Conjugial Love (Rogers) n. 435

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

435. (10) An atmosphere of licentious love ascends from hell, and an atmosphere of conjugial love descends from heaven. We have already shown in the places cited just above (in no. 434) that an atmosphere of conjugial love descends from heaven. On the other hand, an atmosphere of licentious love ascends from hell for the reason that that love originates from there (no. 429). This atmosphere ascends from the unclean things in hell into which their adulterous delights are turned, delights that emanate from both sexes there (on which subject, see nos. 430, 431 above).
