Book 2
24. [...] For you have extended your hands and spread deadly veils over every head, so that, while there are, as I said above, four types of head in the Church, of the bishops, of the presbyters, of the deacons and of the faithful: you have chosen not to spare a single one, you have ruined human souls. These acts of yours God bewails in his prophet Ezekiel, when he says, 'Woe to those who make a veil' - that is who lay a hand - 'over every head and over every age for the ruin of souls'. You have found boys; you have wounded them with a penance, so that none could be ordained; acknowledge that you have ruined their souls. You have found faithful people of long standing; you have made them repent; acknowledge that you have ruined their souls. You have found deacons, presbyters, bishops; you have made them laics; acknowledge that you have ruined their souls.
(trans M. Edwards 1997: 52-53)
