Note 958 — XXIII. THE HERESIES.
Reading edition
The spirit of the sectaries of Schmidt is shown by one of their doctrines—“Propter sacerdotum nequitiam, licentiavit Deus et abjecit sacerdotium evangelicum,” and by their argument for abolishing masses for the dead “nihil prosint defunctis, sed sint solatia vivorum et repleant marsupia clericorum.”—Gobelin.
