The papal bull condemning Meister Eckhart 

Articles 14-15 : The Sin

ELPENOR EDITIONS IN PRINT

The Original Greek New Testament
Page 3

Not to have done sins (that is: not to accept that I have done them), means voluntary spiritual immaturity, (this is what happens with the infallible see, for example); and not thanking for the sins that I did, means that I have not realised God’s gift in them, my sins have not helped me, I have not changed my mind, I have not seen God’s mercy, and I have not loved Him (this is what happened with Judas, and what the papal 'logic' promotes). Then, I made my sins in vain! Maybe I seem a person of justice (and an austere one), but in truth I'm conquered by fear and hypocrisy. It was this fear that the emperor Manuel II Palaeologus wanted to fight in advance, when he was writing to his young son that “even if someone surpasses in sin all the men that are born so far, and I will add, all who will be born until the end of the world, even thus God can not hate him”.[4]
