Assuredly the infinite power of God is not bound by anything, all things obey it as so many passive instruments. Truly the voice of the Apostles, when the Holy Ghost had come down upon them, resounded throughout the world. It was the culmination of an offensive that caused irreparable damage to Modernism. Christ is therefore from God, and the Apostles from Christ, and both according to the will of God….Preaching therefore the word through the countries and cities, when they had proved in the Spirit the first-fruits of their teaching they appointed bishops and deacons for the faithful….They appointed them and then ordained them, so that when they themselves had passed away other tried men should carry on their ministry” (S. Clemens Rom. If it did nor, then it would not have been founded as perpetual, and the end set before it would have been limited to some certain place and to some certain period of time; both of which are contrary to the truth. What had the Son of God in view when he promised the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven to Peter alone? This the wisdom of God requires: for He could not have willed that the faith should be one if He did not provide means sufficient for the preservation of this unity; and this Holy Writ clearly sets forth as We shall presently point out. two natures.

Yea, it is called the kingdom which God has raised up and which will stand for ever. Wherefore what was acknowledged and observed as Christian faith, not by one nation only nor in one age, but by the East and by the West, and through all ages, this Philip, the priest, the Pontifical legate at the Council of Ephesus, no voice being raised in dissent, recalls: “No one can doubt, yea, it is known unto all ages, that St. Peter, the Prince of the Apostles, the pillar of the faith and the ground of the Catholic Church, received the keys of the Kingdom from Our Lord Jesus Christ. The purpose of the Church is not solely teaching - it is ordered also 28, v. 20). For that faith alone is not enough, there And, as We have already stated, this is not to be ascertained by conjecture, but by the certain knowledge of what was done; that is by seeking for and ascertaining what kind of unity in faith has been commanded by Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ commanded His Apostles and their successors to the end of time to teach and rule the nations. liac., ad eundem, n. 14). unity of the faith. As He took to Himself a mortal body, which He gave to suffering and death in order to pay the price of man’s redemption, so also He has one mystical body in which and through which He renders men partakers of holiness and of eternal salvation. But how could all this be realized in the Apostles alone, placed as they were under the universal law of dissolution by death? Eccl., n. 4). So much so, that he who would place another chair against that one chair, would be a schismatic and a sinner” (De Schism. It must be the necessary condition of stability and strength.

The connection and union of both elements is as absolutely necessary to the true Church as the intimate union of the soul and body is to human nature. And as it is bound to defend the truth of faith beyond all others, so also if any question should arise concerning the faith it must be determined by its judgment” (Actin iv.). This doctrine will help Catholics to adhere to their Bishops and to the ad Michael. “For the pronouncement of Our Lord Jesus Christ saying: ‘Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church,’ &c., cannot be passed over. Totally Faithful to the Sacred Deposit of Faith entrusted to the Holy See in Rome, we promote and defend Authentic Catholic Mass, Doctrine, and Moral Teaching. “By whom (Jesus Christ) we have received grace and Apostleship for obedience to the faith in all nations for His name” (Rom. iv., n. 7). to the sanctification of souls.

And, as in the natural order He does not usually give full perfection except by means of man’s work and action, so also He makes use of human aid for that which lies beyond the limits of nature, that is to say, for the sanctification and salvation of souls. Unity, characteristic of the Church founded by Christ, has a strong Nor is it improbable that ignorance may be dispelled by the consideration; that false ideas and prejudices may be dissipated from the minds chiefly of those who find themselves in error without fault of theirs; and that even a love for the Church may be stirred up in the souls of men, like unto that charity wherewith Christ loved and united himself to that spouse redeemed by His precious blood. And as the Bishops, each in his own district, command with real power not only individuals but the whole community, so the Roman pontiffs, whose jurisdiction extends to the whole Christian commonwealth, must have all its parts, even taken collectively, subject and obedient to their authority. What similarity is there between a dead and a living body? It is only by this power of jurisdiction that nations and commonwealths are held together. The expression indeed is ambiguous, as if the rock and the Church were one and the same. Wherefore Jesus Christ bade all men, present and future, follow Him as their leader and Saviour; and this, not merely as individuals, but as forming a society, organized and united in mind. The true Church of Christ is one, as Scripture shows. The need of this divinely instituted means for the preservation of unity, about which we speak is urged by St. Paul in his epistle to the Ephesians. In sending them, Christ conferred on Agreement and union of minds is the necessary foundation of this perfect concord amongst men, from which concurrence of wills and similarity of action are the natural results. They have flocks consigned to them, one to each; to thee all the flocks are confided as one flock to one shepherd, and not alone the sheep, but the shepherds. 4, ad q. It is consequently the office of St. Peter to support the Church, and to guard it in all its strength and indestructible unity. 5, n. I). In like manner were condemned all authors of heretical tenets who followed them in subsequent ages. . The disciples Hence as the Apostles and Disciples were bound to obey Christ, so also those whom the Apostles taught were, by God’s command, bound to obey them. St. Augustine notes that other heresies may spring up, to a single one of which, should any one give his assent, he is by the very fact cut off from Catholic unity. xii. x., nn. secundum Lucam, lib. The head, Christ: from whom the whole body, being compacted and fitly jointed together, by what every joint supplieth according to the operation in the measure of every part” (Eph. ii., cap.

Nor does it beget any confusion in the administration that Christians are bound to obey a twofold authority. What is cut away from the mother cannot live or breathe apart” (Ibid.). This He clearly resolved to do: this He actually did. One either accepts the faith entirely or stops having faith, for 3). is also needed the worship, the sacraments, and the legislation, all found The practice of the Church has always been the same, as is shown by the unanimous teaching of the Fathers, who were wont to hold as outside Catholic communion, and alien to the Church, whoever would recede in the least degree from any point of doctrine proposed by her authoritative Magisterium. But since the Church is such by divine will and constitution, such it must uniformly remain to the end of time. So there is in the Church, by the will of Christ, an authentic and In his 1896 Encyclical, Satis Cognitum (On the Unity of the Church), Leo XIII wrote: Every Revealed Truth, without Exception, Must be Accepted. They are the intellectual product of Bro.

Do the sheep when they are all assembled together rule and guide the shepherd? But the powers needed for this purpose were given by God to For this reason the Church is so often called in Holy Writ a body, and even the body of Christ – “Now you are the body of Christ” (I Cor. If we consider the chief end of His Church and the proximate efficient causes of salvation, it is undoubtedly spiritual; but in regard to those who constitute it, and to the things which lead to these spiritual gifts, it is external and necessarily visible. to justify the existence of more than one Church it would be necessary to go outside this world, and to create a new and unheard – of race of men.

From a variety of interpretations a variety of beliefs is necessarily begotten; hence come controversies, dissensions and wranglings such as have arisen in the past, even in the first ages of the Church. He ordered the nations to accept their teaching and obey their authority. They frequently call him “the Prince of the College of the Disciples; the Prince of the holy Apostles; the leader of that choir; the mouthpiece of all the Apostles; the head of that family; the ruler of the whole world; the first of the Apostles; the safeguard of the Church.” In this sense St. Bernard writes as follows to Pope Eugenius: “Who art thou? “The Head and the body are Christ wholly and entirely. iv., 14): and this he teaches is to be observed, not for a time only-“but until we all meet in the unity of faith…unto the measure of the age of the fulness of Christ” (13). in Evang. Hence He commands that the teaching of the Apostles should be religiously accepted and piously kept as if it were His own – “He who hears you hears Me, he who despises you despises Me” (Luke x., 16). Pope Leo XIII - 1896 To Our Venerable Brethren, the Patriarchs, Primates, Archbishops, Bishops, and other Ordinaries in Peace and Communion with the Apostolic See. “There is one God, and one Christ; and His Church is one and the faith is one; and one the people, joined together in the solid unity of the body in the bond of concord. 16:18-20; John 21:15-17) upon St. Peter as head of the Christian Church. But He, indeed, Who made this one Church, also gave it unity, that is, He made it such that all who are to belong to it must be united by the closest bonds, so as to form one society, one kingdom, one body – “one body and one spirit as you are called in one hope of your calling (Eph. “The safety of the Church depends on the dignity of the chief priest, to whom if an extraordinary and supreme power is not given, there are as many schisms to be expected in the Church as there are priests” (S. Hieronymus, Dialog, contra Luciferianos, n. 9). iii., 6) – We earnestly pray that He will graciously grant Us the power of bringing conviction home to the minds of men. Imperat.) This book includes thirty of his most well know encyclicals and letters. “Who is she that cometh forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army set in battle array?” O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to Thee. In his encyclical, Satis cognitum,(2) Pope Leo XIII refers to Matthew, chapter 16, asserting the jurisdiction and authority of the Pope. But, as we have already said, the Apostolic mission was not destined to die with the Apostles themselves, or to come to an end in the course of time, since it was intended for the people at large and instituted for the salvation of the human race. 42, 44). v., 25). Jedność w wierze. It is of the greatest importance and indeed of absolute necessity, as to which many are deceived, that the nature and character of this unity should be recognized. capp. Irenaeus writes of heretics as follows: “Admitting the sacred Scriptures they distort the interpretations” (Lib. The Church, founded on these principles and mindful of her office, has done nothing with greater zeal and endeavor than she has displayed in … in the whole Church. When about to ascend into heaven He sends His Apostles in virtue of the same power by which He had been sent from the Father; and he charges them to spread abroad and propagate His teaching. Venerable Brethren, Health, and Benediction. . Faith, as the Church teaches, is “that supernatural virtue by which, through the help of God and through the assistance of His grace, we believe what he has revealed to be true, not on account of the intrinsic truth perceived by the natural light of reason, but because of the authority of God Himself, the Revealer, who can neither deceive nor be deceived” (Conc. In which judgment St. John Chrysostom concurs: “I say and protest (he writes) that it is as wrong to divide the Church as to fall into heresy” (Hom. x., 17). He willed and ordered, under the gravest penalties, that its teachings should be received as if they were His own. the faithful to accept all the doctrine of the Apostles. So Jesus Christ has perpetuated His mission in the Catholic The ecumenical movement started among the Protestants in the late 19th century and was condemned by the Catholic Church. “When he heard `thou art a rock,’ he was ennobled by the announcement. Upon completing a thorough & prayerful read of the encyclical letter Satis Cognitum by Pope Leo XIII, one will little wonder why this venerable Pontiff known as "A Light in the Heavens" (indeed, St. Malachy was prophetic.) We have no wish to quote every available declaration; but it is well to recall the formula of faith which Michael Paleologus professed in the Second Council of Lyons: “The same holy Roman Church possesses the sovereign and plenary primacy and authority over the whole Catholic Church, which, truly and humbly, it acknowledges to have received together with the plenitude of power from the Lord Himself, in the person of St. Peter, the Prince or Head of the Apostles, of whom the Roman Pontiff is the successor. 12. It happens that, as in the human body, some member may be cut off – a hand, a finger, a foot. Jesus Christ, therefore, appointed Peter to be that head of the Church; and He also determined that the authority instituted in perpetuity for the salvation of all should be inherited by His successors, in whom the same permanent authority of Peter himself should continue. Thou art the Prince of Bishops and the heir of the Apostles. exterior at the same time. The Magisterium of the Church is, then, the external principle of There must needs be also the fitting and devout worship of God, which is to be found chiefly in the divine Sacrifice and in the dispensation of the Sacraments, as well as salutary laws and discipline. xvii., n. 35). “See what you must beware of – see what you must avoid – see what you must dread. Divinum illud munus: On the Holy Spirit: 9 May 1897 66. If those about to come back to their most loving Mother (not yet fully known, or culpably abandoned) should perceive that their return involves, not indeed the shedding of their blood (at which price nevertheless the Church was bought by Jesus Christ), but some lesser trouble and labour, let them clearly understand that this burden has been laid on them not by the will of man but by the will and command of God. “Should anyone say that Christ is the one head and the one shepherd, the one spouse of the one Church, he does not give an adequate reply. Our mission is to “Restore All Things to Christ!”, in continuing the legacy of Pope St. Pius X under the patronage of the Blessed Virgin Mary. That unity of the Church For this reason Christ, speaking of the mystical edifice, mentions only one Church, which he calls His own-“I will build my church;” any other Church except this one, since it has not been founded by Christ, cannot be the true Church. Does the soul follow the amputated member? Chrystus Głową Kościoła. “The Church,” he says, “cannot be divided into parts by the separation and cutting asunder of its members. “The unity of the Church is manifested in the mutual connection or communication of its members, and likewise in the relation of all the members of the Church to one head” (St. Thomas, 2a 2ae, 9, xxxix., a. I). xii., 2) feel Our heart fired by His charity. The Apostles received a mission to teach by visible and audible signs, and they discharged their mission only by words and acts which certainly appealed to the senses. Therefore the Church is a society divine in its origin, supernatural in its end and in means proximately adapted to the attainment of that end; but it is a human community inasmuch as it is composed of men. On the other hand, the submission of the faithful to two authorities, There are, it is true, other gatekeepers of heaven and to pastors of flocks, but thou are so much the more glorious as thou bast inherited a different and more glorious name than all the rest. The physical Christ the Head is the principle of the “Why has He shed His blood? The Head is the only-begotten son of God, the body is His Church; the bridegroom and the bride, two in one flesh. v., Epist. ii., 16) commands Peter “to confirm his brethren.”. iii., cap. One cannot have Christ as his father who does not have the Church For the Apostles consecrated bishops, and each one appointed those who were to succeed them immediately “in the ministry of the word.”. So that their voices falling upon the ears of those who heard them begot faith in souls-“Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the words of Christ” (Rom. xx). But it is obvious that nothing can be communicated amongst men save by means of external things which the senses can perceive. “We read that the Roman Pontiff has pronounced judgments on the prelates of all the churches; we do not read that anybody has pronounced sentence on him” (Hadrianus ii., in Allocutione iii., ad Synodum Romanum an. liv., n. 19). In this same sense He says: “Whatsoever thou shall bind upon earth it shall be bound also in Heaven, and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth it shall be loosed also in Heaven.” This metaphorical expression of binding and loosing indicates the power of making laws, of judging and of punishing; and the power is said to be of such amplitude and force that God will ratify whatever is decreed by it. And with the same yearning Our soul goes out to those whom the foul breath of irreligion has not entirely corrupted, and who at least seek to have the true God, the Creator of Heaven and earth, as their Father. The great priest – the high priest. Finally it is the body of Christ – that is, of course, His mystical body, but a body living and duly organized and composed of many members; members indeed which have not all the same functions, but which, united one to the other, are kept bound together by the guidance and authority of the head. No one, therefore, unless in communion with Peter can share in his authority, since it is absurd to imagine that he who is outside can command in the Church. And so dispersed members, separated one from the other, cannot be united with one and the same head. “As the Father sent Me so also I send you” (John xx., 21). 175-176). Who is unaware of the many and evident testimonies of the holy Fathers which exist to this effect? Ambrose. How could he fulfil this office without the power of commanding, forbidding, and judging, which is properly called jurisdiction? “But I have asked for thee that thy faith fail not” (Luke xxii., 32), and He furthermore commanded him to impart light and strength to his brethren as often as the need should arise: “Confirm thy brethren” (Ibid.). Eccl., cap. Hence the teaching of Cyprian, that heresy and schism arise and are begotten from the fact that due obedience is refused to the supreme authority. If it could in any way be false, an evident contradiction follows; for then God Himself would be the author of error in man. As often, therefore, as it is declared on the authority of this teaching that this or that is contained in the deposit of divine revelation, it must be believed by every one as true. But in judging and determining the nature of this unity many have erred in various ways. 8. Traditional Latin Mass & Roman Catholic Liturgical Calendar for 2020: Grant, we Beseech Thee, Almighty God, that through the intercession of St. Michael the Archangel, the peace and order and beauty of the Latin Tridentine Mass may be restored to our Churches. The Church is integrated by one only community, xvi., 18). The unity of the Church is that which Christ 14. Wherefore Optatus of Milevis blamed the Donatists for this reason: “Against which ages (of hell) we read that Peter received the saving keys, that is to say, our prince, to whom it was said by Christ: `To thee will I give the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and the gates of Hell shall not conquer them.’ Whence is it therefore that you strive to obtain for yourselves the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven-you who fight against the chair of Peter?” (Lib. 869, Cf. Satis Cognitum – On the Unity of the Church, by Pope Leo XIII, 29 June 1896; Spectata Fides – On Christian Education, by Pope Leo XIII, 27 November 1885; Spesse Volte – On the Suppression of Catholic Institutions, by Pope Leo XIII, 5 August 1898; Superiore Anno – On The Recitation Of The Rosary, by Pope Leo XIII, 30 August 1884 In this wise, and on this principle, the Church was begotten. For this I know is the rock on which the Church is built” (Ep. There are other powers in the Church, those of the Apostles and their The "excommunications," contrary to law, of Archbishop Lefebvre (1989) and of the "Hawaii Six" (1 … For to the Apostles and their legitimate successors alone these words have reference: “Going into the whole world preach the Gospel.” “Baptizing them.” “Do this in commemoration of Me.” “Whose sins you shall forgive they are forgiven them.” And in like manner He ordered the Apostles only and those who should lawfully succeed them to feed – that is to govern with authority – all Christian souls. body of the Bishops has no authority without the Pope. Body of Christ. xiv., 16-17). The pronouncement of the Council of Chalcedon on the same matter is present to the minds of all: “Peter has spoken through Leo” (Actio ii. It would, for this very reason, be subject to various and contradictory interpretations. Given at St. Peter’s, Rome, the 29th day of June, in the year 1896, and the nineteenth of our Pontificate. In this Peter, the head of all the Apostles (hence his name Cephas), has sat; in which chair alone unity was to be preserved for all, lest any of the other apostles should claim anything as exclusively his own. Vat., Sess. them His own power, gave them the means needed to exercise it, and ordered be conserved by another external principle determined by the Savior. This the Divine Author impressed on it as a lasting sign of truth and of unconquerable strength. For it is the nature and object of a foundation to support the unity of the whole edifice and to give stability to it, rather than to each component part; and in the present case this is much more applicable, since Christ the Lord wished that by the strength and solidity of the foundation the gates of hell should be prevented from prevailing against the Church. We should believe not otherwise than has been handed down by the tradition of the Church of God” (Vetus Interpretatio Commentariorum in Matt. Wherefore when Christ promised to give to Peter the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, he promised to give him power and authority over the Church. Grace is produced in the souls of the faithful by exterior means consisting of sacraments administered with special rites, and celebrated by ministers specifically chosen for this function. . All these must be found in the Church, since it continues the mission of the Saviour for ever. Wherefore, by the will of its Founder, it is necessary that this Church should be one in all lands and at all times. We see it in truth propagated, and, as it were, delivered from hand to hand. Nay more: they likewise required their successors to choose fitting men, to endow them with like authority, and to confide to them the office and mission of teaching. It has ever been unquestionably the office of the Roman Pontiffs to ratify or to reject the decrees of Councils. Jak Chrystus utworzył swój Kościół. Such passages certainly need no interpreter; they speak clearly enough for themselves. This power over the Episcopal College to which we refer, and which is clearly set forth in Holy Writ, has ever been acknowledged and attested by the Church, as is clear from the teaching of General Councils. “It is not congruous that two superiors with equal authority should be placed over the same flock; but that two, one of whom is higher than the other, should be placed over the same people is not incongruous. He has cut himself off from the promises of the Church, and he who leaves the Church of Christ cannot arrive at the rewards of Christ….He who observes not this unity observes not the law of God, holds not the faith of the Father and the Son, clings not to life and salvation” (S. Cyprianus, De Cath. their successors. i., 22-23). Mother Angelica. The Church, therefore, is bound to communicate without stint to all men, and to transmit through all ages, the salvation effected by Jesus Christ, and the blessings flowing there from. 19. The nature of this supreme authority, which all Christians are bound to obey, can be ascertained only by finding out what was the evident and positive will of Christ. Satis cognitum: On the Unity of the Church: 29 June 1896 64. xxviii., 18-19-20). These can indeed be overcome by the assaults of the powers of hell, as in point of fact has befallen some of them. And Augustine: “Heresies have arisen, and certain perverse views ensnaring souls and precipitating them into the abyss only when the Scriptures, good in themselves, are not properly understood” (In Evang. That supreme authority is Peter and his successors, who hold the Church The Church of Christ, therefore, is one and the same for ever; those who leave it depart from the will and command of Christ, the Lord – leaving the path of salvation they enter on that of perdition.
