TradCatKnight: Abjuration of Heresy
This is required in the canon law as a preliminary to baptism, or, when there is no question of that (as in the case of converts from the Eastern Church), before the convert makes his confession of faith. There are decrees of several councils to this effect: thus the Council of Laodicea (about 364) ordains that Novatian and Photinian heretics, "whether they be baptised persons or catecumens, shall not be received before they have anathematized all heresies, especially that in which they were held. A celebrated instance of abjuration is that of Clovis (496), to whom St. Remy said before baptizing him, "Meekly bow down thy head, Sicambrian; adore what thou hast burnt, and burn what thou hast adored." An early German council requires the Saxon converts to renounce belief in "Thor and Woden and Saxon Odin" before being received into the Church.
