Catechumen Quotes

If a catechumen or a believer seeks to become a soldier, they must be rejected, for they have despised God. (Hippolytus of Rome)
Who dismisses his adulterous wife and marries another woman, whereas his first wife still lives, remains perpetually in the state of adultery. Such a man does not any efficacious penance while he refuses to abandon the new wife. If he is a catechumen, he cannot be admitted to baptism, because his will remains rooted in the evil. If he is a (baptized) penitent, he cannot receive the (ecclesiastical) reconciliation as long as he does not break with his bad attitude. View quote
Augustine of Hippo
