563. Continuation about the inhabitants of Jupiter

Those who are the worst of them worship the Sun, calling it the face of the Lord. But while those who call themselves saints persuade their own people that this is so, yet they say that they themselves do not worship the sun, but the Lord on high, whose abode is in the sun. These, however, are their worst ones, and the others shun them. From them, even spirits stay away, as said before [549], on account of the cold. So they are shut out from communication with heaven.
