Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Against Heresy Vincent was born in Gaul, and, like many of his contemporaries, after having lived in the world, felt drawn to the greater strictness of the religious life. He therefore sought and obtained admittance to the celebrated Abbey on the island of Lerins in the Mediterranean, opposite Cannes. Here he became a monk and was ordained priest, becoming also one of the foremost of that band of learned and laborious men who formed and trained so many bishops and leaders of the Church in the troublous times of the fifth century. His death took place about A.D. 450. The accompanying treatise was written, as Vincent tells us himself, e. i., "to refresh his weak memory" as to what he had read in the writings of the Fathers, whence the title "Commonitorium;" and, further, to set forth how "to find out the fraud of heretics, and to escape their snares." He mentions then "two manner of ways by God´s assistance to defend and preserve his faith; first, by the authority of the law of God [i.e. Holy Scripture]; secondly, by the tradition of the Catholic Church."
