The Council of 1123 is reckoned in the series of ecumenical councils. It had
been convoked in December, 1122, immediately after the Concordat of Worms, which
agreement between pope and emperor had caused general satisfaction in the
Church. It put a stop to the arbitrary conferring of ecclesiastical benefices by
laymen, reestablished freedom of episcopal and abbatial elections, separated
spiritual from temporal affairs, and ratified the principle that spiritual
authority can emanate only from the Church; lastly it tacitly abolished the
exorbitant claim of the emperors to interfere in papal elections. So deep was
the emotion caused by this concordat, the first ever signed, that in many
documents of the time, the year 1122 is mentioned as the beginning of a new era.
For its more solemn confirmation and in conformity with the earnest desire of
the Archbishop of Mainz, Callistus II convoked a council to which all the
archbishops and bishops of the West were invited. Three hundred bishops and more
than six hundred abbots assembled at Rome in March, 1123; Callistus II presided
in person. Both originals (instrumenta) of the Concordat of Worms were read and
ratified, and twenty-two disciplinary canons were promulgated, most of them
reinforcements of previous conciliary decrees.

* Canons 3 and 11 forbid priests, deacons, subdeacons, and monks to marry or to
have concubines; it is also forbidden them to keep in their houses any women
other than those sanctioned by the ancient canons. Marriages of clerics are
null pleno jure, and those who have contracted them are subject to penance.
* Canon 6: Nullity of the ordinations performed by the heresiarch Burdinus
(Antipope Gregory VIII) after his condemnation.
* Canon 11: Safeguard for the families and possessions of crusaders.
* Canon 14: Excommunication of laymen appropriating offerings made to the
Church, and those who fortify churches as strongholds.
* Canon 16: Against those who molest pilgrims on their way to Rome.
* Canon 17: Abbots and religious are prohibited from admitting sinners to
penance, visiting the sick, administering extreme unction, singing solemn and
public Masses; they are obliged to obtain the holy chrism and holy oils from
their respective bishops.
