21. Invited, then, by these praises, Christ
enters His temple, S. John ii. 15. and takes His
scourge and drives the money-changers out of the temple. For He
does not allow the slaves of money to be in His temple, nor does He
allow those to be there who sell seats. What are seats but
honours? What are the doves but simple minds or souls that follow
a pure and clear faith? Shall I, then, bring into the temple him
whom Christ shuts out? For he who sells dignities and honours
will be bidden to go out. He will be bidden to go out who desires
to sell the simple minds of the faithful.
