Book
Vincent of Lérins · 1823
A patristic treatise defending Catholic doctrine against heresy by establishing the principle that true faith is what has been believed everywhere, always, and by all the faithful. Written with eloquence and theological rigor, it addresses heresies of the 5th century while providing enduring principles for identifying orthodox Christianity.

Whilst Origen wantonly abuses Grace, over-fondly indulges his own genius, and contemns the ancient simplicity of the Christian Religion, the Church turns away from him.
CSVV-RC-084False teachers produce texts of Holy Writ and by false interpretations prop up their errors, following the machination of the devil, cloaking impious doctrines with Scripture's authority.
