EspañolSECOND COUNCIL OF THE LATERAN
(Redirected from Second Lateran Council)
The 'Second Lateran, and tenth ecumenical council' was held by Pope Innocent II in April 1139, and was attended by close to a thousand clerics.
Its immediate task was to neutralize the after-effects of the schism, which had only been terminated in the previous year by the death of Antipope Anacletus II (d. January 25 1138). All consecrations received at his hands were declared invalid, his adherents were deposed, and King Roger II of Sicily was excommunicated. Arnold of Brescia, too, was removed from office and banished from Italy. The harshness with which Innocent treated former adherents of Anacletus distressed Bernard of Clairvaux.
The council may have banned the use of crossbows against Christians[1][2]. The authenticity, interpretation and translation of this source is contested.[3]
The council also issued a ban on clerics studying Roman law. This ban was not successful. Many of the Lateran decrees were restatements of canons issued in councils over which Innocent had presided when away from Rome.
The decrees of the Second Council were the latest materials added to Gratian's ''Decretum'', the fundamental text in the university-level study of canon law. It may have been added to a later version of the collection.
