A Tridentine Cardinal on the Church Fathers and the Immaculate Conception

 

Cardinal Melchior Cano

"All the saints who happen to make mention of this matter have with one mouth asserted that the Virgin Mary was conceived in original sin. This St. Ambrose lays down, this St. Augustine repeatedly; this St. Chrysostom, this Eusebius Emissenus, this Remigius and Maximus; this Bede and Anslem, affirm; this St. Bernard and Erhardhus, bishop and martyr, with a multitude beside." (Melchior Cano, De Sanctorum Auctoritate, Book 7, Chapter 3)
