Profession of Faith Prescribed by Pope Michael
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 arose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven; sitteth 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 Ghost, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. I renounce Satan, and all his works, and all his allurements.
I accept everything the holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, as She teaches and believes them, especially those things which are de fide; of faith.
I reject each and every error, which the one, holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church rejects, as She rejects and condemns them, without reservation. Furthermore, I declare anathema, every heresy against the Holy Catholic Church, and likewise him whosoever has honored or believes any writings beyond those which the Catholic Church accepts ought to be held on the authority or has venerated them. Whatever the Holy and Universal Church believes and praises, I also believe and praise, and whoever they declare anathema, I declare anathema. (DZ349)
I promise obedience to the infallible supreme Pontiff of the Apostolic See and to his successor under the testimony of Christ, affirming what the holy and universal Church affirms and condemning what she condemns. (DZ357) I accept the authority of the Roman Pontiff, that when he shall decide a matter it is forever closed. I accept the laws of the Church as the Church interprets them and reject any interpretation that contradicts the interpretation of the Church. I submit fully to Pope Michael, Successor of St. Peter.
