1467. About the chastening punishments of those who take up theories in regard to spiritual and heavenly matters, and confirm them by reasoning

It is well known that some adopt specific propositions, hatched from their brain like infants, and because they love them, corroborate them in many ways and afterwards regard them as truths, even if they are falsities and others can see that they are theories. This occurs in regard to spiritual and heavenly matters as it does in other things.
