Faculty Profession of Faith and Oath of Fidelity
In view of the institutionally Catholic character of Christendom College,
and in view of the principle that the truth of the Gospel illumines and
is integrated with the entire curriculum at Christendom College, all faculty
contracts include the condition that the faculty member will neither publicly
reject nor defy either the official teaching of the Pope on matters of
faith and morals, or the Pope’s authority as head of the Catholic
Church. In addition, as a positive expression of the specifically Catholic
character of Christendom College, in accord with the desire of the Holy
See as expressed in the Apostolic Constitution Ex Corde Ecclesiae,
members of the faculty voluntarily make a public Profession of Faith (the
Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed) and take the Oath of Fidelity at an annual
convocation in the presence of the Ordinary of the Diocese or his representative.
The text of the Oath of Fidelity, proposed by the Sacred Congregation
for the Doctrine of the Faith (1 March 1989), is as follows:
I, N., on
assuming the office of teacher at Christendom College, promise that I
shall always preserve communion with the Catholic Church whether in the
words I speak or in the way I act.
With great care and fidelity I shall carry out the responsibilities by
which I am bound in relation both to the universal Church and to the particular
church in which I am called to exercise my service according to the requirements
of the law.
In carrying out my charge I shall preserve the deposit of the Faith in
its entirety, hand it on faithfully and make it shine forth. As a result,
I shall shun whatsoever teachings are contrary.
I shall follow and foster the common discipline of the whole Church and
shall look after the observance of all ecclesiastical laws, especially
those which are contained in the Code of Canon Law.
With Christian obedience I shall associate myself with what is expressed
by the holy shepherds as authentic doctors and teachers of the Faith,
or established by them as the Church’s rulers.
May God help me in this way.

Our Pledge
With the help of
God's ever-sufficient grace, we at Christendom College promise never to
depart from the truth as taught by the Magisterium of the Catholic Church
under its head, the Pope, and to uphold the highest Christian moral standards
for ourselves and for our students.
