Du baptême contre les Donatistes

74.

« Appuyé sur les oracles de la sainte Ecriture, je déclare que tous ceux qui ont été baptisés illicitement par des hérétiques hors de l’Eglise, ont besoin, s’ils veulent entrer dans l’Eglise, d’y recevoir la grâce du baptême, car ce n’est que dans l’Eglise qu’elle est donnée licitement ».
