21.21 Omnis qui habuerit maculam Quisquis cuilibet horum vitiorum subjicitur, panes Domino offerre prohibetur, ne aliena delicta diluere non valeat, quem adhuc propria delicta devastant. AUG., quæst. 35 in Lev. Ablata est omnis dubitatio, etc., usque ad a quo incensum necesse erat imponi. Oportet sacerdotem esse animo et conversatione immaculatum, quem sicut Moses duodecim maculis juxta LXX mundum esse præcepit: sic Paulus duodecim conservare eum monuit dicens: Non superbum, non iracundum, non vinolentum, etc. I Tim. 2. Est enim Dei dispensator, qui subjectis debet virtutibus præcellere. Hoc quoque in Ecclesia fit si quis maculatus fuerit, et pœnitendo cessaverit, sanctis communicare non prohibetur: ministrare autem, vel ad velum accedere et ad altare non licet. Velum enim et altare corpus Christi est, unde Paulus: Habemus altare de quo comedere non habent potestatem qui tabernaculo deserviunt Hebr. 13.. Et alibi: Habentes fiduciam in introitu sanctorum in sanguine Christi, quam initiavit nobis viam novam et viventem per velamen, id est carnem ejus Hebr. 10.. Et contaminare non debet, etc. Inordinate agendo populum scandalizent, putantes superfluum esse Dei ministerium, et justitiam et judicium.
