L'Eglise Aristotelicienne Romaine The Roman and Aristotelic Church

[Cinead]

The basilica breathed—stone and incense and the low burn of a thousand prayers. Kalixtus’ summons unfurled through nave and transept like a dark tide.

“Cinead of Twynholm… I summon you before the Throne of Titus.”

He rose. A simple Scotsman in a sea of scarlet and gold, he smoothed the edge of his black mozzetta with a workman’s care, drew one steady breath, and stepped into the aisle. The floor beneath him held the history of Rome; his boots remembered peat and rain. He bowed toward the High Altar, then toward the Holy Father, and moved forward with the measured pace that years of service had taught him: nothing hurried where eternity was near.

“Adsum.”

The light from the oculus found the incense and made a river of it. He passed between its bright currents until the throne of Sixtus stood before him. There he knelt, right knee to marble, head bowed, hands joined.

[Kalixtus]

His eyes rested on Cinead, and the cardinal spoke in the dignified manner of his melodious, dark voice:

Now it is time to take your oath, so speak carefully:

[Cinead]

Hearing the words of the oath, Cinead repeats them with intent.

Ego Cinadio, Sanctæ Romanæ Ecclesiæ Cardinalis Tuinelmico, promitto et iuro, me ab hac hora deinceps, quamdiu vixero, fidelm Prophetis eorumque Evangelio atque oboedientem beato Tito sanctaeque Apostolicae Romanae Ecclesiae ac Summo Pontifici Sixto eiusque successoribus legitimeque electis constanter fore. Ita me Deus Omnipotens adjuvet.

[Kalixtus]

Kalixtus smiled and, after exchanging a brief glance with His Holiness, called the next person before the throne.

Next on the list is, his melodic, dark voice echoes through the cathedral:

Ettore Asburgo D'Argovia

I summon you before the Throne of Titus.

[Ettore_Asburgo_D'Argovia]

The prelate from the Euganean Venice rose at once, with vigorous impetus, as if propelled by some arcane force, yet preserving his ingenuously fervent manner. Having reached the foot of Tito’s Throne, he bowed with reverent deference before the Supreme Guide of the True Faith and proclaimed in a full voice.

Adsum!

[Kalixtus]

Now it is time to take your oath, so speak carefully:

[Ettore_Asburgo_D'Argovia]

Having listened to the ritual formula, Father Ettore himself then swore the oath.

Ego Hectori, Sanctæ Romanæ Ecclesiæ Cardinalis Habsburgensi Argoviae, promitto et iuro, me ab hac hora deinceps, quamdiu vixero, fidelm Prophetis eorumque Evangelio atque oboedientem beato Tito sanctaeque Apostolicae Romanae Ecclesiae ac Summo Pontifici Sixto eiusque successoribus legitimeque electis constanter fore.

After all, we came to the final person that is in need to went in front of the Throne:

Next on the list is, his melodic, dark voice echoes through the cathedral:
