    “O” Entries

    Oath, of Jesuits.—See Jesuits, 265.SBBS 322.5

    Oaths, Roman Catholic Views of.—An oath taken against the good of the church does not bind.... Because those are not oaths but rather perjuries which are taken against the interests of the church.—“The Decretals of Gregory IX,” 20This collection is authentic, and has the force of law in every particular; the same holds of the Clementine collections. The titles even are authentic, and serve as rules of law.—“Elements of Ecclesiastical Law,” Rev. S. B. Smith, D. D. (R. C.), Vol. I, p. 70 (book I, part 1, chap. 9, par. 158). New York: Benziger Brothers, 1877. book 2, title 24, chap. 27.SBBS 322.6

    Odoacer.See Rome, 438, 439, 442, 445, 450-452; Seven Trumpets, 499, 506; Ten Kingdoms, 554, 556.SBBS 322.8

    Order, Canons on.—Canon I. If any one saith that there is not in the New Testament a visible and external priesthood; or that there is not any power of consecrating and offering the true body and blood of the Lord and of forgiving and retaining sins; but only an office and bare ministry of preaching the gospel; or that those who do not preach are not priests at all; let him be anathema.SBBS 322.9

    Canon II. If any one saith that, besides the priesthood, there are not in the Catholic Church other orders, both greater and minor, by which, as by certain steps, advance is made unto the priesthood; let him be anathema.SBBS 322.10

    Canon III. If any one saith that order, or sacred ordination, is not truly and properly a sacrament instituted by Christ the Lord; or that it is a kind of human figment devised by men unskilled in ecclesiastical matters; or that it is only a kind of rite for choosing ministers of the word of God and of the sacraments[Original illegible] let him be anathema.SBBS 322.11

    Canon IV. If any one saith that, by sacred ordination, the Holy Ghost is not given; and that vainly therefore do the bishops say: “Receive ye the Holy Ghost;” or that a character is not imprinted by that ordination; or that he who has once been a priest can again become a layman; let him be anathema.SBBS 322.12

    Canon VI. If any one saith that in the Catholic Church there is not a hierarchy by divine ordination instituted, consisting of bishops, priests, and ministers; let. him be anathema.SBBS 322.13

    Canon VII. If any one saith that bishops are not superior to priests; or that they have not the power of confirming and ordaining; or that the power which they possess is common to them and to priests; or that orders, conferred by them, without the consent or vocation of the people, or of the secular power, are invalid; or that those who have neither been rightly ordained, nor sent, by ecclesiastical and canonical power, but come from elsewhere, are lawful ministers of the word and of the sacraments; let him be anathema.—“Dogmatic Canons and Decrees,” pp. 156-158. New York: The Devin-Adair Company, 1912.SBBS 322.14

    Order, Roman View of Origin of.—From Scripture we learn that the apostles appointed others by an external rite (imposition of hands), conferring inward grace. The fact that grace is ascribed immediately to the external rite, shows that Christ must have thus ordained. The fact that [Greek words, transliterated “cheirontonein, cheirontonia”] which meant electing by show of hands, had acquired the technical meaning of ordination by imposition of hands before the middle of the third century, shows that appointment to the various orders was made by that external rite.... Grace was attached to this external sign and conferred by it.—The Catholic Encyclopedia, Vol. XI, art.Orders,” p. 279.SBBS 323.1
