When I am at Rome I fast as the Romans do; when I am at Milan I
do not read more

When I am at Rome I fast as the Romans do; when I am at Milan I
do not fast. So likewise you, whatever church you come to,
observe the custom of the place, if you would neither give
offence to others, nor take offence from them.
