 1 Int     |      Dialogue. Lucifer, who was bishop of Cagliari in Sardinia,
 2 Int     |   request was sent by Liberius, bishop of Rome, in company with
 3 Int     |       of the latter section, as bishop of the Church. Eusebius

 6 Int     |    another to admit a man to be bishop and celebrate the Eucharist.
 7 Int     |         But, it is replied, the bishop gives Christ’s baptism and
 8 Int     |   accepts baptism from an Arian bishop, and the bishop himself
 9 Int     |        an Arian bishop, and the bishop himself who understands
10 1(4049) |       The fact that Lucifer was Bishop of Cagliari in Sardinia
11 2       |     convince me that a penitent bishop should be treated like a
12 2       |  position, that the case of the bishop is different from that of
13 2       |    Arians, but do not receive a bishop.~L. I receive a layman who
14 2       |          O. Receive then also a bishop who, as well as the layman,
15 2       |    error why does he continue a bishop? Let him lay aside his 4052

18 2       |      soul: and I in receiving a bishop unite to the Church, I will
19 2       |  ourselves: we either receive a bishop as well as the people which
20 2       |       or if we do not receive a bishop, we know that we must also
21 5       |       palate without it: so the bishop is the seasoning of the
22 5       |    Apostle’s command, 4058 “The bishop must be blameless as God’
23 5       |         of light.” For when the bishop preaches the true faith
24 5       |         of His knowledge in the bishop is that he may not shine
25 5       |      And rightly; for since the bishop is appointed in the Church
26 6       |    would have it, that an Arian bishop is the enemy of Christ,
27 9       | presbyters and deacons, for the bishop to visit them, and by the
28 9       |       brothels of harlots? If a bishop lays his hands on men he
29 9       |      except by the hands of the bishop, let me tell you that our
30 9       |      Ghost descends only at the bishop’s prayer, they are greatly
31 9       |        fallen asleep before the bishop’s visitation. The well-being
32 9       |      without ordination and the bishop’s license neither presbyter
33 9       |        them, how can there be a bishop? I may not receive a beggar,
34 11      |      maintain that we receive a bishop for the same reason that
35 11      |       that he who consecrates a bishop in the same faith causes
36 11      |   common lot of both layman and bishop. But you say, a bishop could

41 12      |       only as a penitent: but a bishop either does no penance and
42 12      |        no penance and remains a bishop, or, if he does penance
43 12      |       penance he ceases to be a bishop. Wherefore we do right both
44 12      |    layman, and in rejecting the bishop, if he wishes to continue
45 12      |         is not merely whether a bishop is incapable of penitence
46 14      |       that an Arian should be a bishop?~O. You prove him a bishop
