Chapter 9.—12. Likewise Honoratus of Tucca1278
said: "Since
Christ is the
Truth, we ought to follow
truth rather than
custom."

By all these declarations it is
proved that we are not excluded from the
communion of the
Church, till it shall have been clearly shown what is the
nature of the
truth, which they say must be preferred to our
custom. But if the
truth has made it clear that the very regulation ought to be maintained which the said
custom had prescribed, then it is evident both that this
custom was not established or confirmed in
vain, and also that, in consequence of the discussions in
question, the most wholesome observance of so great a sacrament, which could never, indeed, have been changed in the Catholic Church, was even more watchfully guarded with the most scrupulous caution, when it had received the further corroboration of Councils.
