A bula Unam Sanctam de Bonifácio VIII no contexto da disputa pelo poder político no final da idade média

Abstract

The present work presents the historical-philosophical context of the writing of the papal Bull Unam Sanctam by Pope Boniface VIII, in the face of the political conflict between him and the king of France, Philip IV, the Beautiful. For this purpose, we try to demonstrate the historical-philosophical scenario of the discussion that led to the writing of the Bull, as well as analyze the content of the Letter in order to verify whether the conclusion of the Bull is a political decision or a spiritual orientation.
