(Lateran Council IV (1215): Denzinger-Schönmetzer, Enchiridion Symbolorum, definitionum de rebus fidei et morum (1965 800); cf. Denzinger-Schönmetzer, Enchiridion Symbolorum, definitionum de rebus fidei et morum (1965) 3002 and Paul VI, Solemn Profession of Faith: Credo of the People of God § 8.)

(St. Augustine, En in Ps. 103, 1, 15: J.P. Migne, ed., Patrologia Latina {Paris: 1841-1855} 37, 1328.) ...
