St. Bernard comes next: he not only approves of the language of St. Jerome, but he sometimes uses
his words, although he does not mention his name. Thus he speaks in his very long Sermon on the
words of St. Peter, "Behold we have left all things," which occur in the Gospel of St. Matthew: "A
cleric," he says, "who hath any part with the world, will have no inheritance in heaven: if he
possess anything beside God, the Lord will not be his inheritance." And a little below he proceeds,
declaring what a cleric can retain of ecclesiastical benefices: " Not to give the property of the poor to
the poor, is the same as the crime of sacrilege: whatever ministers and dispensers not lords and
possessors receive out of church property beyond mere food and clothing, is by a sacrilegious cruelty
taken from the patrimony of the poor." Thus St. Bernard perfectly agrees with St. Jerome.
