“It has been an established custom in the Church that the more devout a person is, the more prompt he is to oppose innovations”
Vincent of Lerins, The Commonitory: For the Antiquity and Universality of the Catholic Faith Against the Profane Novelties of All Heresies:

“For that holy and prudent man knew that to admit the notion of piety is nothing other than that everything is received by faith from the fathers and consigned by the same faith to the sons and [piety is] not our religion, which we want, that leads but more that which leads must be followed, for it is proper to Christian modesty and gravity not to pass on his own beliefs to those who come after him, but to preserve what has been received from his ancestors.”
St. Vincent of Lerins, The Commonitory Of St. Vincent Of Lerins
