Cum occasione
With the bull Cum occasione of May 31, 1653, Pope Innocent X condemned five sentences of Jansenism as heresy . The dispute simmered since the work of Augustine by Cornelius Jansen , which appeared posthumously in 1640 and had already been banned by Pope Urban VIII in 1642 .
Pope Innocent X condemned the following Jansenist statements as contradicting the teaching of the Catholic Church:
- Some commandments of God are for righteous people, even if they want to and try, with the powers that they currently have, impossible to fulfill; they also lack the grace through which they can be fulfilled.
- Inner grace is never resisted in the state of fallen nature.
- In the state of fallen nature, freedom from necessity is not required in man for merit and misconduct , but freedom from coercion is sufficient.
- The semi-Pelagians admitted the necessity of obliging inner grace for the individual acts, also for the beginning of the faith; and they were heretical in claiming that this grace was one which the human will could resist or obey.
- It is semi-Pelagian to say that Christ died or shed his blood for absolutely everyone; DH 2005: semipelagianum est dicere Christum pro omnibus omnino hominibus mortuum esse aut sanguinem fudisse .
