Q. With what vigilance are candidates for Holy Orders to be chosen?
A. Equal vigilance and severity are to be used in examining and selecting candidates for Holy Orders. Far, far from the clergy be the love of novelty! God hateth the proud and the obstinate mind.
Q. What will be required in future as a condition for validly conferring the doctorate of theology and canon law?
A. For the future the doctorate of theology and canon law must never be conferred on anyone who has not first of all made the regular course of scholastic philosophy; if conferred, it shall be held as null and void.
Q. What rules laid down for clerics, both secular and regular, in Italy, are henceforth extended to all countries?
A. The rules laid down in 1896 by the Sacred Congregation of Bishops and Regulars for the clerics, both secular and regular, of Italy, concerning the frequenting of the Universities, We now decree to be extended to all nations.
Q. What prohibition is added by the Sovereign Pontiff?
A. Clerics and priests inscribed in a Catholic Institute or University must not in the future follow in civil Universities those courses for which there are chairs in the Catholic Institutes to which they belong. If this has been permitted anywhere in the past, We ordain that it be not allowed for the future.
Q. What must the Bishops do who preside over the direction of such Universities and Institutes?
A. Let the Bishops who form the governing board of such Catholic Universities or Institutes watch with all care that these Our commands be constantly observed.
