Pope Innocent IV

Terra Sancti Christi is a papal bull issued by Pope Innocent IV on 23 January 1245 calling for a crusade to the Holy Land.[1][2] In December 1244 Louis IX of France had declared his intention to go on a crusade to the Holy Land and in February Innocent ordered the Franciscans to preach in favour of it.[1]
