“Clemens Scotus, a faithful disciple of Bishop Adelbert, taught with great power in France and 223 Germany, especially in Bavaria and Franconia, that the Pope ought not to have so much power; that he (the Pope) very improperly would forbid the priests (or teachers) to marry; that he introduced many new and unknown ceremonies into the church, and originated false doctrines.
