1226. About those who had pursued only earthly things in the life of the body

There are many, especially women, who regard proper forms as everything, not thinking more deeply-such formalities, for instance, as the proper preparation of foods, and clothing, manners, conversation, and the like. They are not concerned with essentials, because such formalities are everything to them; nor do they care what eternal life is, or what faith is.
