Papal oath

Papal oath

A papal oath is an oath taken by the Roman Pontiff.

Among those that some Popes have taken or are said to have taken over the centuries are:

*Papal Oath (Traditionalist Catholic), an English text of an oath that some Traditionalist Catholics believe all Popes took from Pope Agatho (681) to Pope Paul VI (1963), and which they refer to as "the" Papal Oath".
*Papal Oath (Liber Diurnus), a profession of faith found in the "Liber Diurnus Romanorum Pontificum", whose text shows that the profession was made by one or perhaps more Popes within the 55-year period 686-741. The "Liber Diurnus Romanorum Pontificum" does not call it an oath.
*The Constitutio Romana, which included an oath of fealty to the Holy Roman Emperor, which some Popes took from 824 until some time earlier than 884, when the Constitutio Romana was effectively revoked.
*Profession of the supreme pontiff (Council of Basel), which that Council decreed in 1436 should be imposed on future Popes; no recognized Pope ever made use of it.
