Introductory Notice to Cyprian.
[2329] [On the principles we shall find laid down in Cyprian’s Treatise on Unity. Also see vol. iv. p. 113.]
Epistle XXX. The Roman Clergy to Cyprian.
[2330] Oxford ed.: Ep. xxx. a.d. 250.
[2331] This letter was written, as were also the others of the Roman clergy, during the vacancy of the See, after the death of Fabian.
[2332] “Pope Cyprian.”
[2333] [Note τὰ ἀρχαῖα ἔθη, as in St. Paul, 1 Cor. xi. 16.]
[2335] [God grant this spirit to the modern Christians in Rome.]
[2336] No conception of Roman infallibility here.]
[2337] [A concession which illustrates the present awful degeneracy of this See.]
[2338] [1 Cor. x. 21, where tables and altars are used as synonymes.]
[2339] Sacramentum.
[2340] [See p. 304, note 8, supra.]
[2341] [The whole system of Roman casuistry, as it now exists in the authorized penitential forms of Liguori, is here condemned.]
[2342] [See Alphonsus de’ Liguori and the Papal Authorization, vol. i. p. xxii., ed. Paris, 1852.]
[2343] [All-important is this testimony of the Roman clergy to the Cyprianic idea of the Church synods. See this vol. supra, p. 283.]
[2344] [Note this principle, as a test of synodical decrees.]
[2345] [Probably a quotation from a “bidding prayer” in use at Rome in those times. Elucidation VI.]
[2346] In “sacramento,” scil. “fidei;” perhaps in a way in harmony with their religious engagement and with ecclesiastical discipline.
[2348] Matt. x. 33; Luke xii. 9.
[2349] [Note this faithful statement of scriptural doctrine, and no hint of purgatory.]
