340-529: Is the grace of final perseverance.

408-590: The Humanist revival – adversely affected the Order. Many Carmelites and even whole communities succumbed to contemporary attitudes and conditions diametrically opposed to their original vocation.

When asked what theological meaning could be drawn from the stories if they are not historically factual, Morello said, “We know that private revelation can neither add to nor detract from the deposit of faith.

884-410: The church fasts and abstain from meat on Wednesdays and Saturdays, unless Christmas falls on these days." This was not a confirmation of the Sabbatine privilege.

The Bull forbids the painting of pictures representing, in accordance with

918-449: The fifteenth century. Historically, however, the tradition of the Sabbatine Bull is vulnerable. No evidence of the Bull appears in the registers of John XXII.

The chief opponents of its authenticity were Joannnes Launoy and
