St. Irenaeus On Heretics Using Ambiguity And Catholic Terms
St. Irenaeus On Heretics Using Ambiguity and Catholic Terms
MHFM: This is another interesting quote from a saint concerning how heretics (in this case the Gnostics) employed ambiguity and Catholic terms when they insinuated and taught their heresies.
St. Irenaeus, Against Heresies, Book III, Chap. 17: “… not only do they hold opinions which are different, but absolutely contrary, and in all points full of blasphemies, by which they destroy those persons who, by reason of the resemblance of the words, imbibe a poison which disagrees with their constitution, just as if one, giving lime mixed with water for milk, should mislead by the similitude of the color; as a man superior to me has said, concerning all that in any way corrupt the things of God and adulterate the truth: ‘Lime is wickedly mixed with the milk of God.’”
His reference to heretics using a “resemblance of words” corresponds to how Francis, as mentioned in the recent video (Francis Got Angry That People Converted To Catholicism), sometimes speaks positively of “evangelism” or “preaching the Gospel” as he condemns the Church’s teaching on evangelism, converting others, convincing people, etc.
