Filippo Melantone frasi celebri

“Pur ammettendo che la beata Maria preghi per la Chiesa, è forse lei che riceve le anime nell'ora della morte? È forse lei che trionfa sulla morte? È lei che vivifica? Che cosa fa il Cristo, se è la beata Maria ad occuparsi di tutto questo? Benché meriti, in sommo grado, i più grandi onori, ella non vuole essere uguale a Cristo; al contrario ella vuole che noi consideriamo i suoi esempi e che ci atteniamo fermamente ad essi.”

Filippo Melantone

dalla Apologia della Confessione di Augusta, 21

“La Chiesa è la congregazione dei Santi, in cui il Vangelo è rettamente insegnato e i sacramenti correttamente amministrati. Sebbene la Chiesa sia l'insieme dei Santi e dei veri credenti, poiché in questa vita vi sono strettamente mescolati ipocriti e peccatori, resta comunque valevole il sacramento amministrato da tali persone […] Sia i sacramenti, sia la Parola hanno effetto a motivo della loro istituzione da parte di Cristo a prescindere dal loro venire amministrati da uomini indegni.”

Filippo Melantone

dalla Confessione augustana, art. 7 – 8, 1530

“L'esperienza dimostra che questo nostro ammonimento sull'utilità dell'astrologia non è fuori luogo: essa non viene a stabilire una necessità fatale, ma piuttosto contribuisce a esortarci a una vigile condotta morale, affinché con la ragione guidiamo le nostre inclinazioni e, riconosciuta la nostra originaria infermità, domandiamo più ardentemente l'aiuto divino.”

Philip Melanchthon

Origine: Praise of Eloquence (1523), p. 62

“Does the painter imitate the body correctly if he guides his brush without any method, and if his hand is moved at random and the lines are not drawn with art? In the same way you will not put the sentiment of your mind in front of the others’ eyes unless you use appropriate and distinct words, a fitting arrangement of words and the right order of sentences. For, just as we represent bodies by colours, we represent the sentiment of our mind by speech.”

“It does not make such a difference whether you are simply mute or employ no art for speaking. For it is not feasible that you can express what you think as it should be understood unless you acquire and strengthen the ability to speak by art.”

“You can see for what reason I commend the study of eloquence to you—because we can neither explain what we ourselves want, nor understand the surviving writing written by our ancestors, unless we have thoroughly studied a fixed rule for speaking. For my part, I do not see how there could be others who wish neither to explain what they think, nor to understand what is excellently said.”

“But I hope that by the decision and authority of wise princes that sometime devout and learned men from the churches of other nations and of ours may be summoned together to deliberate about all the controversies and that there be handed down to posterity one harmonious, true, and clear form of doctrine, without any ambiguity. Meanwhile, as far as possible, let us encourage the union of our churches with measured advice.”
Opto autem, ut sapientum Principum consilio, et autoritate aliquando, et ex aliarum gentium Ecclesiis, et nostris, pii et eruditi viri convocentur, ut de omnibus controversiis deliberetur, et una consentiens forma doctrinae vera et perspicua, sine ulla ambiguitate posteritati tradatur.
