Could you give me a more precise reference on this? Which canon of 2
Nicaea did this? I took a hasty glance through the text in _Conciliorum
oecumenicorum decreta_ and didn't see anything of the sort, but perhaps my
glance was too hasty.

The one mass a day rule became the standard in Western canon law at least
from the time of the second recension of Gratian's Decretum, i.e., by
around 1150 ff. It's in D. 1 de cons. c. 53, which is an excerpt from a
letter of Pope Alexander I (early 2nd cent.). Friedberg's edition,
incidentally, ascribes it erroneously to Alexander II; but see Jaffe,
Regesta No. 29. It had appeared earlier in Ivo of Chartres' Decretum 2.81
(PL 161:179). The rule was reiterated in a letter of Innocent III to the
bp. of Worcester, which found its way into 3 Comp. 3.33.1 and thence into
the Decretals of Gregory IX at X 3.41.3.
OK?
