Vincentian Canon
Vincentian Canon. A threefold (but never realized) criterion of Catholic doctrine: quod ubique, quod semper, quod ab omnibus creditum est (‘what has been believed everywhere, always, and by all’). It was formulated by St Vincent of Lérins (d. before 450) in his Commonitorium, a guide to heresy and to determining the true faith.
