458. On several occasions evil spirits have imagined that a different heaven exists from the one that is the Lord's, and they have also been allowed to search for it wherever they could. But to their deep dismay, they have not anywhere found any other heaven. Indeed evil spirits race around in a frenzy, both on account of their hatred of the Lord and of the infernal agony of mind they suffer, and seize on delusions such as this.
