Canon XXXII. It is unlawful to receive the eulogiæ of heretics, for they are rather ἀλογίαι [ i.e ., follies], than eulogiæ [ i.e ., blessings]. Notes. Ancient Epitome of Canon XXXII. The blessings of heretics are cursings. To keep the Latin play upon the words the translator has used bene-dictiones and male-dictiones , but at the expense of the accuracy of translation. This canon is found in the Corpus Juris Canonici , Gratian’s Decretum , Pars II., Causa II., Quæst. I., Can. lxvj.
