CONCLAVE OATH

OF THE HEREDITARY MARSHAL
OF THE HOLY ROMAN CHURCH

Ego, Marius Princeps Chiusius, marescalchus perpetuus Conclavis, Capitaneus ad custodiam Palatii Apostolici deputatus, promitto et juro quod fidelis ero Sacro Collegio Eminentissimorum et Reverendissimorum Dominorum Sanctae Romanae Ecclesiae Cardinalium et diligenter ac fideliter custodiam dictum palatium et conclave pro electione futuri pontificis ordinatum, neque permittam vel consentiam Eminentissimos et Reverendissimos Dominos Cardinales, aut aliquem eorum vel cum eis existentes ullo modo gravari ultra tenorem constitutionum sanctorum patrum de electione Romanorum Pontificum editarum.

Sic me Deus adiuvet et haec Sancta Dei Evangelia.

Sworn by Prince Mario Chigi and his suite in the afternoon of February 18, 1878, the opening day of the Conclave following the death of Pope Pius IX.
