For unless the new man, by being made in the likeness of sinful
humanity, had taken on himself the nature of our first parents, unless he had
stooped to be one in substance with his mother while sharing the Father's
substance and, being alone free from sin, united our nature to his, the whole
human race would still be held captive under the dominion of Satan. The
Conqueror's victory would have profited us nothing if the battle had been
fought outside our human condition.
Leo the Great
