The solemn repudiation of Catholicism which, from 1689 to 1910 was required from every sovereign of Great Britain. It was sometimes called "the King's Protestant Declaration," "the Declaration against Transubstantiation," or, incorrectly, "the Coronation Oath." This last was never objected to by Catholics, being a simple promise to govern justly and maintain "the Protestant Reformed Religion established by Law." The Royal Declaration, however, commencing

"I, ... King of England, Scotland and Ireland, ...do solemnly and sincerely in the presence of God, profess, testify, and declare, that I do believe that in the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper there is not any Transubstantiation of the elements of bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ at or after the consecration thereof by any person whatsoever; and that the invocation or adoration of the Virgin Mary or any other Saint, and the Sacrifice of the Mass, as they are now used in the Church of Rome, are superstitious and idolatrous"
