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.
91. 21 Unless the Lord establishes a new church, no one can be saved. This is the meaning of the statement in Matthew 24:22 “Unless those days were cut short no flesh would be saved.”
95. 22 “The one who sat on the throne said, ‘Behold, I am making all things new’; and said to me, ‘Write, because these words are true and faithful’” (Revelation 21:5). This statement in the Book of Revelation means our examining and rejecting the tenets of faith of the modern-day church and God’s revealing and our accepting the tenets of faith of the new church.
