As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool returns to his folly.
All Commentaries on Proverbs 26:11 Go To Proverbs 26
Fructuosus of Braga
AD 665
We have learned that in some less observant monasteries, men have entered and brought their capital with them and later, losing their religious fervor, have made great trouble in demanding their property. Returning to the world which they had left, as dogs return to their vomit, with the aid of their relatives they have extorted what they had brought with them to the monastery and have sought the support of secular judges. With the help of magistrates they have [thus] destroyed the monasteries, so that we see many innocent men ruined by a single sinner.
