 Robert Wagner - about William of Ockham
On Dec. 1, 1327, the Franciscan general Michael of Cesena arrived in Avignon and stayed at the same convent; he, too, had been summoned by the pope in connection with the dispute over the holding of property.
Michael maintained that because Christ and his Apostles had renounced all ownership and all rights to property, the Franciscans were justified in attempting to do the same thing.
The relations between John and Michael grew steadily worse, to such an extent that, on May 26, 1328, Michael fled from Avignon accompanied by Bonagratia and William.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Gerardus Odonis
The previous minister general, Michael of Cesena, had been deposed by John XXII on 6 June, 1328, on account of his rebellious attitude towards the Holy See in the discussion regarding the rule of poverty (see Fraticelli and Michael of Cesena).
These rulers were unwavering protectors of the rigid adherents to the rule of poverty as well as of the followers of Michael of Cesena and of the Fraticelli.
The procurator of the Scotch king in Paris having reported, however, that his master was not to be found in Scotland, John recalled the commission of the legates, 31 Oct., 1333.

From 1316, with the elections of Michael of Cesena and Pope John XXII, the tide turned decisively against the Spirituals.
Five days later, Michael of Cesena summoned all those detained in the Curia, showed them the bull, and asked whether they would obey it and, further, whether they accepted the pope's right to make such precepts.
Whether or not Michael of Cesena or John XXII sympathized with the Spirituals' views on usus pauper, the threat the zealots were perceived as posing to the unity of the order had become the paramount consideration.

 Intro to OND
Michael of Cesena had issued two "appeals" against documents in which John attacked Franciscan doctrine and practice, and John had replied to these appeals in another document known (from its opening words) as Quia vir reprobus.
Throughout OND Ockham refers to the dissident Franciscans as "the attackers", to John as "the attacked", and to Michael as "the appellant" (John refers to Michael as "this heretic").
Michael pointed out that John's language suggests that he does not regard knowledge as a key of the Church at all (see 120.1-14); in his reply John confirms this interpretation by arguing that knowledge is not a key of the Church (see 121.1-40).

The ideas of Marsiglio and John were not as appealing or as influential in the short term as were the ideas of William of Ockham, the most significant philosopher and theologian of the century, and Michael of Cesena, Minister General of the Order of Friars Minor.
Michael subsequently became critical of the whole papal position and advocated the general council as the supreme authority in the church.
Both Michael of Cesena and William of Ockham believed sincerely that John XXII was demonstrably guilty of heresy in his proceedings against the Franciscans.

Some of them, encouraged by the strongly Observantist general Michael of Cesena, ventured to dispute the Pope's right so to deal with the provisions of his predecessor.
Appealing from this decision, Bonagratia, Occam, and Michael of Cesena were imprisoned at Avignon for four years, until they escaped by the help of the Emperor Louis the Bavarian.
Only a small part of the order, however, joined them, and at a general chapter held in Paris (1329) the majority of all the houses declared their submission to the Pope.

Michael of Cesena maintained that Jesus' teaching and the way he sent the apostles out did indeed demonstrate that worldly goods were an encumbrance and so the Franciscans were right to follow that rule.
The differences were irreconcilable, and fearing for his life, Michael of Cesena fled from Avignon to the protection of the Holy Roman Emperor, Louis IV of Bavaria; William and another Franciscan who opposed the Pope on this issue went with him.
During late 1328, while under the protection of Louis IV, William was instructed by his superior within the order to follow the doctrines contained in several bulls issued by the Pope on the subject of poverty.

In December 1327, Ockham was brought into a theological dispute with the pope on the issue of Franciscans taking a vow of poverty.
When Michael Cesena asked him to comment on the dispute (Cesena believed in the vow of poverty but the pope disagreed), Ockham wrote the reply accusing John of heresy.
Upon learning on their imminent condemnation, Ockham fled the city under the protection of Holy Roman Emperor Louis IV, who was also in conflict with the pope over papal authority over the Holy Roman Empire and had been excommunicated in 1324.

Summoned to Avignon in 1324 by Pope John XXII on accusation of heresy, William spent four years there in effect under house arrest while his teaching and writing were being investigated.
During this period, at the request of Brother Michael of Cesena, head of the Franciscan order, Ockham investigated the controversy between the Franciscans and the Papacy on the doctrine of apostolic poverty, which was central to Franciscan doctrine but anathema to the Pope.
Before a conclusion was reached about the heresy or orthodoxy of William's philosophy, he fled Avignon on May 26, 1328 with Michael of Cesena and a few other friars.

William's mission was to mediate between delegations from Pope John XXII and Michael of Cesena, which would be meeting there.
The purpose of this gathering was to ensure Michael's safe passage to and from the papal palace at Avignon, where he hoped to secure endorsement for various church reforms.
He also makes clear in the course of the brief trial that Michael of Cesena will not succeed in gaining support for his views; the Church has no use for reformers who challenge its hegemony.

It is equally absurd to include in the same category the ignorant Bizocchi and Segarellists and such learned disciples of Michael of Cesena and Louis of Bavaria as William of Occam and Bonagratia of Bergamo, who have often been placed under this comprehensive rubric.
Under Pope Clement V., and more especially under Pope John XXII., fresh Spirituals joined them; and this group of exalted and isolated ascetics soon began to regard itself as the sole legitimate order of the Minorites and then as the sole Catholic Church.
After being excommunicated as schismatics and rebels, founders of a superstitious sect, and propagators of false and pestiferous doctrines, they proceeded to elect a general (for Michael of Cesena had disavowed them) and then a pope called Celestine (L. Wadding, Annales, at date 1313).

Pope John XXII declares that the theory that Christ and his apostles had no possessions, either individually or in common, is null and void, despite the defense put forward by Michael of Cesena, general of the Franciscan order.
He also excommunicates Michael of Cesena, William of Occam, and Bonagratia di Bergamo.
Having responded to the pope's summons, and having refused to yield to the pope in the matter of the doctrine of Christ's possessions, Michael of Cesena, accompanied by William of Occam and Bonagratia di Bergamo, flees Avignon, rather than be imprisoned, and seeks protection from Louis of Bavaria.

The Franciscans held this view, and maintained that their own practices were a special form of “imitation of Christ.” Pope John XXII rejected the doctrine, which is why Michael of Cesena was in Avignon.
The Spirituals, among which were Ockham, Michael of Cesena, and the other exiles who joined them in fleeing Avignon, tried to preserve the original ideal of austere poverty practiced and advocated by St. Francis himself (c.
Meanwhile, Michael of Cesena, acting with insolent audacity, did not await the Holy See's decision: on 30 May 1322 the chapter-general [of the Franciscan order] at Perugia declared itself convinced of the absolute poverty of Christ and the Apostles.

Most members of the Franciscan Order submitted to the Pope's decrees, but in 1328 the head of the Order (Michael of Cesena) and several others including William of Ockham broke with John XXII and eventually sought the protection of the "Roman Emperor", Ludwig of Bavaria, who was already in dispute with John XXII.
Part 1 (which we refer to as "1 Dial."), written apparently fairly soon after his break with the pope, is a thorough discussion of topics relating to heresy and heretics.
The dissident Franciscans were accusing John XXII of teaching heresy and of having become a heretic, and the pope referred to their leader, Michael of Cesena, as "this heretic".

[1] For some time John had been in conflict with 'spirituals' or 'zealots' among the Franciscans and at first had had Michael's cooperation; indeed Michael had handed over to the Inquisition certain 'spirituals' who refused to promise obedience to one of John's rulings, and four of them had been burned.
