This unity cannot be broken, nor the one body divided by the separation of its constituent parts” (St. Cyprian, qtd. by Pope Leo XIII, Encyclical Satis Cognitum, 1896, par. 5); Pope Benedict XV summarized: “Such is the nature of Catholicism that it does not admit of more or less, but must be held as a whole or as a whole rejected: ‘This is the Catholic faith, which unless a man believe faithfully and firmly; he cannot be saved’ (Athanas. Creed)” (Encyclical Ad Beatissimi, 1914, par. 24)
