  During his university career in Paris Henry was personally involved in almost all of the most important events in university and ecclesiastical life. In 1277 he was a member of the commission of theologians set up by Bishop Tempier in order to censure propositions considered erroneous that were being taught at the Faculty of Arts and that would be condemned on 7 March of the same year (Wielockx 2011). Nevertheless, not only did Henry affirm on several occasions that he neither understood nor approved of the condemnation of certain articles, but he himself was pressured by Tempier and the papal legate Simone di Brion to distance himself from the theory of the unicity of substantial form in man (see below, §11).
