Curious how the current Vatican still recognizes that Bull as having
done just that....
Ex post facto excommunication doesn't change the fact that a pope in office
was a pope when he was in office, and thereby had administrative powers.
Still looking forward to your translation of the Papal Bull Ad ea ex quibus.
