Pope Callixtus’ Declaration Against Islam – Latin
MHFM: This is another clear and a powerful example of a pope judging/condemning a false religion and an unbeliever.
Pope Callixtus III (1455): “Ego Calixtus Papa Tertius, promitto & voveo sanctissimae Trinitati, Patri & filio & spiritui sancto, Dei genitrici semper virgini, sanctis Apostolis Petro et Paulo, totique Curiae coelesti, quod etiam ad effusionem sanguinis proprii, si opus fuerit, dabo operam, & adhibebo omnimodam diligentiam, quantum potero, iuxta consilium venerabilium fratrum meorum, pro recuperatione civitatis Constantinopolitanae, quae heu peccatis hominum exigentibus, nostris temporibus occupata & eversa est, per Iesu Christi Crucifixi Salvatoris nostri inimicum, filium Diaboli, Machometum & Turcarum Dominum. Pro liberatione deinde captivorum Christianorum, necnon ad exaltationem fidei Orthodoxae, ad exterminationem Diabolicae sectae reprobi perfidique Machometi, in partibus Orientalibus, ubi maxime lumen fidei occubuit.”
Pope Callixtus III (1455): “I, Pope Calixtus III, promise and vow to the Most Holy Trinity, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, to the Ever-Virgin Mother of God, to Saints Peter and Paul, and to the whole heavenly court: that even to the shedding of my own blood, if it should be necessary, I will give effort and employ every kind of diligence, as far as I shall be able, according to the counsel of my venerable brethren, for the recovery of the city of Constantinople, which (alas) in punishment for the sins of men, in our times has been occupied and overthrown by the enemy of Jesus Christ our Crucified Savior, Mahomet [II], the son of the Devil and leader of the Turks. Next, [I promise to give effort] for the liberation of the captive Christians, and also for the exaltation of the orthodox faith and for the extermination of the diabolical sect of the reprobate and faithless Mahomet [Islam] in the Eastern regions, where especially the light of the faith has gone out.”
