Yes, I noticed that the quotation didn't quite square with the citation. I had hoped to suggest through this reference that Innocent was indicating that his office was both the source of law and the source of interpretation. You can imagine my disappointment at the relatively innocuous claim that where law is, interpretation follows.

What I found according to the link given is the following. Am I completely in error here?
The source of all law is the source also of interpretation" (Innocent III, ...X, V, 39, 31). (Liber Extra, book 5, title 39, chapter 31. ) Un peu différent de (a little different from): « unde ius prodiit, interpretatio quoque procedat, » de Grégoire IX, Liber V, De sententia excommunicationis
(D e c r e t a l i u m
G r e g o r i i p a p a e I X
c o m p i l a t i o n i s
l i b e r V T i t u l u s X X X I X . De sententia excommunicationis.)
"Là où le droit paraît, une interprétation se présente" = Là où il est question de droit, il y a toujours de l`interprétation.
Or, « where there is law, there is interpretation “ .
