13. Understanding in spiritual matters is lost among those of the clergy who have confirmed within themselves the falsehoods of the faith of today. It is not lost among the laity because they have not confirmed them. How the clergy shut up their own understanding in spiritual matters, and also the understanding among the laity. Confirmation shuts it up; the reason why. More kinds of confirmations. Confirmation by one's way of life is the worst.
