839. Such are those who love only a general holiness, who in the other life, chant "holy" until all feeling of holiness is gone and afterwards nothing living is left - only a bare term, in which they nevertheless place piety. Thus they worship something dead, in the same way as those who place piety in prayers and praying, even when their mind is far away. With this type they are somewhat comparable.
