[31] Upon this monastery see a letter _ad familiares_ of Jacques de Vitry, written in 1216 and published in 1847 by Baron Jules de St. Genois in t. xiii. of the _Memoires de l'Academie royale des sciences et des beaux arts de Bruxelles_ (1849). _Conform._, 106b, 2; 114a, 2; _Spec._, 184.

This passage is of extreme importance because it sums up in a few lines the ecclesiastical policy of Honorius III. After speaking of the perils with which the _Humiliati_ threatened the Church, Burchard adds: _Quae volens corrigere dominus papa ordinem Predicatorum instituit et confirmavit._ Now these _Humiliati_ were an approved Order. But Burchard, while classing them with heretics beside the Poor Men of Lyons, expresses in a word the sentiments of the papacy toward them; it had for them an invincible repugnance, and not wishing to strike them directly it sought a side issue. Similar tactics were followed with regard to the Brothers Minor, with that overplus of caution which the prodigious success of the Order inspired. It all became useless when in 1221 Brother Elias became Francis's vicar, and especially when, after the latter's death, he had all the liberty necessary for directing the Order according to the views of Ugolini, now become Gregory IX.
