Article 159 - Testimony

Canon 4446 (link)

Testimony is the eighth of the fourteen (14) Cardinal Sacraments also known as the Ways of Heaven. The Sacrament of Testimony is a way of sacred action unlocked through the presence of the seven (7) Keys of Heaven within the Sacrament itself. The Sacrament of Testimony is especially present in the most sacred Apostolic Life Sacrament of Natal. The Sacrament of Testimony may also be granted and conferred on its own in accordance with these Canons and associated approved liturgy.

Canon 4447 (link)

The sacrament of Testimony is granted and bestowed upon a solemn attestation under oath as to the truth of a matter in accordance with these canons and associated approved liturgy. The meaning of Testimony is derived from the Latin word testimonium meaning “sworn evidence, vocalized proof before judicial authority”.

Canon 4448 (link)

The sacrament of Testimony comprises the completion of three separate and deliberate Acts in order: Act One being the Act of Confirmation, Act Two being the Act of Evidence and Act Three being the Act of Oration.
