Note 76 — Chapter I · The Witch: Heretic and Anarchist
Reading edition
“That most vile and abandoned scoundrel had become so open and utterly depraved an enemy to the Christian faith and all religious observance that he denied any respect was due to Bishops and priests; moreover, he affirmed that the reception of the most holy Body and Blood of Our Lord availed nothing to eternal life and man’s salvation.” “Erat quidem ille sceleratissimus et christianæ fidei et totius religionis inimicus in tantum ut obsequium episcoporum et sacerdotum nihil esse diceret, et sacrosancti corporiset sanguinis Domini J. C. perceptionem ad salutem perpetuam prodesse denegeret.” Vita Noberti archiepiscopi Magdeburgensis, Vita A. Monument. Germ. Scriptores, vol. XII. p. 690, ed. G. A. Pertz, Hanover, Berlin.
