Scott Bradford: Off on a Tangent

Cyprian of Carthage

Saint Cyprian of Carthage (ca. A.D. 210-258) was a North African Catholic bishop, writer, early church father, and martyr. He strongly opposed the Novatianist herecy and its founder Novatian, who falsely claimed to be pope.

No one can have God for his Father, who has not the Church for his mother.
De Ecclesiae Catholicae Unitate
There is one God, and one Christ, and one Church, and one chair founded by the voice of the Lord on the rock.... Whoever gathers elsewhere scatters.
Treatise 1
