Strenuous efforts of the papacy were directed to secure the repeal of this document, and in 1461 Pius II induced Louis XI to revoke it in return for political concessions in Naples.

This action, opposed by the University and Parlement of Paris, proved so unpopular that two years later the Gallican liberties were reasserted in their full extent.
Harmony was established between the interests of the curia and of the French government by the compromise known as the Concordat of Bologna.
[Sidenote: 1516] The {43} concessions to the king were so heavy that it was difficult for Leo X to get his cardinals to consent to them.
Almost the whole power of appointment, of jurisdiction, and of taxation was put into the royal hands, some stipulations being made against the conferring of benefices on immoral priests and against the frivolous imposition of ecclesiastical punishments.

What the pope gained was the abandonment of the assertion made at Bourges of the supremacy of a general council.

The Concordat was greeted by a storm of protest in France.

The Sorbonne refused to recognize it and appealed at once to a general council.
