said of the general Council summoning for a second time, he would be clear of a third summons by the power of a lower court, and despite all other constitutions and apostolic or religious regulations even those previously approved by apostolic power or any other perpetuated statutes and customs, privileges, indults and apostolic documents mentioned above or in whatever manner granted, approved, or verified. We cancel the authority of all of the above in general and in detail, even though there may exist a special mention of them and their contents expressed in detail, not just in general manner, or there may be some other wording or some formula for their corroboration; the wording, expressed in detail with absolutely no omissions and close adherence to the traditional form, we recognize as being expressed completely and sufficiently, and we hold it as specified in other cases and deem it effective; for the above effect, this time only we cancel its validity uniquely and specifically along with any other contrary orders; the same should be understood if an indult is granted to some by the Holy See either jointly or separately, i.e., that they cannot be interdicted, suspended, or excommunicated by virtue of an apostolic document, if they do not make a total and clear word for word mention of this indult. We wish that copies of this document, even the printed ones, personally signed by a public notary and sealed with the seal of the person holding a Church office or certified by the General Procurator of the aforesaid Order or Congregation, be given the same credence with which their original would be viewed if delivered and presented. Given in Rome at St. Peter’s, under the Fisherman’s seal, on March 27, 1787, in the thirteenth year of our pontificate. Place of the seal ✠ R. Cardinal Braschius de Honestis Decrees of the Holy See Regarding the Congregation 51
