II.   Sovereign

A Motu Proprio from Latin meaning “on his own initiative”, is a form of Papal Decree decided and issued directly by a Roman Pontiff and by-passing the legislative processes and formal apparatus of the Roman Death Cult in place for other forms of law and decrees. A Motu Proprio is therefore equivalent to the highest form of “Executive Order” in the Western Roman legal system.

The reference to the phrase “Motu Proprio” is in reference to its mandatory inclusion in the Papal document usually written in Italian or Latin. Furthermore, a valid Motu Proprio conforms in form by:

(i) First introducing the reason(s) the Roman Pontiff had issued the instrument; and

(ii) Referencing the law or regulation made, or the favor granted; and

(iii) Signed personally by the Roman Pontiff, his name and the date always in Latin; and

(iv) The absence of any seal or counter signatory.

While a Motu Proprio issued by a Roman Pontiff is sometimes referred to as a type of “Papal Rescript”, a Motu Proprio does not require the formal existence of a separate valid petition for rescript nor petitioner from the Roman Pontiff in order to be issued.  Therefore, a Motu Proprio must be considered a separate form of instrument to the formal procedure associated with Papal Rescripts.

The first Motu Proprio issued by the Roman Death Cult was in 1484 by Roman Pontiff Innocent VIII.

In accordance with the interpretation of canons as to the effect of “valid” issued Motu Proprio on lower bodies subject to the canon laws of the Roman Death Cult, Motu Proprio are normally considered binding precedents and new original laws within a certain jurisdiction rather than simply persuasive precedents to lower bodies, who them of their own initiative amend their position.  As such, Motu Proprio are normally visible to the public, or the executive government of the relevant body in some form.

Given the powers and procedures of Motu Proprio are founded on the wholly fraudulent claims of Authority of the Roman Death Cult which are also heretical to the original Iuris Canonum (Canon Laws) of the Roman Catholic Church (Romanum Ecclesia Catholicus), all Motu Proprio are considered without force or effect of law, or legal and are therefore null and void ab initio (from the beginning).
