Bull of Union with the Copts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bull of Union with the Copts was promulgated by Pope Eugene IV at the Ecumenical Council of Florence on 4 February 1442. It was part of an attempt by the Roman Catholic Church to reunite with other Christian groups including the Coptic Church of Egypt. The attempted union with the Copts failed.
The Bull of Union with the Copts is notable for its clear condemnation of the practice of circumcision for Christians, which is a practice of the Copts.
