Unam Sanctam: Submission to the Pope requisite for salvation
11/18/1302 AD decreed
The Bull lays down dogmatic propositions on the unity of the Catholic Church, the necessity of belonging to it for eternal salvation, the position of the Pope as supreme head of the Church, and the duty thence arising of submission to the Pope in order to belong to the Church and thus to attain salvation.
The Pope further emphasizes the higher position of the spiritual in comparison with the secular order.
