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

42.

Fortunatus of Thuccabori 1 said: "Jesus Christ our Lord and God, the Son of God the Father and Creator, built His Church upon a rock, not upon heresy, and gave the power of baptizing to bishops, not to heretics. Wherefore those who are outside the Church, and stand against Christ, scattering His sheep and flock, cannot baptize outside." 2

Du baptême contre les Donatistes

42.

« Jésus-Christ notre Seigneur et notre Dieu, Fils de Dieu le Père et Créateur, a fondé son Eglise sur la pierre et non pas sur l’hérésie; il a donné le pouvoir, de baptiser aux évêques et non aux hérétiques. Voilà pourquoi ceux qui sont hors de l’Eglise, ceux qui se posent en ennemis de Jésus-Christ, et dispersent ses ouailles et son troupeau, ne peuvent baptiser hors de l’Eglise».
