| Summary: | The promulgation of the Fifth Lateran Council decree Apostolici regiminis (1513) traditionally is understood as having been motivated by opposition to teachings on the soul, taught by Pietro Pomponazzi and certain secular Aristotelian philosophers of the day. The decree is also construed as representing the Catholic church's formal dogmatic declaration of the individual immortality of the rational soul. This article argues that while Pomponazzi and his colleagues are likely to have been the decree's primary antagonists, Apostolici regiminis is not a dogmatic declaration on immortality but rather a dogmatic condemnation of the so-called doctrine of the double truth. Building upon this notion, the article proposes certain revisions to the traditional understanding of the decree and its historical context. |
