Moreover, in the Catholic Church itself, all possible care must be taken, that we hold that faith which has been believed everywhere, always, by all.
The religion of souls follows the same law that governs the life of bodies. In fact, although these grow and develop over the years, they remain the same as before.
Since therefore there is something of the primitive sowing [of faith] that can still develop with the passage of time, even today it can be the object of happy and fruitful cultivation.
The dogma of the Christian religion must follow these laws. It progresses, consolidating over the years, developing over time, deepening with age. It is necessary, however, that it always remains absolutely intact and unchanged.
