J.M.J. "In fact, in the method followed by the Fathers (of the Church) and in the entire development of the Council of Ephesus in opposing the heresy of Nestorius, three dogmas of the Catholic Faith especially brighten the eyes of the world in their full light, and these We treat in a particular way. They are: that in Jesus Christ, there is only one Person, and this being Divine; that all must recognize and venerate the Blessed Virgin Mary as the true Mother of God; and finally, that in the Roman Pontiff resides, by Divine Institution, the supreme, highest and independent Authority on every and each Christian, in questions concerning faith and morals."
--Pope Pius XI, Encyclical Lux Veritatis, December 25, 1931.
