Editing Vincent of Lérins (section)

==''Commonitory''==
Vincent wrote his ''[[Commonitory]]'' to provide himself with a general rule to distinguish Catholic truth from [[heresy]], committing it to writing as a reference. It is known for Vincent's famous maxim: "Moreover, in the Catholic Church itself, all possible care must be taken, that we hold that faith which has been believed everywhere, always, by all."<ref name="Heurtley1894">{{cite wikisource |editor1-last=Schaff |editor1-first=Philip |editor2-last=Wace |editor2-first=Henry |plaintitle=A select library of the Nicene and post-Nicene fathers of the Christian Church |series=2 |location=Buffalo |publisher=Christian Literature |edition=American |year=1894 |volume=11 |ref={{sfnRef |NPNF2 11}} |author=Vincent of Lérins |translator=Heurtley, Charles A. |chapter=The Commonitory of Vincent of Lérins |wslink=Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers: Series II/Volume XI}}</ref>{{rp|page=132}}<ref name="Moxon1915">{{Source-attribution|sentence=yes|{{cite book|location=Cambridge|publisher=Cambridge University Press|series=Cambridge patristic texts|author=Vincent of Lérins|editor-last=Moxon|editor-first=Reginald S.|title=Commonitorium of Vincentius of Lerins|year=1915|oclc=635499104|language=la, en|url=https://archive.org/details/commonitoriumofv00vinc}}}} Has good notes.</ref>{{rp|page=10}} The currently accepted idea that Vincent was a [[semi-Pelagian]] is attributed to a 17th-century Protestant theologian, [[Gerardus Vossius]], and developed in the 17th century by Cardinal [[Henry Noris]].<ref name="Moxon1915"/>{{rp|at=xxii}} Evidence of Vincent's semi-Pelagianism, according to Reginald Moxon, is Vincent's "great vehemence against" the doctrines of [[Augustine of Hippo]] in ''Commonitory''.<ref name="Moxon1915"/>{{rp|at=xxvii}}

[[Pope Francis]] has quoted Vincent's ''Commonitory'' on several occasions, notably his words on doctrine and the progress of doctrine: "The dogma of the Christian religion must follow these laws. It progresses, consolidating over the years, developing with time, deepening with age."<ref>{{cite news | access-date = 5 August 2022 | url = https://www.laciviltacattolica.com/walking-together-francis-in-conversation-with-jesuits-in-canada/ | date = 4 August 2022 | title = Walking Together: Francis in conversation with Jesuits in Canada | work = La Civiltà Cattolica }}</ref><ref>{{cite book | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=pwrZAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA118 | page = 118 | title = My Door Is Always Open: A Conversation on Faith, Hope and the Church in a Time of Change |  author =Pope Francis | date =2014 | publisher = A&C Black | isbn = 9781472909787 | access-date = 5 August 2022 }}</ref>
