The church has matured and now it is befitting to
have teeth, for she has grown and is no longer
satisfied with the milk for babies, but she wants
His fatness which she can chew and digest in her
life. St. Augustine said that The teeth of the
church are her , who chew the
food and then offer it as milk to the babies.
There are different kinds of teeth, but they all
work for the same purpose and the same spirit,
for edification.
