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.
17. 1 The churches that separated from Roman Catholicism during the Reformation disagree with each other on many points of theology, but there are four points on which they all agree: there is a trinity of persons in the Divine; original sin came from Adam; Christ’s merit is assigned to us; and we are justified by faith alone.
58. 13 The tenets of the church of today are extremely difficult to learn and retain. They cannot be preached or taught without a great deal of restraint and caution to keep them from appearing in their naked state, since true reason would not recognize or accept them.
