“None should refuse any kind of meat upon that score [i.e. the teaching of heretics who held certain creatures evil and so likewise the eating of their meat], and with that superstition, seeing God created all creatures good, and made all meats for the use of man;” Pope St. Eleutherius (+189), decretal “Et Hoc Iterum Est” (Quoted by Fr. Pedro de Ribadeneyra, “The Lives of the Saint, With Other Feasts of the Year, According to the Roman Calendar” translated into English by William Petre, 1730)
