He is a Doctor of the Church, born in Palestine, near Jerusalem. His simple and clear explanations of the Catholic Faith, which an innocent child can understand, have been responsible for his being truly and properly proclaimed a Doctor of the Universal Church. Here is the way he speaks: “Believe in the Son of God, the one and only, Our Lord Jesus Christ, begotten as God from God, begotten as Light from Light, begotten as Life from Life, like in all things to the Father, not receiving His existence in time, but begotten of the Father eternally and incomprehensibly before all ages….”
Saint Cyril of Jerusalem
