§ 23.
Considering
besides, that there was undertaken by this very Saint Bonanventure so great a
measure of growth in science, holiness of life and in the dignity of the
Episcopacy and the Cardinalate of the Holy Roman Church, and how great a
familiarity and spiritual companionship the same Saint observed in this life
with blessed Thomas of Aquino, as his contemporary, fellow student and teacher,
that fraternal charity joined together in this age them, whom We believe have
attained the same rewards in Heaven, the present Church venerates with equal
honor, We concede, receiving the aforesaid feast among the feasts of the Sacred
Apostolic Palace and ennumerating, the same indulgence in the aforesaid feast
in the Church of the Holy Apostles in the City, which is had in the feast of
the Saint Thomas of Aquino himself in the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary in
the City, commonly named (sopra) Minerva; and likewise We determine, that the
Friars Minor in the dear University of Paris with the same privileges can and
ought to enjoy and rejoice on account of the merits of the same St.
Bonaventure, with which from apostolic indults the Friar Preachers, who in the
same University are accustomed to posses and rejoice in, and do rejoice, by the
insght and grace of the same St. Thomas, or in whatsoever manner they might be
able to either posses or rejoice in the future.
