Whosoever you are who introduce new
doctrines, I beseech you to spare the ears of Romans! Spare that faith which
was commended by the voice of an Apostle. Why should you attempt to teach us,
at the end of hundreds of years, that which we never heard before? Why bring
forward what Peter and Paul did not will to make known? Until this day, the
world was Christian without your doctrine. Thus, I hold as an old man onto that
faith wherein I was regenerated as a boy.
St. Jerome
