Citation

Ceux et celles qui lisent mon blogue ont certainement remarqué le nouveau gadget dans la barre latérale, les citations de différents personnages de la chrétienté. En voici une de Jean Calvin que j'ai particulièrement appréciée:

As to the fact, that each province had an archbishop among the bishops and, moreover, that, in the Council of Nice, patriarchs were appointed to be superior to archbishops, in order and dignity, this was designed for the preservation of discipline, although, in treating of the subject here, it ought not to be omitted, that the practice was very rare. ...To the government thus constituted some gave the name of Hierarchy -- a name, in my opinion, improper, certainly one not used by Scripture. For the Holy Spirit designed to provide that no one should dream of primacy or domination in regard to the government of the Church.

John Calvin
