Christian Catholic not Traditional Catholic

IANS is a Christian who follows Jesus Christ in the Church He established.  The most recent Pope who spoke on divisive titles was Pope Benedict XV

AD BEATISSIMI APOSTOLORUM

Appealing for Peace
Encyclical of Pope Benedict XV promulgated on November 1, 1914.

21. As We are now for the first time addressing you all, Venerable Brethren, it seems a fitting moment to mention certain important points to which We propose to give particular attention, so that by the prompt union of your efforts with Our own, the desired good results may be more quickly attained.
22. The success of every society of men, for whatever purpose it is formed, is bound up with the harmony of the members in the interests of the common cause. Hence We must devote Our earnest endeavours to appease dissension and strife, of whatever character, amongst Catholics, and to prevent new dissensions arising, so that there may be unity of ideas and of action amongst all. The enemies of God and of the Church are perfectly well aware that any internal quarrel amongst Catholics is a real victory for them. Hence it is their usual practice when they see Catholics strongly united, to endeavour by cleverly sowing the seeds of discord, to break up that union. And would that the result had not frequently justified their hopes, to the great detriment of the interests of religion! Hence, therefore, whenever legitimate authority has once given a clear command, let no one transgress that command, because it does not happen to commend itself to him; but let each one subject his own opinion to the authority of him who is his superior, and obey him as a matter of conscience. Again, let no private individual, whether in books or in the press, or in public speeches, take upon himself the position of an authoritative teacher in the Church. All know to whom the teaching authority of the Church has been given by God: he, then, possesses a perfect right to speak as he wishes and when he thinks it opportune. The duty of others is to hearken to him reverently when he speaks and to carry out what he says.

23. As regards matters in which without harm to faith or discipline-in the absence of any authoritative intervention of the Apostolic See- there is room for divergent opinions, it is clearly the right of everyone to express and defend his own opinion. But in such discussions no expressions should be used which might constitute serious breaches of charity; let each one freely defend his own opinion, but let it be done with due moderation, so that no one should consider himself entitled to affix on those who merely do not agree with his ideas the stigma of disloyalty to faith or to discipline.

24. It is, moreover, Our will that Catholics should abstain from certain appellations which have recently been brought into use to distinguish one group of Catholics from another. They are to be avoided not only as "profane novelties of words," out of harmony with both truth and justice, but also because they give rise to great trouble and confusion among Catholics. Such is the nature of Catholicism that it does not admit of more or less, but must be held as a whole or as a whole rejected: "This is the Catholic faith, which unless a man believe faithfully and firmly; he cannot be saved" (Athanas. Creed). There is no need of adding any qualifying terms to the profession of Catholicism: it is quite enough for each one to proclaim "Christian is my name and Catholic my surname," only let him endeavour to be in reality what he calls himself.

28. There remains one matter which must not be passed over in silence, and that is, to remind the priests of the whole world, as Our most dear sons, how absolutely necessary it is, for their own salvation, and for the fruitfulness of their sacred ministry, that they should be most closely united with their Bishop and most loyal to him. The spirit of insubordination and independence, so characteristic of our times, has, as We deplored above, not entirely spared the ministers of the Sanctuary. It is not rare for pastors of the Church to find sorrow and contradiction where they had a right to look for comfort and help. Let those who have so unfortunately failed in their duty, recall to their minds again and again, that the authority of those whom "the Holy Spirit hath placed as Bishops to rule the Church of God" (Acts xx. 28) is a divine authority. Let them remember that if, as we have seen, those who resist any legitimate authority, resist God, much more impiously do they act who refuse to obey the Bishop, whom God has consecrated with a special character by the exercise of His power. "Since charity," wrote St. Ignatius Martyr, "doth not suffer me to be silent concerning you, therefore was I forward to exhort you, that you run in harmony with the mind of God: for Jesus Christ also, our inseparable life, is the mind of the Father, even as the bishops that are settled in the farthest parts of the earth are in the mind of Jesus Christ. So then it becometh you to run in harmony with the mind of the bishop" (Ep. ad Ephes. iii.). These words of the illustrious Martyr are re-echoed throughout the ages by the Fathers and Doctors of the Church.

29. Moreover, bishops have a very heavy burden in consequence of the difficulties of the times; and heavier still is their anxiety for the salvation of the flock committed to their care: "For they watch as being to render an account of your souls" (Heb. xiii. 17). Are not, then, they to be termed cruel who, by the refusal of the obedience which is due, increase that burden and its bitterness? "For this is not expedient for you" (Heb. xiii. 17), the Apostle would say to them, and that, because "the Church is a people united to its bishop, a flock which adheres to its pastor" (St. Cyprian: Ep. 66 [al. 69]), whence it follows that he is not with the Church who is not with the bishop.

33 We most lovingly grant to you, Venerable Brethren, to your clergy and to your people, the Apostolic Benediction, as a harbinger of heavenly gifts and as a pledge of our affection.
Given at St. Peter's, Rome, on the Feast of All Saints the first day of November, one thousand nine hundred and fourteen the first year of our Pontificate.

Who eats of the Pope dies like a beast

MY CATHOLIC FAITH

In the castle of Fontainebleu Napoleon forced the Pope to give up the States of the Church, promising an annual income of two million francs. In the same castle Napoleon was himself later forced to sign an abdication and was promised a yearly income of the same amount. When the Pope excommunicated Napoleon, he answered that the words of an old man would not make the arms drop from the hands of his soldiers. In the Russian campaign, because of the intense cold, this actually happened. He kept Pius VII prisoner for five years; he himself was later a prisoner for seven years. Four days after ordering the union of the States of the Church with France, he lost the battles of Aspern and Erlingen.

73. The Gates of Hell

What was the end of the leaders of persecution, schism, and heresy? --Many of the leaders of persecution, schism, and heresy came to a bad end.


1. Of the first persecutors, several died violent deaths. The death of Judas is the type for his imitators. It is related that:Herod, the murderer of the Holy Innocents, died in unspeakable tortures.
   Herod, the murderer of James the Apostle, was devoured by worms.
   
2. Of the persecutors in Rome, Nero was deposed, and in despair stabbed himself.
3. Domitian was assassinated.
   Hadrian became insane.
   Marcus Aurelius, despondent over the ingratitude of his only son, starved himself to death.
   Septimus Severus, whose life had been attempted by his only son, died in despair.
   Decius died miserably in a swamp, during a battle.
   Valerian was flayed alive by the Persians.
   Maxentius was drowned in the Tiber.
   Diocletian died from a loathsome disease.
   Julian the Apostate was struck down by a lance on the field of battle, and died crying: "Galilean, Thou hast conquered!"
4. 
   
5. The case of Napoleon is instructive.
   Drunk with power, Napoleon seized Rome in 1808, declaring himself the "successor of Charlemagne". He banished Cardinals and bishops, and carrying off Pope Pius VII, held him prisoner in Savona. Enemies of the Church exulted: "The Papacy is ended! The Emperor has devoured the Pope!" They forgot the divine promise to Peter: "The gates of hell shall not prevail!"; on that promise was based the ancient saying: "Who eats of the Pope dies like a beast." On the same day that Napoleon died in exile at St. Helena, Pope Pius VII was celebrating his own feast day in Rome.
6. 
   
7. Heretics and schismatics have shared the same fate. Arius burst asunder during a triumphal procession. Voltaire died in despair. The Greek Schismatics fell under the Turkish yoke in 1453, on Pentecost, the feast of that Holy Ghost about whom they had expressed doubts.Truly history has shown the truth of the words of Holy Scripture; "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God" (Heb. 10:31).

Why can no other church except the Catholic Church be the True Church of Christ? --No other church except the Catholic Church can be the True Church of Christ, because no other church possesses the marks of unity, holiness, catholicity, and apostolicity.
Truth cannot change; hence the constantly changing doctrines of non-Catholic churches can not be true. They also differ in their government. Some recognize the temporal ruler as their spiritual head. Others have ministers whom they call bishops, deacons, elders. The majority reject such titles.



1. There are hundreds of churches and Christian denominations, each different from the others; they do not possess the mark of unity. They differ in even the essentials of faith. They cannot agree, and keep dividing and subdividing (SSPX -> SSPV) year by year. Their only similarity appears to be their opposition to the Catholic Church. (SSPX)
2. 
   Such churches are multiplying. In the United States there are over two hundred religious bodies. They arise, then pass away, to give place to other denominations. Realizing the great handicap of disunity, efforts have been made by various groups of churches to organize. General councils and conferences of different bodies have been held; but there is no vital result for unity. This is of course because, though agreement may be general concerning matters such as social work, beneficent societies, and the like, no agreement can be found in the essentials of faith and doctrine. This is the result of free interpretation of the Bible, and the repudiation of Peter's successor, Vicar of Christ. (SSPX)
   
   
3. The denominations and their founders are not holy in the same sense or degree as the Catholic Church and its Founder are holy. Many non-Catholics are upright and good because they have retained many doctrines and practices of the Catholic Church.
4. 
   Many founders of non-Catholic churches were far from holy. Luther, the founder of Protestantism was an apostate friar, who married a nun who had left her convent and turned against her vows. During his life he taught contradictory doctrines, some of them immoral. 
   
   Henry VIII, the founder of Anglicanism, married five women successively, after divorcing his lawful wife; he had two put to death.
   
   No denomination is catholic, or universal. 
   
   These non-Catholic churches are everywhere, but are different everywhere.
   
   A regional or national Church cannot be the true Church, since it cannot teach all nations, as Christ commanded.
   
   No heretical Christian denomination is apostolic. The Protestant churches are some 1500 years later than the Church founded on the Rock of Peter.
   
   Not even their teachings come down from the Apostles. Their ministers cannot trace their succession from the Apostles. Not one teaches all the doctrines of the Apostles. How then could they be the Church founded by Christ?

What should be the attitude of Catholics towards those who do not belong to the True Church? --

Catholics should observe an attitude of understanding towards them, because the majority of those who do not belong to the True Church are in good faith.



1. Catholic teachings are not easy to understand at first sight; many Catholic practices require sacrifice. Towards such a religion there is bound to be prejudice.
2. 
   To be obliged to go to Mass every Sunday under pain of mortal sin; to have to confess to a priest, who is another human being like ourselves; to condemn divorce and birth control; to observe fasts and abstinence;-these are not easy doctrines.
   
   No wonder in looking for relief, man often, however unconsciously, seeks motives for not accepting the Church that commands its members to obey such precepts, to accept such doctrines.
   
   When Our Lord first announced the institution of the Holy Eucharist, many of the disciples said, "This is a hard saying. Who can listen to it?" (John 6:62). And they no longer went with Jesus.
   
   
3. Catholics should above all try to give good example; (Cloaking, not Condemning) nothing is more effective in the eyes of non-Catholics than the exemplary lives led by good Catholics."Behave yourselves honorably among the pagans; that, whereas they slander you as evildoers, they may through observing you by reason of your good works glorify God in the day of visitation" (1 Peter 2:12). Catholics should often pray for the conversion of those outside the Church, praying with the Good Shepherd for only one Fold.
   
   
4. While avoiding useless discussions that generally end in bitter quarrels, Catholics should try to show the beauty, the truth of the Catholic Church.
5. 
   In our friendly discussions with non-Catholics we should not be always on the defensive, but should try to see whether they can trace the origin of the authority of their ministers to the Apostles, whether their church can be proved the True Church by the possession of the four marks. Often our non-Catholic friends criticise the Catholic Church on account of some devotional practices like holy water, candles, etc., as if such practices belonged to the essentials of faith.

Confession and Communion

I rang a kind Priest in a local Parish Thursday and I arranged for a Confession and during which Holy Sacrament I accused my own self of the sin of refusing to accept the decisions of the Magisterium with a religious submission of mind.

For the first time since the 1970s, IANS really is in Full Communion with Holy Mother Church and he accepts that Vatican Two is in continuity with all of the previous Ecumenical Councils and he accepts the Pauline Rite as a fully legitimate Rite of the Catholic Church and even though he prefers the Tridentine Mass, IANS confesses that the Normative Mass is also a fully Catholic Mass and a Holy Sacrifice of Propitiation and he accepts with a religious submission of mind all Doctrinal and Disciplinary decisions taken by this or any Pope who has ever lived or ever will live.

It is not important what was or was not the cause of his personal metanoia, what is it important is his public Confession that IANS was so late in, finally, coming to the right decision because he prided his own self on his putative grasp of Catholic Tradition.

Lord have Mercy on IANS, a sinner. 

Psalm 102: The Lord is compassionate and merciful; long suffering and plenteous in mercy. He will not always be angry nor will He threaten for ever. He hath not dealt with us according to our sins; nor rewarded us according to our  iniquities.

ABE Ministry Issues Edict on Cloaking and Condemning

8 And the sons of Noe, who came out of the ark, were Sem, Cham, and Japheth: and Cham is the father of Chanaan.
19 These three are the sons of Noe: and from these was all mankind spread over the whole earth.
20 And Noe a husbandman began to till the ground, and planted a vineyard.
21 And drinking of the wine was made drunk, and was uncovered in his tent.
22 Which when Cham the father of Chanaan had seen, to wit, that his father's nakedness was uncovered, he told it to his two brethren without.
23 But Sem and Japheth put a cloak upon their shoulders, and going backward, covered the nakedness of their father: and their faces were turned away, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
24 And Noe awaking from the wine, when he had learned what his younger son had done to him,
25 He said: Cursed be Chanaan, a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26 And he said: Blessed be the Lord God of Sem, be Chanaan his servant.

We at ABE Ministry have perfected the art of apologies and forgiveness-begging because we specialise in sin and error and we have been up to our old sins and errors recently and so, once again, we seek pardon of our sins and pledge fidelity to The Body of Christ as we issue the STOP-ACTING-LIKE-CHAM Edict.

When Christian Catholics (that is what we are supposed to call our own selves) routinely uncover the nakedness of their Father, Pope Francis, by attacking him publicly, Cui Bono?

 By attacking our Father publicly, by resisting him to his face, we are stabbing Him in the back.

There is no good that can come from this. We will not be blessed for condemning our Father publicly but we will be blessed for cloaking our Father publicly.

And if IANS fails to bestir his own self to cloak our Father by defending him publicly, the least he can do is follow the counsel of Foley;

Satan can, and does, use everything - especially Tradition * - to attack the Church Jesus established and by publicly uncovering the nakedness of our Father, we are the slaves of Satan and not loyal sons of Our Father in Heaven.

We can not control others, we can only control our own selves and aiding and abetting the AntiChrist ain't an idea we ought be too keen on.

Uncovering the nakedness of our Father publicly is a sign of our own weakness. Are we fearful that if we do not uncover our Father's nakedness, we have somehow failed?

OK, if that is your idea, source it in the Church Fathers; go on, identify one of them who told us we have a duty to attack our Father publicly.

Y'all may do what you desire but as for me and mine?

We will serve the Lord by succoring even he whom soi disant trads call a sucker.

* Satan is exploiting Tradition by using the SSPX
as a stick with which to whip and scourge The Body of Christ, the Church Jesus established and Satan is especially adroit at using the Immemorial Mass as a tool to pry away from Jesus' Church those attached to that Holy Rite.  What, you didn't think Satan would use Holy Things to ruin souls and attack the Catholic Church? He does; just look at what Satan has done to the putatively faithful
Catholics who have fallen for the lies of the
Medjugorje Cult -Rosaries and Miracles. Satan
never rests and he is clever and diabolical in his
use of that which is Holy or that which seems to 
be Tradition.

Regrets not Resolutions

IANS eschews resolutions owing to his habit of reflecting upon his regrets and one of IANS' greatest regrets is that he was not born Andy Griffith and so he never had a chance to appear in an “Andy of Mayberry” Episode in which, after surveying the damage inflicted upon Mayberry by a Tornado, he said to his Deputy, “This once beautiful town is now nothing but rubble, Barney.”

The Four Authoritative Creeds

(H/T St. Louis Catholic via Fr. Z.)

The Apostle's Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Ghost Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

Athanasian Creed

The Athanasian Creed, also know as the "Quicumque vult", was formerly recited at the office of Prime on Sundays. It is one of the four authoritative Creeds of the Catholic Church. In 1940, the lost 'Excerpta' of St. Vincent of Lerins (flourished in 440: "quod ubique, quod semper, quod ab omnibus creditum est") was discovered, and this work contains much of the language of the Creed. The earliest known copy of the creed was included in a prefix to a collection of homilies by Caesarius of Arles (died 542).

Whoever wishes to be saved must, above all, keep the Catholic faith.
 For unless a person keeps this faith whole and entire he will undoubtedly be lost forever.
 

This is what the Catholic faith teaches: we worship one God in the Trinity and the Trinity in unity. 
We distinguish among the persons, but we do not divide the substance. 


For the Father is a distinct person; the Son is a distinct person; and the Holy Ghost is a distinct person. 
Still the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost have one divinity, equal glory, and coeternal majesty.


What the Father is, the Son is, and the Holy Ghost is. 
The Father is uncreated, the Son is uncreated, and the Holy Ghost is uncreated.
 The Father is boundless, the Son is boundless, and the Holy Ghost is boundless.
The Father is eternal, the Son is eternal, and the Holy Ghost is eternal.
 

Nevertheless, there are not three eternal beings, but one eternal being.
Thus there are not three uncreated beings, nor three boundless beings, but one uncreated being and one boundless being. 


Likewise, the Father is omnipotent, the Son is omnipotent, and the Holy Ghost is omnipotent.
Yet there are not three omnipotent beings, but one omnipotent being. 
Thus the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Ghost is God.
 But there are not three gods, but one God.


The Father is Lord, the Son is Lord, and the Holy Ghost is Lord. 
There as not three lords, but one Lord.
 For according to Christian truth, we must profess that each of the persons individually is God; and according to Christian religion we are forbidden to say that there are three gods or lords.


The Father is not made by anyone, nor created by anyone, nor generated by anyone.
The Son is not made nor created, but he is generated by the Father alone.
 The Holy Ghost is not made nor created nor generated, but proceeds from the Father and the Son.
 There is, then, one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, but not three sons; one Holy Ghost, not three holy ghosts.


In this Trinity, there is nothing greater, nothing less than anything else. 
But the entire three persons are coeternal and coequal with one another.
 

So that, as we have said, we worship complete unity in the Trinity and the Trinity in unity. 
This, then, is what he who wishes to be saved must believe about the Trinity. It is also necessary for eternal salvation that he believes steadfastly in the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ.


The true faith is: we believe and profess that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is both God and man. 
As God He was begotten of the substance of the Father before time; as man He was born in time of the substance of His Mother.
 He is perfect God; and He is perfect man, with a rational soul and human flesh.


He is equal to the Father in His divinity, but He is inferior to the Father in His humanity. 
Although He is God and man, He is not two, but one Christ.
And He is one, not because His divinity was changed into flesh, but because His humanity was assumed to God.
 He is one, not at all because of a mingling of substances, but because He is one person.
 As a rational soul and flesh are one man: so God and man are one Christ.


He died for our salvation, descended to hell, arose from the dead on the third day.
 Ascended into heaven, sits at the right hand of God the Father almighty, and from there He shall come to judge the living and the dead.


At His coming, all men are to arise with their own bodies; and they are to give an account of their lives. 
Those who have done good deeds will go into eternal life; those who have done evil will go into everlasting fire.
 This is the Catholic faith. Everyone must believe it, firmly and steadfastly; otherwise He cannot be saved. Amen.


Nicene Creed

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; Through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Ghost was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son,

who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.

Amen.

(IANS' Personal Favorite, with Athanasius' a close second) 

Creed of Pope Pius IV

The "Professio fidei Tridentina", also known as the "Creed of Pope Pius IV", is one of the four authoritative Creeds of the Catholic Church. It was issued on November 13, 1565 by Pope Pius IV in his bull "Iniunctum nobis" under the auspices of the Council of Trent (1545 - 1563). It was subsequently modified slightly after the First Vatican Council (1869 - 1870) to bring it inline with the dogmatic definitions of the Council. The major intent of the Creed was to clearly define the Catholic faith against Protestantism. At one time it was used by Theologians as an oath of loyalty to the Church and to reconcile converts to the Church, but it is rarely used these days.

I, N, with a firm faith believe and profess each and everything which is contained in the Creed which the Holy Roman Church maketh use of. To wit:

I believe in one God, The Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the Only-begotten Son of God. Born of the Father before all ages. God of God, Light of Light, true God of true God. Begotten, not made, of one substance with the Father. By whom all things were made. Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven. And became incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary: and was made man. He was also crucified for us, suffered under Pontius Pilate, and was buried. And on the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and His kingdom will have no end. And in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of life, Who proceeds from the Father and the Son. Who together with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, and who spoke through the prophets. And one holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I await the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

The Apostolic and Ecclesiastical traditions and all other observances and constitutions of that same Church I firmly admit to and embrace.

I also accept the Holy Scripture according to that sense which holy mother the Church hath held, and doth hold, and to whom it belongeth to judge the true sense and interpretations of the Scriptures. Neither will I ever take and interpret them otherwise than according to the unanimous consent of the Fathers.

I also profess that there are truly and properly Seven Sacraments of the New Law, instituted by Jesus Christ our Lord, and necessary for the salvation of mankind, though not all are necessary for everyone; to wit, Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Penance, Extreme Unction, Holy Orders, and Matrimony; and that they confer grace; and that of these, Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Orders cannot be repeated without sacrilege. I also receive and admit the accepted and approved ceremonies of the Catholic Church in the solemn administration of the aforesaid sacraments.

I embrace and accept each and everything which has been defined and declared in the holy Council of Trent concerning original sin and justification.

I profess, likewise, that in the Mass there is offered to God a true, proper, and propitiatory sacrifice for the living and the dead; and that in the most holy sacrament of the Eucharist there is truly, really, and substantially, the Body and Blood, together with the soul and divinity, of our Lord Jesus Christ; and that a conversion takes place of the whole substance of the bread into the Body, and of the whole substance of the wine into the Blood, which conversion the Catholic Church calls Transubstantiation. I also confess that under either species alone Christ is received whole and entire, and a true sacrament.

I steadfastly hold that there is a Purgatory, and that the souls therein detained are helped by the suffrages of the faithful. Likewise, that the saints, reigning together with Christ, are to be honored and invoked, and that they offer prayers to God for us, and that their relics are to be venerated. I most firmly assert that the images of Christ, of the Mother of God, ever virgin, and also of other Saints, ought to be kept and retained, and that due honor and veneration is to be given them.

I also affirm that the power of indulgences was left by Christ in the Church, and that the use of them is most wholesome to Christian people.

I acknowledge the Holy Catholic Apostolic Roman Church as the mother and teacher of all churches; and I promise true obedience  to the Bishop of Rome, successor to St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles, and Vicar of Jesus Christ. 

I likewise undoubtedly receive and profess all other things delivered, defined, and declared by the sacred Canons, and general Councils, and particularly by the holy Council of Trent, and by the ecumenical Council of the Vatican, particularly concerning the primacy of the Roman Pontiff and his infallible teaching. I condemn, reject, and anathematize all things contrary thereto, and all heresies which the Church hath condemned, rejected, and anathematized.

This true Catholic faith, outside of which no one can be saved, which I now freely profess and to which I truly adhere, I do so profess and swear to maintain inviolate and with firm constancy with the help of God until the last breath of life. And I shall strive, as far as possible, that this same faith shall be held, taught, and professed by all those over whom I have charge. I N. do so pledge, promise, and swear, so help me God and these Holy Gospels of God.

Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa, Mea Maxima Culpa

For the many times I have acted, unintentionally, in consort with the SSPX Schism by substituting Tradition for Church, I accuse my own self of sin and ask pardon and forgiveness.

Jesus Christ established His Church .* He did not establish Tradition.

* And I say to thee: That thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give to the thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed in heaven.
