Pope Leo X issued this bull on 17 June 1513. It is concerned with the work of the Fifth Council of the Lateran (1512-1517), an ecumenical council convoked by the Catholic church, meeting in its seventh session. Reform of the church and curia are on the docket, along with a plan for universal peace during this tumultuous period before the Council of Trent.
