Pope Boniface VIII quotes

Pope Boniface VIII was the head of the Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal States at the turn of the 14th century. His papacy was marked by intense political conflicts, especially with King Philip IV of France. He is remembered for issuing the papal bull Unam Sanctam, asserting strong claims of papal authority. Here are 3 of his quotes:

We declare, say, define, and pronounce that it is absolutely necessary for the salvation of every human creature to be subject to the Roman Pontiff.

Pope Boniface VIII

If, then, the Greeks or others say that they were not committed to the care of Peter and his successors, they necessarily confess that they are not of the sheep of Christ; for the Lord says, in John, that there is one fold, one shepherd, and one only.
