817. The Roman Catholics in the spiritual world.

The Roman Catholics are to be seen in the spiritual world surrounding and below the Protestants. They are kept apart by gaps which they are forbidden to cross. None the less monks employ trickery to establish communication, and also despatch emissaries by little-known routes to seduce people. But they are hunted down, and after being punished are either sent back to their own communities, or cast down.
