Du baptême contre les Donatistes

« Puisque Jésus-Christ est la vérité, nous devons suivre la vérité plutôt que la coutume, et par conséquent donner le baptême de l’Eglise à ceux des hérétiques qui viennent à nous, car hors de l’Eglise ils n’ont rien pu recevoir ».

The Seven Books of Augustin, Bishop of Hippo On Baptism, Against the Donatists

80.

Honoratus of Tucca 1 said: "Since Christ is the truth, we ought to follow the truth rather than custom; that we may sanctify by the baptism of the Church the heretics who come to us, simply because they could receive nothing outside." 2

  1. Tucca (Thucca) was in ecclesiastical province of Numidia. Honoratus occurs as bishop's name in Cypr. Epp. lvii., lxii., lxvii., lxx. bis. The attempts to distinguish or to identify these are hazardous. ↩

  2. Conc. Carth. sec. 77. ↩
