Description

Mother Drane, O.P. ch. 27 on St. Dominic's writings (ref:33.8, 34.33):

According to creditable opinion, St. Dominic professed in very express terms his belief in the Immaculate Conception. It is even said that he committed it to writing in a certain book, which the heretics required him to cast into the flames, &c … It contained (it is said) in the following terms the precious text of the Acts of the Martyrdom of St. Andrew: “Even as the first Adam was made of virgin earth, which had never been cursed, so also was it fitting for the second Adam to be made in like manner.”
