'We call for that,' added I forthwith, 'not because he has become liable to it, for he is as much excommunicated as I am, but to avoid scandal, which must without fail arise if the Reverend Father Esprit, who has been declared accursed and doubly accursed of God, et cetera, should say Holy Mass before the publication of another declaration setting aside the former one. In addition to this, the simple folk do not judge by reality, but only by appearances, by which they are misled. Without considering whether the said reverend father is excommunicated or not, it is open to them to believe that he is a malefactor, for they are unable to persuade themselves that a bishop, whom here they venerate like the Pope is venerated at Rome, could treat a friar so unworthily without his having merited it. Moreover, as we clearly comprehend that no limit will be placed on what is done to us, we have just reason to fear that, having declared the Reverend Father Esprit out of rule, you will equally launch an interdict against our church, if he should celebrate publicly Holy Mass without your Lordship's leave.' - [Previous: 361.3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.361.3.4) - [Next: 361.3.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.361.3.6) - [Up: 361.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.361.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.361.3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.361.3.5) · Pramāṇa
