Round 13: Tossup 9

It’s not lying, but Augustine’s De Mendacio justifies Paul taking these actions because they were done only in writing. Aquinas defends these actions by citing the “angel with the little scroll” in Revelation, who does this action by pointing to heaven. Prohibitions on these actions cite the Sermon on the Mount, which criticizes phrases involving “heaven,” “earth,” “Jerusalem,” (10[1])and “your (10[1])head,” (10[3])and says to use the words (10[2])“yes” (10[1])or “no” (10[1])instead. (10[3])Christians (-5[1])rejecting the Latin Church in Kerala did this action at the Coonan Cross. (10[2])Exemptions from these (10[1])actions were granted by the UK’s Quakers and Moravians Acts. (10[1])Thomas More refused to make one of these statements (-5[1])recognizing “supremacy” (-5[1])for Henry VIII. (10[1]-5[1])For 10 points, (-5[1])cardinals entering a conclave agree to secrecy by making what kind of statement, including the line “so help me God?” ■END■ (10[7])
