Homilies on Ezekiel, Homilia VII · §2

Torn texts become idols; stay outside

Those who shred Scripture and stitch invented doctrines dress idols in holy cloth. You shall not enter — sinners stay outside. Glory to Christ. Amen.

Latin

Qui scripturas lacerant et verba consuunt commentitia dogmata componentes servire idolis. Non intrabis in tabernaculum meum — foris es. Gloria Christo. Amen.
