Introductory Notice to Cyprian.
[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.]
[2350] [All this illustrates the Treatise on Unity (infra), and proves the utter absence of anything peculiar in the See of Rome.]
[2351] [How different the language of the cardinal vicar, now, when he writes, sede vacante.]
[2352] [This eloquent and evangelical letter proves that much dross had been burned away by the fires of persecution since the episcopate of Callistus. It is referred to, p. 309, note 4.]
Epistle XXXI. To the Carthaginian Clergy, About the Letters Sent to Rome, and Received Thence.
