Abjuration
I, ______________________________, on this day of ________________, in the city, state, and country of ___________, ______________, and ________________________, having before my eyes the holy Gospels, which I touch with my hand, and knowing that no one can be saved without that faith which the Holy, Catholic, apostolic, and Roman Church holds, believes, and teaches, against which I grieve that I have greatly erred, inasmuch as, having been outside that Church, I have held, believed, and/or was in communion with those who held and believed doctrines opposed to her teaching. I now, enlightened by the grace of God, profess that I believe the One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic, and Roman Church to be the one true Church established on earth by our Divine Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to which I submit myself with my whole heart. I firmly believe all the articles that she proposes to my belief, I reject and condemn all that she rejects and condemns, and I am ready to observe all she commands me.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
1. I reject and denounce the Second Vatican Council as a non-Catholic, apostate, invalid council. I reject and denounce as heretical or apostate any and all patriarchs, cardinals, archbishops, and bishops who signed the docuмents of Vatican II, at which point they all lost their offices, assuming they held the offices to begin with and had not lost it previously to signing the Vatican II docuмents.
1. Note/Explanation: Some so-called “Archbishops”, “Cardinals”, etc. never were actual Archbishops or Cardinals because they were manifest heretics prior to being appointed to office. Others who were occult heretics retained their offices, but lost them once they became manifest and notorious heretics.
2. I reject and denounce the Novus Ordo sect (the Vatican II Sect, the Conciliar Church, etc.) as a non-Catholic, apostate, schismatic sect. Therefore, I reject and denounce as apostate the SSPX, FSSP, ICK, IGS, SSJV, SSCR, SSP, SVM, OLSM, Opus Dei, and all other groups and persons in communion with the Novus Ordo sect. I reject and denounce all the heresies and crimes of the Novus Ordo-Vatican II sect and the heresies and crimes of those in communion with this sect.
3. I reject and denounce Angelo Roncalli, Giovanni Montini, Albino Luciani, Karol Wojtyla, Joseph Ratzinger, and all future leaders of the Novus Ordo sect as non-Catholic, heretical, and apostate anti-popes. I reject and denounce all the heresies and crimes of the Novus Ordo Antipopes.
3. Note/Explanation: An invalid line of antipopes can not produce a true, valid pope. Even if the man “elected” “pope” repented, abjured, and entered the Catholic Church, that wouldn’t make him pope.
4. I reject as invalid, whether I agree with them or not, any “beatification”, “canonization”, “encyclical”, “constitution”, and all other papal acts made by Angelo Roncalli, Giovanni Montini, Albino Luciani, Karol Wojtyla, Joseph Ratzinger, and all future leaders of the Novus Ordo sect.
4. Note/Explanation: An antipope has no papal authority and can not canonize or beatify anyone. Accepting the “beatification” or “canonization” of the Novus Ordo sect would be akin to accepting the “saints” of the Anglicans or the Eastern Schismatics. (This is not to imply that all of the “canonizations” of the Novus Ordo sect were of non-Catholics.) Also, any encyclical, apostolic constitution, dogmatic proclamation, etc. made by a false successor to Peter is invalid. Likewise, any man appointed “Archbishop”, “Cardinal”, etc. by an antipope is not a true Archbishop, Cardinal, etc.
5. From October 29, 1951 onward, I reject communion with Pope Pius XII, who on that date publicly preached the legitimacy of “Natural” Family Prevention, as well as “Baptism of Desire”, thus becoming a manifest heretic and losing his office.
6. I reject as invalid, whether I agree with them or not, any “beatification”, “canonization”, “encyclical”, “constitution”, and all other papal acts made by Pius XII that took place after the date of October 29, 1951.
6. Note/Explanation: See #4 note/explanation above.
7. I believe in the dogma that a heretic places himself outside of the Church. Therefore, I profess that it is a dogmatic fact that a manifest heretic is not papable and can not be elected to the papacy. Likewise, I profess that a true pope who becomes a manifest heretic ceases to be pope. Therefore, I reject and denounce the notion that the invalidity of the elections of the Novus Ordo anti-popes is just a mere opinion, and not a dogmatic fact. Likewise, I reject and denounce the notion that the vacancy of the See of Peter since October 29, 1951 is a mere opinion, and not a dogmatic fact.
7. Note/Explanation: This is not to imply that the See of Peter will remain vacant forever, although it very well may. There may or may not be another pope of the Catholic Church. But one must hold that the vacancy of the See of Peter from the time of October 29, 1951 until the next pope reigns, or until Our Lord returns to earth, is a dogmatic fact, and not a mere opinion.
8. I reject and denounce the notion that “Cardinal” Siri was ever a legitimate Roman Pontiff. He was not papable since he lost his office and ceased to be Cardinal when he submitted to Eugene Pacelli following his October 29, 1951 allocution to midwives.
8. Note/Explanation: Even if “Cardinal” Siri were papable (which he wasn‘t), and even if he was validly elected (which he wasn‘t), he would have ceased to be pope the moment he submitted to Antipope Angelo Roncalli.
9. I reject and denounce the non-Catholic Novus Ordo Missae (“Mass of Paul VI”) as intrinsically heretical, intrinsically sacrilegious, and intrinsically irreverent. I believe that the Novus Ordo Missae is invalid when the mystery of faith is erroneously translated “for all” instead of “for many”. I believe that the Novus Ordo Rite of Ordination and Episcopal Consecration are invalid.
10. I reject and denounce as schismatic all those who were illegally consecrated or ordained, all those persons and groups who condone it, and all those persons and groups who support or promote, illegal priests and bishops. Therefore, I reject and denounce the following non-Catholic priests and bishops, as well as any unrepentant and unabjured man consecrated or ordained by them: Bishop Marcel Lefebvre, Bishop Pierre Martin Thuc, Bishop Antonio de Castro Meyer, Bishop Francis Schuckardt, Bishop Guerard des Lauriers, Bishop Moises Carmona, Bishop George Musey, Bishop Jean Laborie, Bishop Bernard Fellay, Bishop Richard Williamson, Bishop Bernard Tissier De Mallerais, Bishop Alfonso de Galaretta, Bishop Mark Pivarunas, Bishop Robert McKenna., Bishop Clarence Kelly, Bishop Thom Joseph-Francis Sebastian, Bishop Patrick C. Taylor, Bishop Louis Vezelis, and Bishop Dennis McCormack.
11. I presume to be valid all those bishops and priests who are a part of the Lefebvre-lineage and Thuc-lineage.
11. Note/Explanation: Unless there is solid evidence that there was a lack of form, matter, or intention, then they must be presumed to be valid priests and bishops. Illegal, yes. Schismatic, yes. Invalid, no.
12. I reject and denounce as schismatic and heretical the Society of Saint Pius V (SSPV), the Religious Congregation of Mary Immaculate Queen (CMRI), the Most Holy Family Monastery (MHFM), and Mary’s Little Remnant (MLR). I reject and denounce all the heresies and crimes of the SSPV, CMRI, MHFM, and MLR.
13. I reject and denounce all non-Catholic religions, including Protestantism, Eastern Schismaticism, Post-Temple Judaism, Mohammedanism, and Paganism. I reject and condemn the ʝʊdɛօ-Luciferian cult of Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ, Carbonari, Illuminati, Skull & Bones, and all other secret societies.
14. I reject and denounce Satanism, sorcery, wizardry, witchcraft, and superstition. Therefore, I reject and denounce the usage or consultation of Ouija boards, tarot cards, horoscopes, palm-readers, fortune-tellers, magic, spells, voodoo, etc.
15. I reject and denounce all the false gods and false prophets of non-Catholic cults and religions. I reject and denounce as blasphemy and apostasy the notion that the Triune God of the Holy Catholic Church is not the One and Only True God. I believe that all non-Catholics worship false gods -- devils -- either implicitly or explicitly.
16. I reject and denounce the blasphemous heresy which states that the Jєωs and Mohammedans worship the One True God. I reject and denounce as apostates anyone who says they do.
17. I reject and denounce the heresy which states that the god of the Jєωs and Mohammedans is the One True God who will judge mankind on the last day. I believe Jesus Christ will be our judge on the last day.
18. I reject and denounce the heresy which states that the Old Covenant is still valid and salvific for the Jєωs.
19. I believe that the Jєωs are under a double curse. The first being the curse of original sin, which all men are born with. I believe that the Jєωs are deicides, inheriting the guilt of the murder of Our Lord, which is the second curse.
20. I reject and denounce the heresy which states that the Jєωs are not rejected by God. I reject and denounce the heresy which states that the Jєωs are not under the wrath of God.
21. I reject and denounce the heresy of religious liberty, which states that a person has a God-given right to believe in and practice a false religion. I reject and denounce the notion that the state should be, or that the state has a God-given right to be, separated from the Church.
22. I reject and denounce the heresy of collegiality, which states that the body of bishops, together with the pope, has supreme authority over the Church.
23. I reject and denounce the heresy of false ecuмenism, which states that one may meet with, or engage in dialogue with, non-Catholic sects and persons without any intention of denouncing or converting them. I reject and denounce the heresy that Catholics can, or should, have respect for false gods and religions. I reject and denounce the heresy which states that one may attend the mass of, receive the sacraments from, or pray in communion with, notorious heretics and/or schismatics. I reject and denounce the heresy which states that one may be in religious communion with heretics and schismatics.
24. I reject and denounce the notion that one may attend, even passively, non-Catholic (Protestant, Eastern Schismatic, Novus Ordo, etc.) services or ceremonies. I reject and denounce the notion that non-Catholics may receive the Last Rites or the Blessed Sacrament.
25. I reject and denounce the heresy which states that the Holy Ghost uses non-Catholic sects as a means of salvation.
26. I reject and denounce the heresy of Universalism (Universal Salvation), which states that all souls will be reconciled with God and enter heaven.
27. I reject and denounce the heresy which states that one can be in “partial” communion, or “partially” united to the Church of Christ (Catholic Church). I reject and denounce the heresy which states that heretics or schismatics are united to the Catholic Church.
28. I reject and denounce the heresy which states that God’s public revelation was completed with the crucifixion, or some time other than the death of the last apostle.
29. I reject and denounce the heresy which states that the Catholic Church lacks unity.
30. I reject and denounce the heresy which states that dogma can “evolve” or change it’s meaning.
31. I reject and denounce the heresy which states that we don’t know what types of people go to heaven, or what types of people go to hell.
32. I reject and denounce the heresy which states that those who die in a state of mortal sin do not go to the hell of the damned to burn in everlasting fire.
33. I reject and denounce the heresy which states that the hell of the damned is a mere “state of being” and not an actual place with real fires.
34. I reject and denounce the heresy which states that hell is not eternal.
35. I reject and denounce the heresy which states that those who die with the sole guilt of original sin go to heaven, or some place other than hell.

37. I reject and denounce the heresy which states that there is an eternal place where souls reside other than heaven and hell.
38. I believe that marriage is indissolvable until death.
39. I believe that the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the Church.
40. I believe that a wife’s God-given role is a homemaker.
41. I believe that the primary end of marriage is the procreation and education of children. I believe that the secondary ends of marriage must always remain subordinate to the primary end.
42. I reject and denounce the notion that sɛҳuąƖ pleasure is intrinsically evil.
43. I reject and denounce “Natural” Family Prevention as mortally sinful birth control, as well as a heresy that denies the primary end of marriage and the subordination of secondary ends.
44. Removed for reasons of decency.
45. I reject and denounce any and all women who wear pants, shorts, mini skirts, belly shirts, tank tops, halter tops, spaghetti straps, strapless shirts and dresses, tight clothes which reveal the female form, and other immodest and unfeminine clothing.
46. I reject and denounce the notion that one may knowingly engage in activities, attend events, or visit places, which are an occasion of sin, or a near occasion of sin. Therefore, I reject and denounce the notion that one may engage go to strip clubs, attend wrestling events, go to a public beach, etc.
46. Note/Explanation: There may be exceptions. While it is sinful in and of itself to place yourself in situations that are a near occasion sin for recreational or unnecessary reasons, it may not be sinful in and of itself to place yourself in a near occasion of sin given the place or situation is absolutely unavoidable, or if there is an absolute emergency. If there is an absolute emergency, or if the situation is completely unavoidable, you would still incur the guilt of any sin committed while in this situation or place, but would not sin just by placing yourself in the near occasion of sin. It would be sinful in and of itself to place yourself in a near occasion of sin only if it was unnecessary or avoidable.
47. I believe that there is absolutely no salvation, nor remission of sin, outside the Catholic Church.
48. I believe that it is absolutely necessary for salvation to be subject to the Roman Pontiff.

51. I reject and denounce the heresy which states that one can be inside the Church without being a member. I reject and denounce the heresy which states that one can belong to the soul of the Church but not the body. I reject and denounce as heresy the notion of an invisible Church within the Catholic Church, which members of false religions are unknowingly united to.
52. I reject and denounce the heresy which states that those who die in false religions and/or die worshipping false gods can be saved.
53. I reject and denounce the heresy which states that those who die in a state of invincible ignorance can be saved.
54. I reject and denounce the heresy which states that a non-Catholic who has attained the use of reason can be implicitly Catholic, secretly Catholic, or a Catholic without knowing it.
55. I believe that all baptized children who have not yet attained the use of reason are presumed to hold the Catholic Faith and be members of the Church. I reject and denounce the heresy which states that baptized children who have attained the use of reason and become heretics and/or schismatics remain inside the Church. I reject and denounce the heresy which states that non-Catholics who are baptized after they have attained the use of reason are secretly, or unknowingly baptized into the Catholic Church.

91. I reject and denounce the notion that the See of Peter has never been, never can be, and never will be, vacant. I reject and denounce the notion that “Peter has perpetual successors”, as defined at the Vatican Council, means that there will always be a pope every minute of every day.

104. Note/Explanation: Rejecting a doctrine of the ordinary magisterium does not make one a heretic. It is a mortal sin against the faith, and will send you to hell just as quickly as heresy will, but rejecting a doctrine of the ordinary magisterium in and of itself does not make one a heretic. The heresy lies in saying one is free to reject any doctrines of the ordinary magisterium, since the Vatican Council infallibly declared that doctrines of the ordinary magisterium must be believed.
105. I renounce my support of and/or my association with the following non-Catholic sects, groups, churches, and/or individuals:

With a sincere heart, therefore, and with unfeigned faith, I detest and abjure each and every error, heresy and/or schism that I have held, and each and every non-Catholic sect that I was associated with.
I beg and pray that Almighty God, the Triune and undivided Godhead, the most holy and eternal Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, who can neither deceive nor be deceived, will have mercy on me and forgive me, a poor wretched sinner, of each and every mortal sin that has denied him and has placed me outside the one, holy, Catholic, apostolic, and Roman Church, outside of which there is no salvation. I also beg the holy, perpetual Virgin Mary, Mother of God, our Queen, through her Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart; with St. Joseph, patriarch of the most Holy Family and protector of holy Mother Church; St. Michael the Archangel, prince of the heavenly host and our defender in battle; St. John the Baptist; the holy Apostles Peter and Paul; St. Joachim and St. Anne; and all the angels and saints to pray for me before the throne of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ the King, that he may hide me in his most Sacred Wounds, cover me with his most Precious Blood, and wash me clean with the water that flowed from his pierced side in his crucifixion and death; and I beg his most Sacred Heart to have mercy on me, that he may strengthen me and suffer me not to fall due to my concupiscence or human weakness into these sins, or any sin, again. May he protect me from the deceptions and snares of Satan who, with his lying signs and wonders, appears as an angel of light. Please, dear God, save me from the world, the flesh, and the devil so that I may not be damned to the eternal fires of hell because I know that I am nothing, can know nothing, and do nothing without thee, O Lord and my God. May I be made worthy, by cooperating with thy priceless graces obtained from thy infinite sacrifice on the cross and by uniting myself with thee, to become the saint that thou hast called me to be in order that I may attain after my death and judgment the perfect happiness and eternal bliss of loving, praising, and glorifying thee by gazing upon thy most adorable and Holy Face in heaven, together with all the angels and saints, forever and ever. Amen.
I promise to live and profess the holy Roman Catholic faith without compromise, until and through my last dying moment, for the salvation of my immortal soul, so help me God, and these his holy Gospels, which I touch with my hand. Amen.
Profession of Faith
I with firm faith believe and profess all and everything which is contained in the Creed of Faith, which the holy Roman Church uses, namely: I believe in one God the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible; and in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, and born of the Father before all ages, God of God, light of light, true God of true God, begotten not made, consubstantial with the Father, by whom all things were made; who for us men and for our salvation descended from heaven, and became incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary, and was made man; he was also crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, suffered, died, and was buried; and he rose on the third day according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven; he sitteth at the right hand of the Father, and will come again with glory to judge the living and the dead, of whose kingdom there shall be no end; and in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son; who together with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified; who spoke through the prophets; and in one holy Catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the remission of sins, and I await the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
The apostolic and ecclesiastical traditions and all other observances and constitutions of that same Church I most firmly admit and embrace. I likewise accept Holy Scripture according to that sense which our holy Mother Church has held and does hold, whose [office] it is to judge of the true meaning and interpretation of the Sacred Scriptures; I shall never accept nor interpret it otherwise than in accordance with the unanimous consent of the Fathers.
I also profess that there are truly and properly seven sacraments of the New Law instituted by Jesus Christ our Lord, and necessary for the salvation of mankind, although not all are necessary for each individual; these sacraments are baptism, confirmation, the Eucharist, penance, extreme unction, order, and matrimony; and [I profess] that they confer grace, and that of these baptism, confirmation, and order cannot be repeated without sacrilege. I also receive and admit the accepted and approved rites of the Catholic Church in the solemn administration of all the aforesaid sacraments. I embrace and accept each and everything that has been defined and declared by the holy Synod of Trent concerning original sin and justification.
I also profess that in the Mass there is offered to God a true, proper sacrifice of propitiation for the living and the dead, and that in the most holy sacrament of the Eucharist there is truly, really, and substantially present the body and blood together with the soul and the divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, and that there takes place a conversion of the whole substance of bread into the body, and of the whole substance of the wine into the blood; and this conversion the Catholic Church calls transubstantiation. I also acknowledge that under one species alone the whole and entire Christ and the true sacrament are taken.
I steadfastly hold that a purgatory exists, and that the souls there detained are aided by the prayers of the faithful; likewise that the saints reigning together with Christ should be venerated and invoked, and that they offer prayers to God for us, and that their relics should be venerated. I firmly assert that the images of Christ and of the Mother of God ever Virgin, and also of the other saints should be kept and retained, and that due honor and veneration should be paid to them; I also affirm that the power of indulgences has been left in the Church by Christ, and that the use of them is especially salutary for the Christian people.
I acknowledge the holy Catholic and apostolic Roman Church as the mother and teacher of all churches; and to the Roman Pontiff, the successor of the blessed Peter, chief of the Apostles and vicar of Jesus Christ, I promise and swear true obedience.
Also all other things taught, defined, and declared by the sacred canons and ecuмenical Councils, and especially by the sacred and holy Synod of Trent, (and by the ecuмenical Council of the Vatican, particularly concerning the primacy of the Roman Pontiff and his infallible teaching), I without hesitation accept and profess; and at the same time all things contrary thereto, and whatever heresies have been condemned, and rejected, and anathematized by the Church, I likewise condemn, reject, and anathematize. This true Catholic faith, outside of which no one can be saved, (and) which of my own accord I now profess and truly hold, I do promise, vow, and swear that I will, with the help of God, most faithfully retain and profess the same to the last breath of life as pure and inviolable, and that I will take care as far as lies in my power that it be held, taught, and publicly professed by those who depend on me and by those whom I shall have charge, so help me God, and these holy Gospels of God.
Therefore, I being of sound mind and reason and by the use of my unrestrained free will, attest, assent, and humbly submit to each and all of the above points of this abjuration and profession of faith, in their entirety and without any reservation. I testify that each of my statements and condemnations have not been written over, stricken out, or erased and re-written; and that all the necessary blank lines have been filled in so as to protect from future tampering of this docuмent.
