PROP. XVI. It is a fundamental truth in the Catholic religion, that no licence can be given to men to lie, to forswear, or perjure themselves; to massacre their neighbours, or disturb their country , on pretence of promoting the Catholic cause or religion : furthermore they believe, that all pardons or dispensations granted, or pretended to be granted, in order to such ends or designs, could have no other validity or effect, than to add sacrilege and blasphemy to the above crimes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |

PROP. II. It is an article of Catholic belief, that in the most holy Sacrament of the Eucharist, there is truly and really contained the Body of Christ, which was delivered for us, and his blood which was shed for the remission of sins: the substance of the bread and wine being, by the power of God, changed into the substance of his blessed body and blood; the species or appearances of bread and wine, by the will of the same God, remaining as they were. This change has been properly called Transubstantiation. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |
