 Palmer: Origines Liturgicæ, Doc 06
I reply, first, that Gregory and Vigilius may very well have spoken of the same canon; for even if a scholastic had composed the canon, yet he might be supposed to have received its order, and substance, and principal expressions, from apostolical tradition; and therefore the canon so composed might be said.
To this argument may be added the improbability, that a form which Vigilius declared to have been derived from apostolic tradition, should in the course of a few years be exchanged for another, composed by a scholastic, whose name and character have been ever since unknown.
Vigilius, patriarch of Rome, wrote in A.D. 538 an Epistle to Profuturus, bishop of Braga in Spain, in which he says, that they had received the text of the canon from apostolical tradition.

Den profilerte danske bibelskulelæraren Mikkel Vigilius fryktar truskap mot heile Bibelen kan verta ofra dersom skandinaviske kyrkjer følgjer etter dei amerikanske kyrkjevekstrørslene.
I følgje Vigilius er det berre den forkynninga som seier klårt i frå om at dei ufrelste er syndarar som er vekke frå Gud, som er ekte forkynning.
Med dette i bakhovudet meiner Vigilius at det er grunn til å vera særs kritisk overfor mykje av den kyrkjeveksten som ein høyrer om frå kyrkjevekstrørsler i amerika, Noreg og andre stader.

 Vigilius Mountain Resort - South Tyrol, Italy - Superb Photos, Independent Review and Exclusive Online Specials
Vigilius Mountain Resort is located not in a converted warehouse in some industrial neighborhood but in the Alps, at the top of a mountain in South Tyrol, along the Italian-Austrian border.
What makes Vigilius so special, though, is the isolation, the utter peace and quiet that follow from its location atop a mountain, no busy motorways or crowded palazzos — just forests, peaks, perhaps the sound of a cowbell in the distance.
Vigilius is located within driving distance from Milan, Venice, Munich, Zurich, Verona and Innsbruck.
