Evangelio non crederem, nisi...

"...est illud verbum Augustini in libro Contra epistolam Fundamenti: « Non crederem ... Evangelio, nisi quia Ecclesiae catholicae credo »."*

Bl. Ioannis Duns Scoti, DE SUFFICIENTIA SACRAE SCRIPTURAE, 110.

* (PL 42, 176; CSEL XXV pars I 197, 22-23): « Ego vero Evangelio non crederem, nisi me catholicae Ecclesiae commoneret [CSEL: commoveret] auctoritas ».

« But I would not believe the Gospel, except that the authority of the Catholic Church thoroughly warns [CSEL: thoroughly moves] me (to do so) ».
