1367. But the spirits of the Lord, that is, those who are in the heavens, do not like to be called holy, so they do not call themselves holy spirit, but their holiness is the Lord Alone. For the heavens are not holy, as I believe a prophet said [Job 15:15]. Therefore, when [by] the holy spirit angels are meant, or spirits, they are not to be worshipped, much less adored, for those who speak through spirits of the lowest sort with mankind have all been people on earth and then introduced into the heavens. But Divine properties, all and each one, are the Lord's.
