However, the compensation offered to the crusaders in later decrees suggests that the motivations for crusading were monetary, not spiritual.

This usurpation, along with ordering to the vassals, against the holy vow of loyalty, to disobey their legitimate sovereign in relation to the points the Brief deals with, not only offends the justice, but also
