medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

No, though confession was a "forum internum" with legal ramifications. What I mean is the friars were intruding into many aspects of diocesan life, whether a bishop's jurisdiction over heresy or a parish priest's role in annual confessions & communions under the decree Omnis utriusque sexus of Lateran IV.

"parish priests" held court?? 

am i right in assuming that this "intrusion" more or less began with the 
crusade against the Albists? 

or were there other examples of it, perhaps even pre-dating the mendicants? 

i forget when we start getting Eyetalians being introduced into the chapter at 
Chartres (and, presumably, elsewhere) --before 1250, i believe-- and i've 
always just assumed that that phenomenon represents an "intrusion" of papal 
power into what was certainly, "traditionally," a very local institution (the 
Chapter of Chartres), personnel-wise. 

there should be a study of "foreigners" in French cathedral chapters in the 
13th c., but i've never come across it. 

have to ask a reference lieberrian, i suppose... 

>The crusade issue within Europe is a messy one too, as you well know. 

well, it certainly seems to have been "messy" from the point of view of poor 
Ray of Toulouse.
