a mandate and a new revelation from on high fulfilling the words of Christ our Lord that that which hath been told into the ear shall be proclaimed upon the housetops

Therefore be it known unto all men now henceforth and for ever that the Holy Catholic Apostolic and Roman Church shall now and for evermore adore Our Divine Lady as being in Herself the Unity of the Trinity, Supreme God, world without end And Further that the faithful shall be bound to receive and acknowledge such Priestesses of Our Divine Mother as the Church shall see fit to ordain and shall render to them honour and obedience not less than hitherto hath been rendered unto men the priests of the Church.


We command that a solemn office be held and a Miserere mei Dea in observance of this Definition be sung in all the churches of the faithful throughout the world and we bestow upon all persons whatsoever who shall attend this office our apostolic benediction.

Given at our Æcumenical Council of London a.d. 1900.
