Editor’s Note: 800 years ago today, Pope Honorius III confirmed the Rule of Saint Francis of Assisi, in a ceremony at the Lateran Palace. See text below in Latin, English and Italian. The Translations are my own.

“Friar Francis promises obedience and reverence to the Lord Pope Honorius and to his canonically elected successors and to the Roman Church. And the other friars are bound to obey Friar Francis and his successors.”
How wise were Friar Francis and Pope Honorius III to ensure that Friar Francis promised obedience and reverence to both:
the Lord Pope Honorius and his CANONICALLY ELECTED successors
AND:
the Roman Church.
This is why I have done, everything I have done, for the papacy.
