VIII–X. Exaltation: resurrection and ascension into heaven
VIII. The state of exaltation embraces three principal degrees: resurrection, ascension into the heavens, and session at the right hand of God the Father.
IX. Resurrection is the beginning of glory and liberation from the bonds of hell and death, by which the dead body of Christ, placed in the tomb, with the effects of death in it removed, was reunited to His soul and recalled into life — not this animal life, but a spiritual one. Yet by an overflowing power He could also discharge the offices of animal life for as long as after the resurrection He remained in this life with the disciples to win faith for the resurrection. We attribute this resurrection not only to the Father through the Holy Spirit, but also to Christ Himself as efficient cause, since He had power both to lay down and to take up again His soul (John 10:17-18).
X. The ascension of Christ into heaven is the progress of His exaltation, by which, after He had administered on earth the office enjoined on Him, He was taken up in His glorious body to discharge in heaven and from heaven other offices necessary for procuring the salvation of men, and there He remains until He returns for judgment. From this fountain are drawn certain solutions of the sophisms by which some papal writers seem to defend the dogma of transubstantiation, and some the dogma of consubstantiation, or of the presence of Christ's body IN, with, and UNDER the bread by substantial non-distance — an error that wiser men today do not acknowledge, as absurd.

VIII. Status vero exaltationis complectitur tres potissimum gradus: resurrectionem, ascensionem in caelos, & sessionem ad dextram Dei Patris. IX. RESURRECTIO est initium gloriae & liberatio a vinculis inferni et mortis, qua corpus Christi mortuum inque sepulchro positum, sublatis mortis in eo effectibus, animae suae reunium, & eo in vita, non hanc animalem, sed spiritualem, revocatum est. Etsi tamen & vi abundante animalis vitae munia obire potuerit, quamdiu post resurrectionem in hac vita cum discipulis ad fidem resurrectioni conciliandam commoratus fuerit. Hanc vero resurrectionem non tantum Patri per Spiritum S. verum etiam Christo ipsi, tanquam causae efficienti, tribuimus, quippe qui potestatem habuerit ut ponendi, ita & animam suam resumendi, Joh. 10:17-18. X. ASCENSIO Christi in caelum est exaltationis ipsius progressus, quo cum in terra munus iniunctum administrasset, corpore suo glorioso, ad alia munia saluti hominum procuranda necessaria in caelo ac de caelo obeunda, eo evectionus est, ibidemque permanet, donec ad iudicium reveniat. Ex hoc fonte hauriuntur quaedam solutiones sophismatum, quibus Pontifices quidam dogma de transsubstantiatione, & quidam dogma de consubstantiatione, sive praesentia corporis Christi IN, cum, & SUB pane per indistantiam substantialem defendere videntur, quem errorem tamen sapientiores ut absurdum hodie non agnoscunt.
