2. Roman Catholic Teachings Concerning Justification, Taken from the Council of Trent
In the papal bull issued by the Roman pope Pius IV on November 13, 1564, we read the following:
I embrace and accept each and every thing that has been defined and declared by the holy Council of Trent concerning original sin and justification.
41. 7 After we make this change, the faith we then acknowledge and accept is a faith that is truly effective for our salvation — a faith in one God, united to good works.
6. Concerning free choice:
(a) Free choice was by no means extinguished by Adam’s sin, but was attenuated in its powers and bent down (Session 6, chapter 1).
(b) If any say that our free choice, once it is moved and stirred by God, does not cooperate at all through giving assent to God’s stirring and calling, in order to dispose and prepare us for obtaining the grace of justification, or that even if it wants to, it cannot refuse its consent, but, like something inanimate, does nothing whatever and is merely passive, let them be anathema (Session 6, canon 4).
