When Catholic University Professors Had To Swear This Profession Of Faith
All University Professors And Prelates
Pope Paul IV, Professio Fidei Tridentina, "Iniunctum Nobis", Nov. 13, 1565:
Latin: “Profiteor quoque septem esse vere et proprie Sacramenta novae legis a Iesu Christo Domino nostro instituta, atque ad salutem humani generis, licet non omnia singulis, necessaria…”
“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 everyone…”
MHFM: Pope Paul IV issued the Council of Trent’s profession of faith. He required all university professors and all prelates to swear to it. This profession teaches that the sacraments of the New Law are necessary for salvation, although not all are necessary for each individual. Thus, at least one sacrament is required to be saved (i.e. baptism). The same truth is upheld in all the Church’s professions of faith on the matter. This profession contradicts ‘baptism of desire’, for ‘baptism of desire’ is not a sacrament (as its proponents even admit). A similar profession was issued in connection with the First Vatican Council.
Also notice that when there is an exception to a dogmatic truth, it will (and must) be mentioned in the Church's dogmatic teaching; for the Church's dogmatic statements and professions of faith are totally accurate and true. Hence, here we find it clarified that not all the sacraments are necessary for each individual. However, there is no exception mentioned about being saved without the sacraments in general (even though such an exception could easily have been mentioned if it existed). That proves that everyone must receive at least one sacrament to be saved (i.e. baptism).
