ST. CYRIL OF JERUSALEM: CHRIST’S TRUE CHURCH IS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
“And if ever you are sojourning in cities, inquire not simply where the Lord’s house is (for the other sects of the profane also attempt to call their own dens houses of the Lord), not merely where the church is, but where the Catholic Church is. For this is the peculiar name of this holy Church, the mother of us all, the spouse of our Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God.”
St. Cyril of Jerusalem, “Catechetical Lecture 18” (§26) (c. AD 350)
