	ST VINCENT OF LERINS - LoveToKnow Article on ST VINCENT OF LERINS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		A.D. 450), an ecclesiastical writer of the Western Church of whose personal history hardly anything is known, except that he was a native of Gaul, possibly brother of St Loup, bishop of Troyes, that he became a monk and priest at Lerinum, and that he died in or about 450.
		Lerinum (Lerins, off Cannes) had been made by Honoratus, afterwards bishop of Arles, the seat of a monastic community which produced a number of eminent churchmen, among them Hilary of Aries.
		It is very striking that in his appeal to tradition Vincent assigns no part to the bishops as suchapart from the council; be appeals to the ancient teachers, not to any apostolic succession.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Vincent of Lerins
		Vincent proposes it as a means of testing a novelty arising anywhere in a point of doctrine.
		It is hardly deniable that despite the lucidity of its formula, the explanation of the principle and its application to historical facts are not always easy; even theologians such as de San and Franzelin, who are generally in agreement in their views, are here at variance.
		Vincent clearly shows that his principle is to be understood is a relative and disjunctive sense, and not absolutely and by uniting the three criteria in one: ubique, semper, ab omnibus; antiquity is not to be understood in a relative meaning, but in the sense of a relative consensus of antiquity.

	Vincent of Lerins - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Saint Vincent of Lerins (in Latin, Vincentius) was a Gallic author of early writings on Christianity.
		In earlier life he had been engaged in secular pursuits, whether civil or military is not clear, though the term he uses, "secularis militia," might possibly imply the latter.
		This is the famous "Quod ubique, quod semper, quod ab omnibus," with which Vincentius's name is associated." It has also become known as the "canon of St. Vincent" or the "Vincentian canon".

	St. Vincent of Lerins
		Vincent was of Gaulish extraction, had a polite education, was afterwards for some time an officer in the army, and lived with dignity in the world.
		Vincent reflected that time is always snatching something from us: its fleeting moments pass as quick as they come, never, never more to return, as water which is gone from its source runs to it no more.
		Vincent died in the reigns of Theodosius II.

		Vincent of Lerins, whose feast is remembered on May 24, wrote the Commonitory, or aid to memory, in the year 434.
		Vincent says that those who turn to new and unapproved teachings are like fools who go to a harlot, and who then go to hell.
		Vincent says that false teachers typically believe that they have a special revelation or protection from God, and because of this, nothing can hurt them, and they cannot be in error no matter what they do.

		Vincent readily agreed with the principle of sola Scriptura, that is, that Scripture was sufficient as the source of truth.
		But while Rome and Vincent both use the term development, they are miles apart in their understanding of the meaning of the principle because Rome's definition of development and Vincent's are diametrically opposed to one another.
		Such a view is the complete antithesis of the teaching of Vincent of Lerins and the Councils of Trent and Vatican I. This is an apt illustration of the concept of living tradition.

	St. Vincent of Lerins and Catholicity
		Catholicity is not a matter of geography and majority (what is believed everywhere and by everyone), since it is often the case that truth resides in the minority (the "little flock") and among even the very few (e.g., the Cappadocians or the anti-unionists at the time of St. Mark Evgenikos).
		What Father Florovsky, in particular, argues is that we must understand St. Vincent in terms of a larger consensus, a kind of existential universality that encompasses the whole spiritual voice of the Church.
		I was wondering if you had time to clarify a fine distinction for me. In St. Vincent of Lerin’s definition of Catholicity, he speaks of Universality and Consent as well as Antiquity.

	Newman Reader - Primitive Christianity - Vincent of Lerins
		The unanimous tradition of all the churches to certain articles of faith is surely an irresistible evidence, more trustworthy far than that of witnesses to certain facts in a court of law, by how much the testimony of a number is more cogent than the testimony of two or three.
		Lerins, the site of his monastery, is one of the small islands off the south coast of France.
		It is sometimes said, that what is called orthodoxy or Catholicism is only the opinion of one or two Fathers—fallible men, however able they might be, or persuasive—who created a theology, and imposed it on their generation, and thereby superseded Scriptural truth and the real gospel.

	Pinpointing Christ's Birth Date (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		In today's terminology, one might broaden St. Vincent's "doctors" to mean Orthodox Christian scholars with acknowledged expertise in a relevant field of inquiry, e.g., history, if the problem being considered is of a purely historical nature, such as determining the date of the Birth of Christ.
		Vincent does not even bother to mention the Pope of Old Rome, the bishop of a then-small but respected Orthodox Christian community.
		If St. Vincent of Lerins is correct, that information, together with ecclesiastical tradition, should certainly suffice to determine exactly when Jesus Christ was born.

		It is fitting that this section is concluded with the teaching of the Saint who perhaps best summed up the prior teachings of the Fathers of the Church on the matter of doctrine, and who taught at the very end of the period set out in this section.
		Vincent of Lerins, writing in A.D. 434, argued in his work, the Commonitoria: "In the Catholic Church itself, all possible care must be taken, that we hold that faith which has been believed everywhere, always, [and] by all.
