Matthew 19:10 Douay-Rheims

His disciples say unto him: If the case of a man with his wife be so, it is not expedient to marry.

John Chrysostom (attributed)

Patristic

For they are born such, just as others are born having six or four fingers. For if God according as He formed our bodies in the beginning, had continued the same order unchangeably, the working of God would have been brought into oblivion among men. The order of nature is therefore changed at times from its nature, that God the framer of nature may be had in remembrance.
