Papal decree

PART TWO

Perinde Ac Cadaver

(Just like a corpse. Loyola demanded a vow of complete obedience to the pope, perInde ac cadaver.)

‘Let this warning be added to that of our brother Leo X so that they know these new developments nearly set us back. I plead with my successors not to liberalize the regulations. If possible make them more restrictive. The traitors have to be silenced.’

— Pius IX, August 13, 1863
