聖依勒內主教駁斥異端書–宣講真理

教會傳遍普世,直到天涯海角。它是由使徒和門徒接受了信仰。它信一個天主,全能的父創造了天、地、海洋和其中的萬物;信一位耶穌基督,天主聖子為我們的救恩而降孕成人;也信聖神藉先知們宣講了天主的計劃:我們可愛的主耶穌基督的來臨,祂由貞女誕生,受苦受難並從死者中復活,祂帶著肉體升天,祂將在父的光榮中再度來臨,以重建萬有,並使人類的肉體復活;如此,按照不可見的天主的聖意,在我們的天主、救主和君王耶穌基督面前,「上天、地上和地下的一切無不屈膝,一切唇舌無不承認耶穌基督是主」,祂要公正地審判萬民。

教會接受了這種宣講和我們已經說明的信德,雖然教會已傳遍普世,仍小心翼翼地保存著它,如同住在一個家庭中一樣。同樣,教會信仰這些真理,好像只有一個靈魂和一個心;它恆心地宣講,教導並傳授,好像只有一個口。世界上雖有不同的語言,卻只有一個傳統,有同一的效能的傳統。

建立在各處的教會,如在德國、西班牙及葡萄牙,或在塞特人中間,或在東方、埃及、利比亞的教會和地球中心(耶路撒冷),關於信仰和傳統都並無二致,正如天主所造的太陽,在全世界都是同一個,同樣,教會所宣講的「真理」也在各地大放光明,照耀所有願意認識真理的人們。

擅長演講的人,教會的首長們中、沒有任何善言的講道者會講授與此有別的道理,因為沒有任何人大於老師;發言困難的人也絲毫不減損傳統。多說話並不能增加信仰,說得少也不能減少信仰:因為所擁有的是同一的信仰。

From the treatise Against Heresies by Saint Irenaeus, bishop
Preaching truth
The Church, which has spread everywhere, even to the ends of the earth, received the faith from the apostles and their disciples. By faith, we believe in one God, the almighty Father who made heaven and earth and the sea and all that is in them. We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who became man for our salvation. And we believe in the Holy Spirit who through the prophets foretold God’s plan: the coming of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, his birth from the Virgin, his passion, his resurrection from the dead, his ascension into heaven, and his final coming from heaven in the glory of his Father, to recapitulate all things and to raise all men from the dead, so that, by the decree of his invisible Father, he may make a just judgement in all things and so that every knee should bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth to Jesus Christ our Lord and our God, our Saviour and our King, and every tongue confess him.
The Church, spread throughout the whole world, received this preaching and this faith and now preserves it carefully, dwelling as it were in one house. Having one soul and one heart, the Church holds this faith, preaches and teaches it consistently as though by a single voice. For though there are different languages, there is but one tradition.
The faith and the tradition of the churches founded in Germany are no different from those founded among the Spanish and the Celts, in the East, in Egypt, in Libya and elsewhere in the Mediterranean world. Just as God’s creature, the sun, is one and the same the world over, so also does the Church’s preaching shine everywhere to enlighten all men who want to come to a knowledge of the truth.
Now of those who speak with authority in the churches, no preacher however forceful will utter anything different – for no one is above the Master – nor will a less forceful preacher diminish what has been handed down. Since our faith is everywhere the same, no one who can say more augments it, nor can anyone who says less diminish it.
