	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: John Cassian
		It was probably in Rome that Cassian was elevated to the priesthood, for it is certain that on his arrival in the Eternal City he was still a deacon.
		The teaching of Cassian on this point was a reaction against what he regarded as the exaggerations of St. Augustine in his treatise "De correptione et gratia" as to the irresistible power of grace and predestination.
		Cassian saw in the doctrine of St. Augustine an element of fatalism, and while endeavouring to find a via media between the opinions of the great bishop of Hippo and Pelagius, he put forth views which were only less erroneous than those of the heresiarch himself.

		Christ prayed to His Heavenly Father for the establishment, more correctly, for the restoration on earth of the natural unity of all mankind, [for] mankind was created from one common origin and of one source.
		According to the words of Saint Basil the Great, "Mankind would have neither divisions nor discord, nor wars if sin had not cleaved its nature:" and, "this is the main aim of God's saving embodiment of His temple in man--to bring human nature into unity with Himself and with the Saviour.
		Then, having destroyed the evil part, to re-establish the original unity as the best physician, through curative treatment, again mends the body which has degenerated." The Church is formed of this unification of individuals; not of the Apostles only, but of all those who believe in Christ according to their words.

	CHURCH FATHERS: On the Incarnation, Book V (John Cassian)
		MOREOVER there is between Him and all the saints the same difference that there is between a dwelling and one who dwells in it, for certainly it is the doing of the dweller not the dwelling, if it is inhabited, for on him it depends both to build the house and to occupy it.
		FOR this it is which John, the man so dear to God, foresaw from the Lord's own revelation to him and so spoke of Him, who was speaking in him.
		For though there were many saints, many elect and even friends of God, yet none could ever of themselves be saved, had they not been saved by the advent of the Lord and His redemption.
