Have we referred to it with indignation, distance and contempt; and have we made it clear that it is filled only with corruption, vanity and falsehoo… - Louis Tronson

L'avons-nous regardé comme le plus grand ennemi du Christianisme, qui ne peut souffrir que Jésus-Christ règne sur les Fidèles, criant sans cesse par la bouche de ses amateurs. Nolumus hune regnare super nos? S. Antonin.

Have we despised what the world esteems and esteemed what it despises? Have we fled what it wants and wanted what it flees? Have we loved what it hates and hated what it loves?

Have we fled the company of worldly persons, whom the saints, especially the Ecclesiastics, advise us to avoid like the plague, whom one should see only by necessity, and from whom we should separate ourselves as vigilantly as we can?
