The five errors of Jansen on Grace condemned in Cum occasione are:
- "Some of God's commandments are impossible to just men who wish and strive to keep them, considering the powers they actually have; the grace by which these precepts may become possible is also wanting to them."[2][lower-alpha 1]
- "In the state of fallen nature no one ever resists interior grace."[2][3]
- "In order to merit or demerit, in the state of fallen nature, we must be free from all external constraint, but not from interior necessity."[4][lower-alpha 2]
- "The Semi-Pelagians admitted the necessity of interior preventing grace for all acts,[lower-alpha 3] even for the beginning of faith; but they fell into heresy in pretending that this grace is such that man may either follow or resist it."[4][lower-alpha 4]
- "It is Semi-Pelagian to say that Christ died or shed His blood for all men."[4][lower-alpha 5]
Bernard Otten explained, in A manual of the history of dogmas, that the first four of these propositions are absolutely condemned as heretical; while the fifth is condemned as heretical when taken in the sense that Christ died only for the predestined.[4]
