Chapter 27

Chapter 27.—52.  Also another Felix of Buslaceni said:  "In admitting heretics to the Church without baptism, let no one place custom before reason and truth; for reason and truth always exclude custom."

53.  To him our answer is:  You do not show the truth; you confess the existence of the custom.  We should therefore do right in maintaining the custom which has since been confirmed by a plenary Council, even if the truth were still concealed, which we believe to have been already made manifest.
