It is unlawful to receive the eulogiæ of heretics, for they are rather alogiai [i.e., follies], than eulogiæ [i.e., blessings]. Notes. Ancient Epitome of Canon XXXII. The blessings of heretics are cursings. To keep the Latin play upon the words the translator has used bene-dictiones and male-dictiones, but at the expense of the accuracy of translation. This canon is found in the Corpus Juris Canonici, Gratian's Decretum, Pars II., Causa II., Quæst. I., Can. lxvj. |
