For from the coming down of the incarnate Word amongst us, all the
Churches in every part of the world have held that greatest Church alone
as their base and foundation, seeing that according to the promise of
Christ our Saviour, the gates of hell do never prevail against it, that
it has the keys of a right confession and faith in Him, that it opens
the true and only religion to such as approach with piety, and shuts up
and locks every heretical mouth that speaks injustice against the Most
High.
-- Saint Maximus the Confessor
