The public (official or unofficial) acceptance of the teachings of the Church. The baptized must profess their Catholic faith as often as non-profession would amount to a denial of the faith. Bishops and priests, according to canon law, must make official profession under certain circumstances. Converts to the Church in the United States must make a profession of the faith, except when Baptism is given unconditionally.
