Bede, on Jude 1:19

Bede · A.D. 673–735
Jude 1:19 · Douay-Rheims
“These are they, who separate themselves, sensual men, having not the Spirit.”
On this verse:
“These are they who separate themselves, etc. Therefore, they reprobate themselves by separating from the lot of the righteous, hence they are sensual, that is, following the lusts of their own soul, because they have not merited to possess the Spirit of unity by which the Church is gathered together, by which it is made spiritual. Therefore, they dissolve, because they lack the bond of charity.”
