Du baptême contre les Donatistes

67.

« Celui qui, au mépris de la vérité, se flatte de suivre la coutume, fait preuve ou bien de jalousie et de méchanceté contre ceux de ses frères à qui la vérité est révélée, ou bien d’ingratitude envers Dieu, de qui seul l’Eglise reçoit l’instruction et la lumière ».

67.

Castus of Sicca 1 said: He who presumes to follow custom in despite of truth is either envious and evilly disposed towards the brethren to whom the truth is revealed, or else he is ungrateful towards God, by whose inspiration His Church is instructed." 2

  1. Sicca was in ecclesiastical province of Zeugitana. This is certainly not the Castus of Cypr. de Laps. c. xiii. ↩

  2. Conc. Carth. sec. 28. ↩
