Of the Catholic Church: St Cyprian
Treatise V: On the Unity of the Church
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 August 2024
Extract
To Peter, these things spake the Lord in prophecy and command: Thou art Peter and upon this Rock I will build my Church and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it: Feed thou my sheep: As my Father sent me, so I send you. Thus upon Unity, was the beginning made and the words fulfilled of the Song of Songs where, in the Person of Christ, the Holy Spirit declared: My Dove, my spotless one is but one. She is the only child of her Mother, the Chosen of her that bare her.
If a man, then, stands not by this Unity of the Church, thinks he to hold the Faith? Can he who strives against the Church be yet within it; Even so taught the Apostle Paul: There is One Body and One Spirit even as ye are called in One Hope of your calling; One Lord, One Faith.
