Synod of Verona

The Synod of Verona was held November 1184 under the auspices of Pope Lucius III and the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick I.[1]

The meeting was to address numerous issues. Some of these were; dispute over claims between empire and papacy in central Italy,[2] proprietary concerns of the bishopric of Gurk,[3] plans for a crusade to the Holy Land,[1] dispute over the investiture of the anti-Archbishop of Trier, Rudolf of Wied,[1] and the condemnation of heresy.[1]

Though Lucius and Frederick were able to agree on Gurk, a new crusade and heresy issues,[3][1] the remaining issues were left unsettled.[1]

The most significant event of the synod was the declaration of the papal bull Ad abolendam[4] and the joint condemnation of Arnoldists, Cathars, Humiliati, Josephini, Patarenes, Passagini, and Waldensians as heretics.[5]
