Re: who will we initiate after Ibrahim evaluates the old-fashioned route's tree



heathens, Jews and Christians, Catholics and heretics, the slandered and
slanderers, between the two crosses.

But miracles would be useless to heretics; for the Church, authorised by
miracles which have already obtained belief, tells us that they have not the
true faith. There is no doubt that they are not in it, since the first
miracles of the Church exclude belief of theirs. Thus there is miracle
against miracle, both the first and greatest being on the side of the
Church.

These nuns, astonished at what is said--that they are in the way of
perdition; that their confessors are leading them to Geneva; that they
suggest to them that Jesus Christ is not in the Eucharist, nor on the right
hand of the Father--know that all this is false and, therefore, offer
themselves to God in this state. Vide si via iniquitatis in me est.192 What
happens thereupon? This place, which is said to be the temple of the devil,
God makes His own temple. It is said that the children must be taken away
from it. God heals them there. It is said that it is the arsenal of hell.
God makes of it the sanctuary of His grace. Lastly, they are threatened with
all the fury and vengeance of heaven; and God overwhelms them with favours.
A man would need to have lost his senses to conclude from this that they are
therefore in the way of perdition.

(We have without doubt the same signs as Saint Athanasius.)
