		With these intentions, I promulgate the present Apostolic Constitution containing the norms which, when the Roman See becomes vacant, are to be strictly followed by the Cardinals whose right and duty it is to elect the Successor of Peter, the visible Head of the whole Church and the Servant of the servants of God.

		Since he knows that the marriage of Catholic with heretics is condemned by the Apostolic See, he can also understand that the evil of heresy, which affects one of the contracting parties and which is not mentioned in the letters of dispensation, was concealed from the Apostolic See.
		It is his duty to suspend the execution of such letters and to notify the Roman Pontiff and his officials of the reason for the suspension, as Pope Alexander III prescribed in his letter to the Archbishop of Ravenna.
		It is not necessary to appeal to the Apostolic See, except for greater solemnity of the act or "lest there might arise some question of the validity of such a marriage on the score of insufficient age," as the formula which is customarily used in declaratory letters concerning insufficient age states.

		Intending to use our apostolic power zealously to this end, and having duly weighed all we have said, we judged, with the approval of the sacred council, that a tithe should be imposed by our apostolic authority on all ecclesiastical revenues and incomes throughout the world.
		In the letter of donation, union and incorporation, however, through the carelessness, neglect or engagements of the scribe or secretary, mention was omitted of the non- violation of the rights of kings, princes, prelates and other persons concerned.
		Without any privilege from the apostolic see they receive several procurations in one day occasionally paid in money, even without making a visitation; and on the occasion of these procurations they often demand from the monks what these are not obliged to pay them, laying on the monks an intolerable burden.

	Encyclical Letter Ecclesia de Eucaristia
		To contemplate the face of Christ, and to contemplate it with Mary, is the “programme” which I have set before the Church at the dawn of the third millennium, summoning her to put out into the deep on the sea of history with the enthusiasm of the new evangelization.
		The second sense in which the Church is apostolic, as the Catechism points out, is that “with the help of the Spirit dwelling in her, the Church keeps and hands on the teaching, the 'good deposit', the salutary words she has heard from the Apostles”.
		Lastly, the Church is apostolic in the sense that she “continues to be taught, sanctified and guided by the Apostles until Christ's return, through their successors in pastoral office: the college of Bishops assisted by priests, in union with the Successor of Peter, the Church's supreme pastor”.

		The letter dated November 17, 1206 is one of the many sent by Pope Innocent III to his preacher-legates in Norbonnaise between the years 1203 and 1208.
		The legates and the religious appreciated this letter in a special way because they had been accused of aping the heretics in their manner of preaching.
		It is fitting that apostolic protection should be extended to those choosing the religious life, lest temerarious attacks should possibly turn them away from their purpose or, God forbid, destroy the vigor of the sacred religious institute.

		When you look at the Apostolic lines of +Robert Samuel Loiselle we believe you will see they are by the grace of the Almighty Father and the power of the Holy Spirit both valid and lawful.

	Apostolic Succession 3
		The founding of the Holy Apostolic Church in Armenia can be traced to the Apostles Thaddeus and Eustatius, who were two of the "Seventy Apostles" (the list includes the original 12 plus those others considered equals of the original Apostles) sent out to evangelize the then known civilized world.
		In about the twelfth century, some of the Armenians began to contemplate union with Rome and the Catholicos was present as guest of honor at the Latin Council of Antioch in 1141 and later at the Council of Florence in 1439 when a formal union was proclaimed.

	Criteria used by apostolic fathers to determine canon.
		For example, in his writing Against Marcion he clearly distinguishes gospels of apostolic origin and gospels written by disciples of apostles.
		The Muratorian Fragment shows that the Shepherd of Hermas was suggested as reading-matter, yet it was accorded a lesser authority and was not to be read "publicly in the church," because it had been written more recently (lines 77-78).
		Even the Festal Letter of Athanasius (from 367 C.E., containing a clear acknowledgement of the New Testament canon of twenty-seven books) permits the reading of other literature, including the Shepherd of Hermas.

	APOSTOLIC LETTER DILECTI AMICI OF POPE JOHN PAUL II TO THE YOUTH OF THE WORLD ON THE OCCASION OF INTERNATIONAL YOUTH ...
		I limit myself merely to mentioning this matter in the present Letter, since it has already been more fully presented elsewhere and on a number of occasions.(56) I mention it here because in the context of Christ's conversation with the young man it acquires a particular clarity, especially the question of evangelical poverty.
		Examining these circumstances, the young person, boy or girl, constructs his or her plan of life and at the same time recognizes this plan as the vocation to which God is calling him or her.
		As we approach the end of this Letter, let us therefore pause for a moment to consider these words of the Apostle, which are both a confirmation and a challenge for you.

		Often too by Apostolic letters We sought the help of Louis, the Christian King of France, for the protection and defense of ecclesiastical peace.
		This is clear not only from his recent letter dated December 19 of last year (which included the aforementioned letter of the clergy), but also in all his other writings.
		The authority of the apostolic constitution which begins with the word Unigenitus is certainly so great and lays claim everywhere to such sincere veneration and obedience that no one can withdraw the submission due it or oppose it without risking the loss of eternal salvation.

		In accordance with this usage the term Apostolic Fathers is confined to those who are known, or may reasonably be presumed, to have associated with and derived their teaching directly from some Apostle.
		All the genuine writings of these three Apostolic Fathers are epistolary in form, modelled more or less after the pattern of the Canonical Epistles, especially those of St. Paul, and called forth by pressing temporary needs.
		Though the writers are all apparently within the pale of the church, yet there is a tendency to that one-sided exaggeration—either in the direction of Judaisms or the opposite—which stands on the very verge of heresy.

	Salvifici Doloris
		Apostolic Letter of the Supreme Pontiff John Paul II To the Bishops, To the Priests, To the Religious Families and to the Faithful of the Catholic Church on the Christian Meaning of Human Suffering
		In the Letter to the Romans, the Apostle Paul deals still more fully with the theme of this "birth of power in weakness", this spiritual tempering of man in the midst of trials and tribulations, which is the particular vocation of those who share in Christ's sufferings.
		Saint Paul speaks of such joy in the Letter to the Colossians: "I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake".(88) A source of joy is found in the overcoming of the sense of the uselessness of suffering, a feeling that is sometimes very strongly rooted in human suffering.
