We were greatly astonished that your love desires to know, as though it were a new and difficult question and something hitherto unheard of, that which the communicators of the Eutychian pestilence, having nothing to respond for the obstinacy of their own perdition, now frequently convicted by reason, murmur about in w …

I pray your piety not to judge arrogance in the office of divine reason. Far be it, I beseech, from a Roman prince to think that truth communicated to his senses is an injury.

But we have already shown that this argument has no foundation in the tradition of the Church, which has always held that the apostolic see has the right to judge all bishops without the necessity of convening a synod, just as it has the right to confirm or annul the decisions of synods. The authority of the apostolic …

For God the Word did not bring down from heaven a body coeternal from his own substance but, taking it from the mass of our substance, that is from the Virgin, and uniting it to himself, God the Word was not turned into flesh nor appeared as a phantom, but inconvertibly and unchangeably preserved his own essence, uniti …
