Honorius IV inherited plans for another [[crusade]], but confined himself to collecting the [[tithes]] imposed by the [[Second Council of Lyon|Council of Lyon]], arranging with the great banking houses of [[Florence]], [[Siena]], and [[Pistoia]] to act as his agents.

The two largest religious orders received many new privileges from Honorius IV, documented in his ''Regesta''. He often appointed them to special missions and to bishoprics, and gave them exclusive charge of the [[Inquisition]].

He also approved the privileges of the [[Carmelites]] and the [[Augustinians|Augustinian]] hermits and permitted the former to exchange their striped habit for a white one. He was especially devoted to the order founded by [[William X of Aquitaine]] and added numerous privileges to those they had already received from [[Pope Alexander IV|Alexander IV]] and [[Pope Urban IV|Urban IV]]. Besides turning over to them some deserted [[Benedictine]] monasteries, he presented them with the monastery of [[St. Paul at Albano]], which he himself had founded and richly endowed when he was still cardinal.

[[Salimbene]], the chronicler of [[Parma]], asserted that Honorius IV was a foe to the religious orders. This may reflect the fact that he opposed the [[Apostolic Brethren]], an order embracing evangelical poverty that had been started by [[Gerard Segarelli]] at Parma in 1260. On 11 March 1286 he issued a bull condemning them as heretics.

At the [[University of Paris]] he advocated the establishment of chairs for Eastern languages to teach these languages to those who would labour for the conversion of the [[Muslims]] and the reunion of the [[East-West Schism|schismatic]] churches in the East.

He raised only one man to be cardinal, his cousin [[Giovanni Boccamazza]], [[archbishop of Monreale]], on 22 December 1285.

The [[List of extant papal tombs|tomb of Pope Honorius IV]] is in the church of [[Santa Maria in Aracoeli]] in Rome.
