2643. This hell, namely the one occupying the region of the left heel, is increasing much at this day, for adulterers and the cruel are multiplying there today, or those who delight in adulteries and cruelty, and harbor such fantasies in that place. Indeed, very many also who in bodily life had appeared kind and gentle in human society, of whom people had never suspected such a thing, are there enjoying their fantasies so much, and preferring that pleasure beyond all pleasure. So the one loves to torture the other, even if it be their dearest friend.
