    ThePapal Coronation Oath that was first taken by Pope Saint Agatho on

    June 27, 678. ALL the popes since Pope Agatho have taken this oath, but that
    John Paul I and John Paul II did not take it. They did not have the formal, tradition
    coronation ceremony.
    Here is the oath:

    "I vow to change nothing of the


    received Tradition, and nothing thereof
    I have found before me guarded by my
    God-pleasing predecessors, to encroach
    upon, to alter, or to permit any
    innovation therein;
    To the contrary: with glowing
    affection as her truly faithful student
    and successor, to safeguard reverently
    the passed-on good, with my whole
    strength and utmost effort;
    To cleanse all that is in contradiction
    to the canonical order, should such
    appear; to guard the Holy Canons and
    Decrees of our Popes as if they were
    the divine ordinance of Heaven,
    because I am conscious of Thee, whose
    place I take through the Grace of God,
    whose Vicarship I possess with Thy
    support, being subject to severest
    accounting before Thy Divine Tribunal
    over all that I shall confess;
    I swear to God Almighty and the
    Savior Jesus Christ that I will keep
    whatever has been revealed through
    Christ and His Successors and whatever
    the first councils and my predecessors
    have defined and declared.
    I will keep without sacrifice to itself
    the discipline and the rite of the
    Church. I will put outside the Church
    whoever dares to go against this oath,
    may it be somebody else or I.
    If I should undertake to act in
    anything of contrary sense, or should
    permit that it will be executed, Thou
    willst not be merciful to me on the
    dreadful Day of Divine Justice.
    Accordingly, without exclusion, We
    subject to severest excommunication
    anyone -- be it Ourselves or be it
    another -- who would dare to undertake
    anything new in contradiction to this
    constituted evangelic Tradition and the
    purity of the orthodox Faith and the
    Christian religion, or would seek to
    change anything by his opposing
    efforts, or would agree with those who
    undertake such a blasphemous
    venture."
