Pope John XXII condemns Eckhart's propositions

1329

The bull In agro dominico listed twenty-eight propositions drawn from Meister Eckhart's sermons and commentaries and found fifteen heretical, eleven ill-sounding. The German Dominican was two years dead and could not answer. The condemnation dampened German Dominican mysticism but could not suppress Tauler and Suso, who continued Eckhart's interior turn toward a mysticism of the soul's union with God.
