304. VIII. THAT THIS IS THE CASE WITH THOSE WHO THINK OF MARRIAGES CHASTELY; NOT SO WITH THOSE WHO THINK OF THEM UNCHASTELY.

These are the ones spoken of above (no. 302), with whom the love ascends towards the soul and then descends from its height. Their souls s...

That the wedding marks the end of the previous state inaugurate...

The reason why in th...

How this marriage has existence in man can be seen mi...
