The main item on the agenda of the council is the Order of the Knights Templar. Clement passes papal bulls to dissolve the Templar Order, confiscate their lands, and label them as heretics.

Ecumenical council of the Catholic Church (1311–1312)

The Council of Vienne was the fifteenth ecumenical council of the Catholic Church and met between 1311 and 1312 in Vienne, France. This occurred during the Avignon Papacy and was the only ecumenical council to be held in the Kingdom of France. One of its principal acts was to withdraw papal support for the Knights Templar at the instigation of Philip IV of France.
