“But
for Catholics nothing will remove the authority of the second Council
of Nicea, where it condemns those ‘who dare, after the impious fashion
of heretics, to deride the ecclesiastical traditions, to invent
novelties of some kind . . . or endeavor by malice or craft to overthrow
any one of the legitimate traditions of the Catholic Church’. . . .
Wherefore the Roman Pontiffs, Pius IV and Pius IX, ordered the insertion
in the profession of faith of the following declaration: ‘I most firmly
admit and embrace the apostolic and ecclesiastical traditions and other
observances and constitutions of the Church’.”
– Pope St Pius X,
Encyclical Against Modernism (Pascendi)
