836. CONCERNING THOSE WHO IN THE WORLD ADORE NOTHING BUT SANCTITY, AND DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING WHATEVER AS TO WHAT TRUE FAITH IS IN ITS SINGULARS There are some who love to teach in such a way that men should adore only a kind of sanctity in general without any cognition of true faith; as do those who only hear masses to which they pay no attention, both because they do not understand and because they do not care to understand. They enter temples merely to adore the sanctity. There are many such men everywhere.
