COR PAULI : COR CHRISTI

The main teachings of St. Paul, since this a Pauline Year for his 2000th birthday.

His powerful connection to and motives to undertake the Ignatian Retreats:

Week 1 P&F Faith, sin, salvation, Heaven, Hell, death, Judgement, Repentance.
Then: Mercy of God, Confession, Renewed First Holy Communion,
Week 2 Call of Christ the King, His Sacred Royalty over all, our response individually and collectively.
Week 3 His Sacred Passion and finding/fulfilling our vocation. The role of priests and the hierarchy of the Church
Week 4 His glorification, living in His Sacred Family (being “in Christ”). The role of the Marriage vocation and its reflection of the
divine wedding feast of eternal life.

1. Faith in Our Lord Jesus Christ as central to salvation, as opposed to the

idea of works of the Jewish Law. Themes such as sin and redemption,
divinity of Christ, uniqueness of His life and Church for salvation. (urging
all to keep the Tradition and avoid sin) 248 times in NT.
Heb 11:1 Now, faith is the substance of things to be hoped for, the
evidence of things that appear not.
Heb 11:2 For by this the ancients obtained a testimony.
Heb 11:3 By faith we understand that the world was framed by the
word of God: that from invisible things visible things might be
made
Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please God. For he that
cometh to God must believe that he is: and is a rewarder to them that The theme this week is: "Cor
seek him.

seeing that he had faith to be healed,
which you have both
learned and received
Act 14:22 (14:21) Confirming the souls of the disciples and exhorting them and heard and seen in
to continue in the faith: and that through many tribulations we must enter
into the kingdom of God. me, these do ye: and the
God of peace shall be
Act 14:27 (14:26) And when they were come and had assembled the church, with you.
they related what great things God had done with them and how he had
opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

Act 15:9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts
by faith.

Act 16:5 And the churches were confirmed in faith and increased in number
daily.

Act 17:31 Because he hath appointed a day wherein he
will judge the world in equity, by the man whom he hath
appointed: giving faith to all, by raising him up from the
dead.
Act 20:21 Testifying both to Jews and Gentiles penance
towards God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Act 24:24 And after some days, Felix, coming with
Drusilla his wife, who was a Jew, sent for Paul and heard
of him the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
Act 26:18 To open their eyes, that they may be converted
from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to
God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a lot
among the saints, by the faith that is in me.
Rom 1:5 By whom we have received grace and
apostleship for obedience to the faith, in all nations, for
his name:
Rom 1:8 First, I give thanks to my God, through Jesus
Christ, for you all: because your faith is spoken of in the
whole world.
Rom 1:12 That is to say, that I may be comforted
together in you by that which is common to us both, your
faith and mine.
Rom 1:17 For the justice of God is revealed therein, from
faith unto faith, as it is written: The just man liveth by
faith.
Rom 3:3 For what if some of them have not believed?
Shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
God forbid!
Rom 3:22 Even the justice of God, by faith of Jesus
Christ, unto all, and upon all them that believe in him:
for there is no distinction.
Rom 3:25 Whom God hath proposed to be a
propitiation, through faith in his blood, to the shewing of
his justice, for the remission of former sins,
Rom 3:26 Through the forbearance of God, for the
shewing of his justice in this time: that he himself may
be just and the justifier of him who is of the faith of Jesus
Christ
Rom 3:27 Where is then thy boasting? It is excluded. By
what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith.
Rom 3:28 For we account a man to be justified by faith,
without the works of the law.
Rom 3:30 For it is one God that justifieth circumcision
by faith and uncircumcision through faith.
Rom 3:31 Do we then, destroy the law through faith?
God forbid! But we establish the law.
1
Rom 4:5 But to him that worketh not, yet believeth in
him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reputed to
justice, according to the purpose of the grace of God.
Rom 4:9 This blessedness then, doth it remain in the
circumcision only or in the uncircumcision also? For we
say that unto Abraham faith was reputed to justice.
Rom 4:11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a
seal of the justice of the faith which he had, being
uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them
that believe, being uncircumcised: that unto them also it
may be reputed to justice:
Rom 4:12 And he might be the father of circumcision;
not to them only that are of the circumcision, but to
them also that follow the steps of the faith that is in the
uncircumcision of our father Abraham.
Rom 4:13 For not through the law was the promise to
Abraham or to his seed, that he should be heir of the
world: but through the justice of faith.
Rom 4:14 For if they who are of the law be heirs, faith is
made void: the promise is made of no effect.
Rom 4:16 Therefore is it of faith, that according to grace
the promise might be firm to all the seed: not to that only
which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith
of Abraham, who is the father of us all,
Rom 4:19 And he was not weak in faith. Neither did he
consider his own body, now dead (whereas he was
almost an hundred years old), nor the dead womb of
Sara.
Rom 4:20 In the promise also of God he staggered not
by distrust: but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to
God:
Rom 5:1 Being justified therefore by faith, let us have
peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Rom 5:2 By whom also we have access through faith
into this grace wherein we stand: and glory in the hope
of the glory of the sons of God.
Rom 9:30 What then shall we say? That the Gentiles
who followed not after justice have attained to justice,
even the justice that is of faith.
Rom 9:32 Why so? Because they sought it not by faith,
but as it were of works. For they stumbled at the
stumblingstone.
Rom 10:6 But the justice which is of faith, speaketh
thus: Say not in thy heart: Who shall ascend into
heaven? That is to bring Christ down;
Rom 10:8 But what saith the scripture? The word is nigh
thee; even in thy mouth and in thy heart. This is the
word of faith, which we preach.

Rom 10:17 Faith then cometh by hearing; and hearing
by the word of Christ.
Rom 11:20 Well: because of unbelief they were broken
off. But thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but
fear.
Rom 12:3 For I say, by the grace that is given me, to all
that are among you, not to be more wise than it behoveth
to be wise, but to be wise unto sobriety and according as
God hath divided to every one the measure of faith.
Rom 12:6 And having different gifts, according to the
grace that is given us, either prophecy, to be used
according to the rule of faith;
Rom 14:1 Now him that is weak in faith, take unto you:
not in disputes about thoughts.
Rom 14:22 Hast thou faith? Have it to thyself before
God. Blessed is he that condemneth not himself in that
which he alloweth.
Rom 14:23 But he that discerneth, if he eat, is
condemned; because not of faith. For all that is not of
faith is sin.
Rom 16:26 (Which now is made manifest by the
scriptures of the prophets, according to the precept of
the eternal God, for the obedience of faith) known
among all nations:
1Co 2:5 That your faith might not stand on the wisdom
of men, but on the power of God.
1Co 12:9 To another, faith in the same spirit: to another,
the grace of healing in one Spirit:
1Co 13:2 And if I should have prophecy and should know
all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I should have all
faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not
charity, I am nothing.
1Co 13:13 And now there remain faith, hope, and
charity, these three: but the greatest of these is charity.
1Co 15:14 And if Christ be not risen again, then is our
preaching vain: and your faith is also vain.
1Co 15:17 And if Christ be not risen again, your faith is
vain: for you are yet in your sins.
1Co 16:13 Watch ye: stand fast in the faith: do manfully
and be strengthened.
2Co 1:24 (1:23) Not because we exercise dominion over
your faith: but we are helpers of your joy. For in faith you
stand.
1
2Co 4:13 But having the same spirit of faith, as it is
written: I believed, for which cause I have spoken; we
also believe. For which cause we speak also:
2Co 5:7 (For we walk by faith and not by sight.)
2Co 8:7 That as in all things you abound in faith and
word and knowledge and all carefulness, moreover also
in your charity towards us: so in this grace also you may
abound.
2Co 10:15 Not glorying beyond measure in other men's
labours: but having hope of your increasing faith, to be
magnified in you according to our rule abundantly.
2Co 13:5 Try your own selves if you be in the faith: prove
ye yourselves. Know you not your own selves, that Christ
Jesus is in you, unless perhaps you be reprobates?
Gal 1:23 But they had heard only: He, who persecuted us
in times past doth now preach the faith which once he
impugned.
Gal 2:16 But knowing that man is not justified by the
works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, we also
believe in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by the
faith of Christ and not by the works of the law: because
by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.
Gal 2:20 And I live, now not I: but Christ liveth in me.
And that I live now in the flesh: I live in the faith of the
Son of God, who loved me and delivered himself for me.
Gal 3:2 This only would I learn of you: Did you receive
the Spirit by the works of the law or by the hearing of
faith?
Gal 3:5 He therefore who giveth to you the Spirit and
worketh miracles among you: doth he do it by the works
of the law or by the hearing of the faith?
Gal 3:7 Know ye, therefore, that they who are of faith,
the same are the children of Abraham.
Gal 3:8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God justifieth
the Gentiles by faith, told unto Abraham before: In thee
shall all nations be blessed.
Gal 3:9 Therefore, they that are of faith shall be blessed
with faithful Abraham.
Gal 3:11 But that in the law no man is justified with God,
it is manifest: because the just man liveth by faith.
Gal 3:12 But the law is not of faith: but he that doth
those things shall live in them.
Gal 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on
the Gentiles through Christ Jesus: that we may receive
the promise of the Spirit by faith.
Gal 3:22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin,
that the promise, by the faith of Jesus Christ, might be
given to them that believe.
Gal 3:23 But before the faith came, we were kept under
the law shut up, unto that faith which was to be revealed.
Gal 3:24 Wherefore the law was our pedagogue in
Christ: that we might be justified by faith.
Gal 3:25 But after the faith is come, we are no longer
under a pedagogue.
Gal 3:26 For you are all the children of God, by faith in
Christ Jesus.
Gal 5:5 For we in spirit, by faith, wait for the hope of
justice.
Gal 5:6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth
any thing nor uncircumcision: but faith that worketh by
Charity.
Gal 5:23 Mildness, faith, modesty, continency, chastity.
Against such there is no law.
Gal 6:10 Therefore, whilst we have time, let us work
good to all men, but especially to those who are of the
household of the faith.
Eph 1:15 Wherefore, I also, hearing of your faith that is
in the Lord Jesus and of your love towards all the saints,
Eph 2:8 For by grace you are saved through faith: and
that not of yourselves, for it is the gift of God.
Eph 3:12 In whom we have boldness and access with
confidence by the faith of him.
Eph 3:17 That Christ may dwell by faith in your hearts:
that, being rooted and founded in charity,
Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism.
Eph 4:13 Until we all meet into the unity of faith and of
the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man,
unto the measure of the age of the fulness of Christ:
Eph 4:29 Let no evil speech proceed from your mouth:
but that which is good, to the edification of faith: that it
may administer grace to the hearers.
Eph 6:16 In all things taking the shield of faith,
wherewith you may be able to extinguish all the fiery
darts of the most wicked one.
Eph 6:23 Peace be to the brethren and charity with
faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Php 1:25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall
abide and continue with you all, for your furtherance and
joy of faith:
1
Php 1:27 Only let your conversation be worthy of the
gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you, or,
being absent, may hear of you, that you stand fast in one
spirit, with one mind labouring together for the faith of
the gospel.
Php 2:17 Yea, and if I be made a victim upon the
sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and
congratulate with you all.
Php 3:9 And may be found in him, not having my
justice, which is of the law, but that which is of the faith
of Christ Jesus, which is of God: justice in faith.
Col 1:4 Hearing your faith in Christ Jesus and the love
which you have towards all the saints.
Col 1:23 If so ye continue in the faith, grounded and
settled, and immoveable from the hope of the gospel
which you have heard, which is preached in all the
creation that is under heaven: whereof I Paul am made a
minister.
Col 2:5 For though I be absent in body, yet in spirit I am
with you, rejoicing, and beholding your order and the
steadfastness of your faith which is in Christ.
Col 2:7 Rooted and built up in him and confirmed in the
faith, as also you have learned: abounding in him in
thanksgiving.
Col 2:12 Buried with him in baptism: in whom also you
are risen again by the faith of the operation of God who
hath raised him up from the dead.
1Th 1:3 Being mindful of the work of your faith and
labour and charity: and of the enduring of the hope of
our Lord Jesus Christ before God and our Father.
1Th 1:8 For from you was spread abroad the word of the
Lord not only in Macedonia and in Achaia but also in
every place: your faith which is towards God, is gone
forth, so that we need not to speak any thing.
1Th 3:2 And we sent Timothy, our brother and the
minister of God in the gospel of Christ, to confirm you
and exhort you concerning your faith:
1Th 3:5 For this cause also, I, forbearing no longer, sent
to know your faith: lest perhaps he that tempteth should
have tempted you: and our labour should be made vain.
1Th 3:6 But now when Timothy came to us from you and
related to us your faith and charity, and that you have a
good remembrance of us always, desiring to see us as we
also to see you:
1Th 3:7 Therefore we were comforted, brethren, in you,
in all our necessity and tribulation, by your faith.
1Th 3:10 Night and day more abundantly praying that
we may see your face and may accomplish those things
that are wanting to your faith?
1Th 5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, having
on the breast plate of faith and charity and, for a helmet,
the hope of salvation.
2Th 1:3 We are bound to give thanks always to God for
you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith groweth
exceedingly and the charity of every one of you towards
each other aboundeth.
2Th 1:4 So that we ourselves also glory in you in the
churches of God, for your patience and faith, and in all
your persecutions and tribulations: which you endure
2Th 1:11 Wherefore also we pray always for you: That
our God would make you worthy of his vocation and
fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness and the work
of faith in power:
2Th 2:13 (2:12) But we ought to give thanks to God
always for you, brethren, beloved of God, for that God
hath chosen you firstfruits unto salvation, in
sanctification of the spirit and faith of the truth:
2Th 3:2 And that we may be delivered from importunate
and evil men: for all men have not faith.
1Ti 1:2 To Timothy, his beloved son in faith. Grace,
mercy and peace, from God the Father and from Christ
Jesus our Lord.
1Ti 1:4 Not to give heed to fables and endless
genealogies, which furnish questions rather than the
edification of God which is in faith.
1Ti 1:5 Now the end of the commandment is charity
from a pure heart, and a good conscience, and an
unfeigned faith.
1Ti 1:14 Now the grace of our Lord hath abounded
exceedingly with faith and love, which is in Christ Jesus.
1Ti 1:19 Having faith and a good conscience, which some
rejecting have made shipwreck concerning the faith.
1Ti 2:7 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher and an
apostle (I say the truth, I lie not), a doctor of the Gentiles
in faith and truth.
1Ti 2:15 Yet she shall be saved through child bearing; if
she continue in faith and love and sanctification with
sobriety.
1Ti 3:9 Holding the mystery of faith in a pure
conscience.
1Ti 3:13 For they that have ministered well shall
purchase to themselves a good degree and much
confidence in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
1
1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit manifestly saith that in the last
times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to
spirits of error and doctrines of devils,
1Ti 4:6 These things proposing to the brethren, thou
shalt be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished up in
the words of faith and of the good doctrine which thou
hast attained unto.
1Ti 4:12 Let no man despise thy youth: but be thou an
example of the faithful, in word, in conversation, in
charity, in faith, in chastity.
1Ti 5:8 But if any man have not care of his own and
especially of those of his house, he hath denied the faith
and is worse than an infidel.
1Ti 5:12 Having damnation, because they have made
void their first faith.
1Ti 6:10 For the desire of money is the root of all evils;
which some coveting have erred from the faith and have
entangled themselves in many sorrows.
1Ti 6:11 But thou, O man of God, fly these things: and
pursue justice, godliness, faith, charity, patience,
mildness.
1Ti 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold on eternal
life, whereunto thou art called and be it confessed a good
confession before many witnesses.
1Ti 6:21 Which some promising, have erred concerning
the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.
2Ti 1:5 Calling to mind that faith which is in thee
unfeigned, which also dwelt first in thy grandmother
Lois and in thy mother Eunice, and I am certain that in
thee also.
2Ti 1:13 Hold the form of sound words which thou hast
heard of me: in faith and in the love which is in Christ
Jesus.
2Ti 2:18 Who have erred from the truth, saying that the
resurrection is past already, and have subverted the faith
of some.
2Ti 2:22 But flee thou youthful desires, and pursue
justice, faith, charity and peace with them that call on
the Lord out of a pure heart.
2Ti 3:8 Now as Jannes and Mambres resisted Moses, so
these also resist the truth, men corrupted in mind,
reprobate concerning the faith.
2Ti 3:10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner
of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience,
2Ti 3:15 And because from thy infancy thou hast known
the holy scriptures which can instruct thee to salvation
by the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
2Ti 4:7 I have fought a good fight: I have finished my
course: I have kept the faith.
Tit 1:1 Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus
Christ, according to the faith of the elect of God and the
acknowledging of the truth, which is according to
godliness:
Tit 1:4 To Titus, my beloved son according to the
common faith, grace and peace, from God the Father and
from Christ Jesus our Saviour.
Tit 1:13 This testimony is true. Wherefore, rebuke them
sharply, that they may be sound in the faith:
Tit 2:2 That the aged men be sober, chaste, prudent,
sound in faith, in love, in patience.
Tit 3:15 All that are with me salute thee. Salute them
that love us in the faith. The grace of God be with you all.
Amen.
Phm 1:5 Hearing of thy charity and faith, which thou
hast in the Lord Jesus and towards all the saints:
Phm 1:6 That the communication of thy faith may be
made evident in the acknowledgment of every good work
that is in you in Christ Jesus.
Heb 4:2 For unto us also it hath been declared in like
manner as unto them. But the word of hearing did not
profit them, not being mixed with faith of those things
they heard.
Heb 6:1 Wherefore, leaving the word of the beginning of
Christ, let us go on to things more perfect: not laying
again the foundation of penance from dead works and of
faith towards God,
Heb 6:12 That you become not slothful, but followers of
them who through faith and patience shall inherit the
promises.
Heb 10:22 Let us draw near with a true heart, in fulness
of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil
conscience and our bodies washed with clean water.
Heb 10:38 But my just man liveth by faith: but if he
withdraw himself, he shall not please my soul.
Heb 10:39 But we are not the children of withdrawing
unto perdition, but of faith to the saving of the soul.
Heb 11:1 Now, faith is the substance of things to be
hoped for, the evidence of things that appear not.
1
Heb 11:3 By faith we understand that the world was
framed by the word of God: that from invisible things
visible things might be made.
Heb 11:4 By faith Abel offered to God a sacrifice
exceeding that of Cain, by which he obtained a testimony
that he was just, God giving testimony to his gifts. And
by it he being dead yet speaketh.
Heb 11:5 By faith Henoch was translated that he should
not see death: and he was not found because God had
translated him. For before his translation he had
testimony that he pleased God.
Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please God.
For he that cometh to God must believe that he is: and is
a rewarder to them that seek him.
Heb 11:7 By faith Noe, having received an answer
concerning those things which as yet were not seen,
moved with fear, framed the ark for the saving of his
house: by the which he condemned the world and was
instituted heir of the justice which is by faith.
Heb 11:8 By faith he that is called Abraham obeyed to go
out into a place which he was to receive for an
inheritance. And he went out, not knowing whither he
went.
Heb 11:9 By faith he abode in the land of promise, as in
a strange country, dwelling in cottages, with Isaac and
Jacob, the co-heirs of the same promise.
Heb 11:11 By faith also Sara herself, being barren,
received strength to conceive seed, even past the time of
age: because she believed that he was faithful who had
promised,
Heb 11:13 All these died according to faith, not having
received the promises but beholding them afar off and
saluting them and confessing that they are pilgrims and
strangers on the earth.
Heb 11:17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered
Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up
his only begotten son,
Heb 11:20 By faith also of things to come Isaac blessed
Jacob and Esau.
Heb 11:21 By faith Jacob, dying, blessed each of the sons
of Joseph and adored the top of his rod.
Heb 11:22 By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made
mention of the going out of the children of Israel and
gave commandment concerning his bones.
Heb 11:23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid
three months by his parents: because they saw he was a
comely babe, and they feared not the king's edict.
Heb 11:24 By faith Moses, when he was grown up, Heb 11:31 By faith Rahab the harlot perished not with
denied himself to be the son of Pharao's daughter: the unbelievers, receiving the spies with peace.

Heb 11:27 By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the
fierceness of the king: for he endured, as seeing him that
is invisible.
Heb 11:28 By faith he celebrated the pasch and the
shedding of the blood: that he who destroyed the
firstborn might not touch them.
Heb 11:29 By faith they passed through the Red Sea, as
by dry land: which the Egyptians attempting, were
swallowed up.
Heb 11:30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, by the
going round them seven days.
Heb 11:33 Who by faith conquered kingdoms, wrought
justice, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
Heb 11:39 And all these, being approved by the
testimony of faith, received not the promise:
Heb 12:2 Looking on Jesus, the author and finisher of
faith, who, having joy set before him, endured the cross,
despising the shame, and now sitteth on the right hand
of the throne of God.
Heb 13:7 Remember your prelates who have spoken the
word of God to you: whose faith follow, considering the
end of their conversation,

Faith IN THE NEW CATECHISM OF 1992

Just as there can only be one true God, so there is only one true revealed faith, the doctrines of which are
the most sacred trust for the Church to hand down through all ages by its teaching authority. This
Catechism reaffirms the errors of the Second Vatican Council (1962 1965) that we should have a "sincere
respect for different religions" (#2104), that God uses non Catholic churches "as means of salvation"
(#819).

What is true is that we must respect sincerely held convictions (subjective faith), but not the false content
of these non Catholic sects (objective faith). Baptism makes one a member of Christ and his Mystical Body,
the Catholic Church, but adhering to a false sect cuts one off from this divine life in Christ. God uses what
is still Catholic in these sects "as means" of salvation, the sect itself is at best an occasion, but usually an
obstacle to salvation. Article 121 says that the “Old Covenant (ie: the Old Testament) has never been
revoked” Compare that with the Council of Florence which tells us that to observe the Mosaic Law now
risks eternal salvation (Denz 712)

The Redemptive Work of Christ

This is undermined by the practical denial of the supernatural order, and a grossly exaggerated exultation
of the dignity of human nature. This is why all doctrines unacceptable to the modem world are
ambiguously presented in this book.

This Catechism speaks little of man's duty, which it says derives from his dignity. (#2104)

Rather, his duty derives from God, as also his dignity which is restored by doing his duty

and believing in the Blood of Christ the Redeemer. This Catechism following Vatican 11, pretends to give
rights based upon the dignity of the human person, to every false cult, even for "those who do not five up
to their obligation of seeking the truth and adhering to it." (#2106)

EDITAE SAEPE

 Encyclical of Pope Pius X promulgated on May 26, 1910.

…"When you heard and received from us the word of God, you welcomed it not as the word of man, but, as it truly is, the word of
God, who works in you who have believed."[42]

27. "The word of God is living and efficient and keener than any two-edged sword."[43] It will not only preserve and defend the faith
but also effectively motivate us to do good works since "faith...without works is dead."[44] "For it is not they who hear the Law that
are just in the sight of God; but it is they who follow the Law that will be justified."[45]

28. Now in this also we see the immense difference between true and false reform. The advocates of false reform, imitating the
fickleness of the foolish, generally rush into extremes. They either emphasize faith to such an extent that they neglect good works or
they canonize nature with the excellence of virtue while overlooking the assistance of faith and divine grace. As a matter of fact,
however, merely naturally good acts are only a counterfeit of virtue since they are neither permanent nor sufficient for salvation. The
work of this kind of a reformer cannot restore discipline. On the contrary, it ruins faith and morals.

SYLLABUS CONDEMNING THE ERRORS OF THE MODERNISTS

LAMENTABILI SANE

Pius X July 3, 1907

With truly lamentable results, our age, casting aside all restraint in its search for the ultimate causes of things, frequently pursues
novelties so ardently that it rejects the legacy of the human race. Thus it falls into very serious errors, which are even more serious
when they concern sacred authority, the interpretation of Sacred Scripture, and the principal mysteries of Faith. The fact that many
Catholic writers also go beyond the limits determined by the Fathers and the Church herself is extremely regrettable. In the name of
higher knowledge and historical research (they say), they are looking for that progress of dogmas which is, in reality, nothing but the
corruption of dogmas.

These errors are being daily spread among the faithful. Lest they captivate the faithful's minds and corrupt the purity of their faith, His
Holiness, Pius X, by Divine Providence, Pope, has decided that the chief errors should be noted and condemned by the Office of this
Holy Roman and Universal Inquisition.

2. The Church's interpretation of the Sacred Books is by no means to be rejected; nevertheless, it is subject to the more accurate
judgment and correction of the exegetes.

3. From the ecclesiastical judgments and censures passed against free and more scientific exegesis, one can conclude that the Faith the
Church proposes contradicts history and that Catholic teaching cannot really be reconciled with the true origins of the Christian
religion.

4. Even by dogmatic definitions the Church's magisterium cannot determine the genuine sense of the Sacred Scriptures.

5. Since the deposit of Faith contains only revealed truths, the Church has no right to pass judgment on the assertions of the human
sciences.

11. Divine inspiration does not extend to all of Sacred Scriptures so that it renders its parts, each and every one, free from every error.

12. If he wishes to apply himself usefully to Biblical studies, the exegete must first put aside all preconceived opinions about the
supernatural origin of Sacred Scripture and interpret it the same as any other merely human document.

20. Revelation could be nothing else than the consciousness man acquired of his revelation to God.

21. Revelation, constituting the object of the Catholic faith, was not completed with the Apostles.

22. The dogmas the Church holds out as revealed are not truths which have fallen from heaven. They are an interpretation of religious
facts which the human mind has acquired by laborious effort.

1
31. The doctrine concerning Christ taught by Paul, John, and the Councils of Nicea, Ephesus and Chalcedon is not that which Jesus
taught but that which the Christian conscience conceived concerning Jesus.

38. The doctrine of the expiatory death of Christ is Pauline and not evangelical.

40. The Sacraments have their origin in the fact that the Apostles and their successors, swayed and moved by circumstances and
events, interpreted some idea and intention of Christ.

44. There is nothing to prove that the rite of the Sacrament of Confirmation was employed by the Apostles. The formal distinction of
the two Sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation does not pertain to the history of primitive Christianity.

45. Not everything which Paul narrates concerning the institution of the Eucharist (I Cor. 11:23-25) is to be taken historically.

50. The elders who fulfilled the office of watching over the gatherings of the faithful were instituted by the Apostles as priests or
bishops to provide for the necessary ordering of the increasing communities and not properly for the perpetuation of the Apostolic
mission and power.

60. Christian Doctrine was originally Judaic. Through successive evolutions it became first Pauline, then Joannine, finally Hellenic
and universal.

65. Modern Catholicism can be reconciled with true science only if it is transformed into a non-dogmatic Christianity; that is to say,
into a broad and liberal Protestantism.

The following Thursday, the fourth day of the same month and year, all these matters were accurately reported to our Most Holy Lord,
Pope Pius X. His Holiness approved and confirmed the decree of the Most Eminent Fathers and ordered that each and every one of the
above-listed propositions be held by all as condemned and proscribed.

STPAUL-INDULGENCE May-12-2008 (440 words) xxxi

Pope authorizes granting of indulgences for Pauline year events

By John Thavis
Catholic News Service

VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Catholics who participate in events connected with the 2008-2009 jubilee year of St. Paul can
receive a special indulgence, the Vatican said.

Pope Benedict XVI authorized the granting of a plenary, or full, indulgence in order to highlight the Pauline year and open
the way to the "interior purification" of the faithful during its celebration, a May 10 Vatican decree said.

The decree was signed by U.S. Cardinal J. Francis Stafford, head of the Vatican tribunal that deals with indulgences and
with matters related to the sacrament of penance.

An indulgence is a remission of the temporal punishment a person is due for sins that have been forgiven.

Pope Benedict established the Pauline year to run from June 28, 2008, to June 29, 2009, to mark the approximately
2,000th anniversary of the saint's birth.

The plenary indulgence is being offered to pilgrims who come to Rome, to Catholics who participate in local events
connected to the jubilee year, and to those who may be too ill or otherwise prevented from physical participation.

It can be granted on behalf of the individual petitioner or on behalf of departed souls.

Cardinal Stafford said conditions for the special Pauline year indulgence include the normal requirements set by the
church for all plenary indulgences: that the person goes to confession, receives the Eucharist and prays for the intentions

of the pope.

The decree explained in detail some specific requirements for the plenary indulgence:

-- Those visiting the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls in Rome in the form of a pilgrimage must offer personal prayers
before the Altar of the Most Blessed Sacrament; they must also recite the Our Father and the Creed in front of the Altar of
the Confession, adding invocations to honor Mary and St. Paul.

-- The Catholic faithful in any local church can obtain the indulgence by participating with devotion in a liturgy or other
public event dedicated to St. Paul -- in any sacred place on the opening and closing days of the jubilee year, and on other
days in places designated by the local bishop.

-- Catholics impeded by sickness or other serious cause, as long as they have the intention of fulfilling the other conditions
as soon as possible, can obtain a plenary indulgence by joining spiritually in a jubilee celebration in honor of St. Paul and
offering their prayers and suffering for Christian unity.

The decree said individuals can obtain more than one plenary indulgence during the jubilee year, but not more than one
per day.
