XXXVI. The Popes Religion maketh Contradictions necessary to be believed; that is, impossibilities.
The Contradictions of Transubstantiation I have opened in my [Full Satisfaction] Confirmed General Councils they commonly agree do make Decrees which must necessarily be believed: And it is notorious, that such Decrees are Contradictory.

Sess. ult. they say, [Not one of the skilful did ever doubt, but that the Pope was subject to the judgment of a General Council in matters of Faith; and that he cannot without their consent dissolve or remove a General Council; yea and that this is an Article of Faith, which without destruction of salvation cannot be denied, and that de fide the Council is above the Pope, and that he is a Heretic that is against this.] Eugenius also owned this Council, Bin. ib. p. 42.
