Paul VI offers a solemn profession of faith at the close of the Year of Faith, held in memory of Saints Peter and Paul. He presents the creed as a reaffirmation of the apostolic and Nicene faith for the modern age, not as a new dogmatic definition, and warns that theological renewal must not become novelty that obscures revealed truth. The profession confesses one God in three co-eternal and equal Persons; Christ, the eternal Son who became man, died and rose for humanity, and will judge the living and the dead; and the Holy Spirit, Lord and giver of life. It affirms Mary's perpetual virginity, divine motherhood, preservation from original sin, Assumption, and maternal care for believers. Humanity's fall through Adam, Christ's redemption, Baptism, and the Church as the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Mystical Body are likewise professed. The Church is visible and hierarchical yet includes sinners, guards revealed truth through the Pope and bishops, and possesses infallibility in its supreme teaching authority. Its unity embraces diverse rites and traditions, while elements of truth outside its visible structure encourage hope for Christian reunion. The Mass makes Calvary sacramentally present through transubstantiation, and Christ remains truly present in the tabernacle. The profession closes by joining work for justice, peace, and the poor to hope in eternal life, the Resurrection, and the communion of believers on earth, in purification, and in heaven.
