IV. Consensus
4.3 Consensus Obligation
Article 126 - Vow
A Vow is a public invocation and promise to perform one or more obligations associated with one or more Rights in Trust of an Oath. By its nature a valid Vow is the sole source of authority of the one who makes it; and in the absence of a valid Vow a person holds no authority or power. Thus, a person cannot be properly invested into an Office without both a proper Oath and Vow.
The word Vow originates from the Ancient Greek word vow (xóv) meaning “promise” and the 3rd Century Christian word charis (κάρης) meaning “solemn binding promise, pledge or invocation; or religious vows”.
(i) The various claims that the word Vow comes from Anglaise (Old French) of the Carolingians as “vut” is an absurdity and morally repugnant as the true term adopted by the Carolingians in the formation of the Catholic Church from the 8th Century CE was voti/votum (“vote”) meaning “public promise, dedication; sacred vow”; and
(ii) The original meaning of Vow as a solemn public appeal to the Divine Creator as witness to some promise to perform one or more obligations associated with one or more Rights in Trust, appears to have been depreciated when Constantine formed the ecclesiastical, moral and lawful framework of Christianity. Instead, the term charis (κάρης) meaning “solemn binding promise, pledge or invocation; or religious vows” was adopted as the formal Christian term for vow – hence “Charity”; and
(iii) To deliberately confuse, depreciate and usurp the Christian notion of “Charity” as a solemn religious vow, by the 16th Century CE, the necromancers of the Roman Death Cult restored the use of the word “vow” in statute and ecclesiastical constitutions. The term charity was then completely corrupted to infer the false meaning of “Christian love”, “love of god (Satan, Lucifer, Devil pretending to be God)” and the “benevolence to others; giving of possessions to those in need”; and
(iv) By the late 17th Century, the Catholic ecclesiastical term for vow being votum (vote) was deliberately corrupted and depreciated to be a secular act of “choice and participation in matters of administration of a body politic”; and
(v) The use of the term “vow” now rests almost completely within the concept of ecclesiastical ritual associated with the claimed formation of ecclesiastical personalities such as priests, nuns and other religious offices. However, in the absence of competent acknowledgement of the first part (a valid oath) in failing to identify or name or accept any rights, the function of promising to perform (a vow) is redundant.
As the concept of public invocation and promise to perform one or more obligations associated with one or more Rights in Trust of an Oath is a fundamental principle of forming any valid Office and possessing any valid authority and power under the Rule of Law, the existence of such a concept of law in civilized society prior to the wholesale corruption of the Western mind by the necromancers of the Roman Death Cult from the 16th Century CE onward, is well documented:
(i) The earliest forms of Vows in civilized law originates from the Cuilliaéan (Holly) of Ireland and the 3rd/4th Millennium BCE Irish word plead meaning “promise” and the word guide meaning “solemn binding promise, pledge, prayer”; and
(ii) The ancient Greeks used the term vow (xóv) meaning “promise” and a “solemn binding promise, pledge, prayer” similar to the Celts; and
(iii) Imperial Roman Law, prior to the complete destruction of Rome from 313 CE by Constantine, used the term obligatio (obligation) meaning “binding, debt, liability; or death pledge” as a negative form of vow whereby a person effectively created a negative spiritual security or unfulfilled curse against themselves in the event that they broke their promise; and
(iv) Under the formation of Christianity from 314 CE onward, the term charis (κάρης) (charity) was adopted meaning “solemn binding promise, pledge, prayer, religious vows”; and
(v) The Carolingians in the 8th Century CE revived the ancient Holly language of law with Latin to define the word promissa (from where the word promise is derived) meaning “promise” and pleigo (from where the words plea and pledge are sourced) to now mean “solemn promise, pledge, prayer, religious vows” connected to the public act of voti/votum (“vote”) meaning “promise, dedication; sacred vow”.
A Vow made free from coercion, fear or deliberate deception must be fulfilled. A Vow made out of grave and unjust fear or malice, or ignorance is null by the law itself.
A Vow ceases by the lapse of the time designated to fulfill the obligation, or by a substantial change of the matter promised, or by the absence of a condition that the vow depends upon, or by the absence of the purpose of the vow, or by dispensation, or by commutation.
Only a Supreme Person can dispense or commute Solemn Vows of Superior Persons and all lesser Persons. Only a Superior Person can dispense or commute Solemn Vows of Ordinary Persons and all lesser Persons. Only an Ordinary Person can dispense or commute Solemn Vows of Curator Persons and all lesser Persons. Inferior Persons and Roman Persons have no rights nor powers to dispense or commute Solemn Vows.
As Inferior Persons or Roman Persons have no power or authority to dispense or commute solemn Vows, when any such Vow is breached or any action is made to claim that dispensation or commutation is given, then such an action is a direct injury to the Divine Creator and all law. Therefore any such liability and penalty due immediately befalls the Person who breached their solemn Vow.
In the absence of a valid and proper Vow associated with a valid and proper Oath, no person claiming possession, or occupation, or investiture or ownership of an Office holds any authority or power whatsoever and any and all actions made by such a person are completely without validity in law, whether or not the parties present did consent or decline.
