About this listen
I hear the apostolic seed spoken of as the true test: I say that what was first delivered and received widely across the churches bears the apostolic stamp, and that later weeds only pervert that first planting; I hold with Tertullian that lineage, sacrament, martyrdom, and consistent practice are the chief evidences of fidelity, while Augustine’s inward tone reminds me we live by faith and groan toward the fullness of adoption; Aquinas gives me the moral grammar to see why interior intention and proximate object make outward acts either true or false to that apostolic life. (Matthew 13:24–30; Philippians 3:13; Romans 8:23)
Readings:
Tertullian, The Prescription Against Heretics, Chapters 28–30
