In opposition to Novatian's teaching, Dionysius ordered that the Eucharist should be refused to no one who asked it at the hour of death, even those who had previously lapsed.
Nasuprot Novanijevom učenju, Dionizije je naložio da se euharistija ne smije odbiti nikome tko ju je zamolio u trenutku smrti, pa čak ni onima koji su prethodno posrnuli u vjeri.
