Pope Celestine strongly opposed the Novatians in Rome; as Socrates Scholasticus writes, "this Celestinus took away the churches from the Novatians at Rome also, and obliged Rusticula their bishop to hold his meetings secretly in private houses.
Папа Целестин категорически против новациан в Риме; как пишет Сократ Схоластик, "Целестин изымал церкви у новациан в Риме и обязал их епископа проводить свои встречи тайно в частных домах".
