Decretum pontificum de membris collegiorum (Nova Roma)

QVOD BONVM FAVSTVM FELIX FORTVNATVMQVE SIT POPVLO NOVO ROMANO QVIRITIBVS:

It is the desire of the Collegium Pontificum to return the religio Romana to a simpler form. We look to the original sacerdotal offices as first established by Rex Numa Pompilius, to the Republican reform of the sacerdotal collegia, and to the wording of the Nova Roma Constitution.
