Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from American Ecclesiastical Review, Vol. 30: A Monthly Publication for the Clergy The term, Disciplina Arcani, or Discipline of the Secret, appears to have been first employed in the latter part of the seventeenth century to denote that law or custom of the early Church which forbade the disclosure of the mysteries of the Christian Religion to the catechumen and the heathen. According to the Abbe Batiffol, it was the Calvinist Jean Daille who first used the term in a work published at Geneva in 1686. But Probst, in his Kirchliche Disciplin in den drei ersten christlichen Jahrhunderten, p. 306, shows that it had been used nine years before by the German author, Meier, in a work published at Helmstadt. It matters little, however, when the term originated, or with whom: it is the thing denoted by it and its origin that we are interested in. The learned French Abbe, in the work just cited, maintains that the Discipline of the Secret was but a catechetical or pedagogical rule, and that it was not established till the third century. Now, a pedagogical rule the Discipline of the Secret admittedly was, in a certain sense. It had to do with instruction in the mysteries of religion. It prescribed the time and place and manner of initiation into these mysteries, and defined the class of persons to whom they were to be communicated.
