-- 46. Rogatianus of Nova [1825] said: "Christ established the Church, the devil heresy: how can the synagogue of Satan have the baptism of Christ?" [1826] 47. To him our answer is: Is it true that because Christ established the well-affectioned, and the devil the envious, therefore the party of the devil, which is proved to be among the envious, cannot have the baptism of Christ? Footnotes: [1825] Nova was in ecclesiastical province of Mauritania Cæsariensis. For Rogatianus as bishop, see Cypr. Epp. lvii., lxvii., lxx., bis. [1826] Conc. Carth. sec. 60. |
