St. John Chrysostom, 53rd Homily on St. Matthew:
"The Rock on which Christ will build His Church means the faith of confession."
St. Augustine, Retractions, 13th Sermon:
"Christ said to Peter... I will build thee upon Myself, I will not be built upon thee. Those who wished to be built
among men said, 'I am of Paul, I am of Apollos, I am of Cephas' -
however, those who did not wish to be built upon Peter but upon
the Rock say, I am of Jesus Christ."
St. Ambrose ("On the Incarnation"): "Faith is the foundation of the Church, for it was not of the person but of the faith of St. Peter that it was said that the gates of hell should not prevail against it; it is the confession of faith that has vanquished hell. Jesus Christ is the Rock. He did not deny the grace of His name when He called him Peter, because he borrowed from the rock the constancy and solidity of his faith. Endeavor then, thyself to be a rock - thy rock is thy faith, and faith is the foundation of the Church. If thou art a rock, thou shalt be in the Church for the Church is built upon the rock."
Cata vreme tu episcope esti piatra (ai credinta ortodoxa) esti parte din Biserica.. Biserica a fost zidita pe ortodoxie.. Roma e heterodoxa, Roma a picat.
