Murder, considered a crime when people commit it singly, is transformed into a virtue when they do it en masse.

Baptism pertains to the Church alone.

None of us offers resistance when he is seized, or avenges himself for your unjust violence, although our people are numerous and plentiful...it is not lawful for us to hate, and so we please God more when we render no requital for injury...we repay your hatred with kindness.

Since the baptismal rebirth takes place only with the one Bride of Christ, where could he be born who is not a son of the Church?

May all Christians be found worthy of either the pure white crown of a holy life or the royal red crown of martyrdom.

There is one God and one Christ, and one Church, and one chair founded on Peter by the word of the Lord. It is not possible to set up another altar or for there to be another priesthood besides that one altar and that one priesthood. Whoever has gathered elsewhere is scattering.

Knowing that there is one Baptism, we who hold the head and root of the One Church know for certain that to him who is outside the Church nothing is lawful.
