Pope Pius IX, Vatican Council, Session 2, Jan. 6, 1870, profession of faith: “I, Pius, bishop of the catholic church, with firm faith believe and profess each and every article contained in the profession of faith which the holy Roman church uses, namely: I believe in one God, the father almighty... And in one Lord Jesus Christ... Who for us humans and for our salvation came down from heaven... He was crucified also for us, he suffered under Pontius Pilate and was buried. The third day he rose again according to the scriptures.”
