Annotatio IV §.VI: Ignatius to Smyrna — Eucharist is the Savior’s flesh; Theodoret still cites it

Click or tap any sentence to jump there. The side buttons skip a paragraph.

Ignatius to the Smyrnaeans: the Eucharist is the Flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, which suffered for our sins and which the Father raised.

Not to be written off as weak faith or among interpolated Ignatian writings — Theodoret in the fifth century still cites them in Dialogue 3 (apathēs / Impassible).

Latin

IGNATII verba leguntur in Epistola ad Smyrenses, quibus affirmat: Eucharistiam esse Carnem Servatoris nostri Jesu Christi, quæ pro peccatis nostris passa est, quam Pater suâ benignitate suscitavit. Quæ verba proptereà fidei sublestæ neutiquam censenda, nec miserè interpolatis Ignatii superstitibus Scriptis adhuc, accensenda, quod illa etiam Seculo Vtô Theodoretus commemorat, Dialogo tertio apathēs seu impatibilis ditô.
