823# 由于人因遗传之恶而具有这样的性质，所以凡通过教皇诏书被封圣的人，在灵性世界中都被移离他人的视线，并被隐藏起来；他们与敬拜他们的人之间的一切交往也都被除去。其原因是为了不让那最恶之根在他们里面被激发出来，并使他们陷入如魔鬼所有的那类幻想性的谵妄之中。凡在世时热切追求死后成为圣徒、以便被人呼求的人，都会陷入这样的谵妄。
823# 由于人通过遗传具有这种性质，所以在灵界，所有被教皇诏书封为圣徒的人都从其他人的视线中被移除并隐藏起来；他们被剥夺了与其崇拜者的一切交往，免得这最有害的恶根在他们里面被激活，他们会陷入魔鬼所拥有的疯狂妄想中。这种疯狂确实会影响那些在世时热切渴望死后成为圣徒，以便被呼求的人。
823. Since all human beings inherit this tendency, the people who are saints, according to papal bulls, are removed in the spiritual world from the sight of others. They are hidden away and forbidden to have any interaction with people who worship them. The reason for this is to prevent that root, which is the most productive of evil, from becoming activated in them, giving them the deranged imagination that demons have. An insanity of this kind does take hold of people who, while they are still alive in the world, eagerly vie to become a saint after they die, so that people will pray to them.
823. Since everyone has such a heredity, all who have been canonised by papal bulls are in the spiritual world removed from the sight of others and hidden, so as to deprive them of all contact with their worshippers. This is to prevent that worst of all roots of evils being aroused in them, so that they fall into the kind of delusions of the imagination that demons suffer from. Such delusion attacks those who, while they are living in the world, have the ambition of being invoked as saints after death.
823. Because of man's being such by inheritance, all those who have been made saints by papal bulls are removed from the sight of others in the spiritual world and kept out of sight; and are deprived of all interaction with their worshipers, lest that worst root of evils should be quickened in them, and they should be carried away into fantastic delusions such as prevail with demons. Into such delusions do those come who, while living in the world, earnestly seek to become saints after death, that they may be invoked.
823. Since man is of this nature by heredity, therefore all who have been canonized as saints by Papal bull, are removed in the spiritual world from the sight of others and concealed; and they are deprived of all intercourse with their worshipers lest this most pernicious root of evil should be fostered in them, and they should be plunged into the frenzied delusions by which demons are possessed. This madness affects those who, while living in the world, earnestly desired to be made saints after death, that they might be invoked.
823. Quoniam homo ex haereditario talis est, ideo omnes, qui per Bullas Papales 1 sanctificati sunt, in Mundo spirituali removentur ab oculis aliorum, et reconduntur, et aufertur illis omne commercium cum cultoribus illorum; causa est, ne radix illa malorum pessima excitetur apud illos, et in deliria phantastica, qualia sunt apud daemones, inferantur: in talia deliria veniunt illi, qui dum in Mundo vivunt, Sancti 2 fieri post mortem ut invocentur, studio affectant.
