L'Eglise Aristotelicienne Romaine The Roman and Aristotelic Church

[Adonnis]

Brothers,

I bring to the attention of the Translators' Team the recently approved Pontifical Indult XXVIII.

Two slight changes have been made in Canon Law regarding Baptism and Ordination.



Citation:

........ Pontifical Indult XXVIII About the age required for receiving the Sacraments of Baptism and Ordination To the Faithfuls, Clerics and Prelats of the Aristotelian Community, The Sacred College of the Cardinals, empowered to modify the Canon Law, in accordance with Article 1 and Article 1.3 of Part IV of the Book De Ecclesiae Dei fundis, having already established in the past that both men and women reach the age of majority at the age of fourteen, decided to promote the modification, by means of an Indult, of article 3 of Part I and the Material Cause of Part IV of the Book Ad mundi salutem per sanctificationem, establishing the age of 14 (fourteen) as the initial mark of the age of majority required to receive the Sacrament of Baptism, without the need for future confirmation, and to receive the Sacrament of Ordination. Therefore, We, the Cardinals of the Holy Aristotelian, Universal and Roman Church, reunited in our Sacred College, in the name of His Holiness Sixtus IV, Sovereign Pontiff and Pope of the Universal Church, under the blessings of God and the watchful eye of the Prophets, have ruled and proclaimed, and by our present perpetual and definitive indult, declare, rule and proclaim the following Canons, regarding the age required for receiving the sacraments of Baptism and Ordination: Citation: **♢ Original Canon ♢ Part I: The Sacrament of Baptism (...) Article 3: Only a believer who understands and assimilates the basic credo may receive the sacrament of baptism (not applicable to Can. 1-I-A-5). **♢ Modified Canon ♢ Part I: The Sacrament of Baptism (...) Article 3: Only a believer, with an age of 14 years or more, who understands and assimilates the basic credo may receive the sacrament of baptism (not applicable to Can. 1-I-A-5). Citation: **♢ Original Canon ♢ Part IV: The Sacrament of Ordination, or Elevation to the Priesthood The material cause = all faithful who want to serve the Church and God above all. **♢ Modified Canon ♢ Part IV: The Sacrament of Ordination, or Elevation to the Priesthood The material cause = all faithful, with an age of 14 years or more, who want to serve the Church and God above all.
