In the papal letter the Novit (Crisis, pp.134-135)Innocent III stated how the papal society can justifiably interfere with the feudal disputes between the kings of France and England.

Innocent used this quote in my own view to say that if certain forms of government do not help, or do not suit the needs of the one who is looking for help, then you must turn to the church to clear up the situation.
