Demon, which he calls ‘Bafoel’ who reveals him what he wants to know: for this
reason he said that even if the whole mankind would be placed aside, and would be
only he in the other side , he can’t err, either in what treats about an aspect of a fact
or only of right. He expressed in his public preach that the High Priest, even putting
price to all the sacraments and ecclesiastical charges, can’t commit simony, which is a
heresy to affirm. As a confirmed heretic, he sustains that only his own faith is the
real, he qualified the French –notoriously one of the most Christian populations– of
Cathars. He is a repugnant sodomite, as numerous testimonies prove it. He is also a
killer: in his presence gave death to many clerics saying to his guards, when they not
reached to slay them with the first smite: ‘Beat, beat, Dali, Dali’. He obeyed the
priests to rape the secrets of the confessional. He doesn’t watch nor vigils nor fasts.
He releases philippics against the Order of Dominican Preachers, against the
minor brothers and the Spiritual Franciscans, repeating often that they ruin the
world, that they are hypocrites and false, and that nothing good would happen to
those who confess before them. Trying to destroy the faith, he has conceived an old
aversion against the King of France, in his hate towards the faith of the real Christ,
because in France is where he is and was the splendor of the faith, the great support

Angel would have descended from heaven and said that the French are not subjected
neither to Boniface nor the Emperor, it would be anathema. He permitted the loss in
Holy Land… employing in his personal wars and luxuries the money destined to the
defense of that site. He has been recognized in public as simonist, and moreover, as
the source and base of the simony, selling benefits to the highest bidder, imposing
over the Church and the Bishop servitude and vassalage, with the objective to enrich
his family and his friends with the patrimony of the crucified, and to convert them in
Marquesses, Counts, Barons. He dissolves marriages for money… he annuls the votes
of the nuns… in sum, Knights, he said that prompt, he would make of all the French
martyrs or apostates».
Impressed for the accusations of Plasian, all accompanied by abundant proofs, the
parliamentarians convened to invite Boniface VIII to assist to the Council to exert his defense.
Nevertheless, Philip IV was not in accordance with the collective approval and he wrote
personal letters for many dioceses of France; while Nogaret went to Rome to notify the Pope,
Guillaume de Plaisan, escorted by a dissuasive royal troop, he visited every city in person,
village or hamlets, and he collected the signs of the statements. As was expected, almost
everyone signed when reading the letter to the King and hearing the exposition of the official
accuser; only the Cistercians resists and the other Benedictine Orders, main refugees of the
Golems; Citeaux, the Cluny, and the Temple, disapproved angrily the behavior of Philip the Fair
and manifested that there’s nothing reprehensible in Boniface VIII. Instead, the University of
Paris, the Dominicans of Paris and the Franciscans of Touraine declared to be in favor of the
