38. THE QUESTION WAS:
Jerome (386 A.D.) wrote: ..schism separates one from the Church on account of _________________________.
a. disagreement with the bishop
b. disagreement
with the Bible
THE ANSWER IS
A
disagreement with the bishop (Latin:
episcopalem dissensionem)
Full quote by Jerome: "Heretics
bring sentence upon themselves since they by their own choice withdraw from the
Church, a withdrawal which, since they are aware of it, constitutes damnation.
Between heresy and schism is this distinction to be made, that heresy involves
perverse doctrine, while schism separates one from the Church on account of disagreement
with the bishop [Latin: episcopalem dissensionem] (386 A.D.
)Commentaries on Titus 3:10)
