Besides this, in connection with things which must be believed, it is nowise licit to use that distinction which some have seen fit to introduce between those articles of faith which are fundamental and those which are not fundamental, as they say, as if the former are to be accepted by all, while the latter may be left to the free assent of the faithful: for the supernatural virtue of faith has a formal cause, namely the authority of God revealing, and this is patient of no such distinction.
French[fr]
De plus, quant aux vérités à croire, il est absolument illicite d'user de la distinction qu'il leur plaît d'introduire dans les dogmes de foi, entre ceux qui seraient fondamentaux et ceux qui seraient non fondamentaux, comme si les premiers devaient être reçus par tous tandis que les seconds pourraient être laissés comme matières libres à l'assentiment des fidèles: la vertu surnaturelle de foi a en effet, pour objet formel l'autorité de Dieu révélant, autorité qui ne souffre aucune distinction de ce genre.
Latin[la]
Praeterea, quod ad res credendas attinet, discrimine illo uti nequaquam licet quod inter capita fidei fundamentalia et non fundamentalia, quae vocant, induci placuit, quasi altera recipi ab omnibus debeant, libera, contra, fidelium assensioni permitti altera queant; supernaturalis enim virtus fidei causam formalem habet, Dei revelantis auctoritatem, quae nullam distinetionem eiusmodi patitur.
