We therefore received them with piety, exhorted them to put away the deceits of vain revelation, to subject themselves and their works to the salutary authority of their Superiors, and to hasten the return of the faithful of Christ to the safe path of obedience and reverence towards their pastors; and finally to leave to the vigilance of the Holy See and the other competent authorities the task of confirming such pious customs as might seem best adapted for the fuller increase of Christian life in many parishes in your dioceses, and at the same time to admonish any priests who were found guilty of speaking abusively or contemptuously of devout practices and exercises approved by the Church.

Hos igitur misericorditer exceptos adhortari sumus ut, posthabitis vanarum revelationum fallaciis, seipsos suaque opera salutifero Praesulum suorum regimini sincere subderent, et Christifideles ad tutam obedientiae ac reverentiae erga pastores suos viam reducere festinarent; ac denique Sedis Apostolicae aliorumque, ad quos pertinet, vigilantiae curam remitterent eas confirmandi devotionis consuetudines quae, pluribus in paroeciis dioecesium vestrarum, Venerabiles Fratres, vitae christianae plenius fovendae viderentur aptiores, et vicissim eos, si qui forte essent, sacerdotes corrigendi, qui pietatis exercitia et devotionis formas in Ecclesia probatas detrectare vel parvipendere reperti forent.
