Summary:

"The Parliament of Paris with the support of Catherine of Medici took immediate action to suppress Tanquerel's theses. He was coerced to sign a retraction which was publicly read during a meeting of the Faculty of Theology called for this very purpose. This case illustrates the pivotal moment when the symbiosis between God and Caesar expressed in Tanquerel's thesis - characteristic of the political-religious realm for centuries - came into question. This moment was critical because the Pope's long standing leadership over the kings' mundane actions was coming to a halt"-- Provided by publisher.
