Renaissance in Italy, Volumes 1 and 2

CHAPTER IV
101/128

Do not leave folk to their own blunt sense of right and wrong, but let them admire the finer edge of your scalpel, while you shred up evil into morsels they can hardly see.

A ready way may thus be opened for the satisfaction of every human desire without falling into theological faults.

The advantages are manifest.
You will be able to absolve with a clear conscience.

Your penitent will abound in gratitude and open out his heart to you.

You will fulfill your function as confessor and counselor.
