Pope Innocent IV
In 1247, the Carmelites asked Pope Innocent IV to change their rule (rule of St. Albert of 1209)) to adapt it to their new way of life in the cities. In this new rule, the "community" dimension of life was clearly emphasized. Pope Innocent IV clarifies and corrects some questionable points and mitigates some severities contained in the rule previously in force, and on 1 October 1247 he fixed the text in the bull " Quae honorem Conditoris omnium ".
