"Twice in the gospel we read that the Lord told his disciples to let down their nets while they were fishing, once before his passion, and once after his resurrection...
In the first catch, the net was broken because of the huge number of fish it took in. In the present age the ranks of the unjust coexist side by side with the virtuous in professing the faith, and in the process the church is torn apart with their heresies. In the later catch many large fish are caught, but the net remains unbroken. The church of the chosen continues in the uninterrupted peace of its Creator, with no dissensions to tear her apart."
Gregory the Great
