2133. About saints, or holy ones
Someone of the Catholic religion came to me today, as almost every day several do from various religions, who have recently died. This one speaking with me was a Roman Catholic, and the conversation was about those who had been sainted on earth. He was told that no one in all of heaven is holy, other than the Lord, and angels being called holy is due to the holiness of the Lord, who is Holiness Itself; hence they are also called the Holy Spirit. Those of them who are angels declare that in them, there is nothing holy whatsoever, but filth, and that holiness belongs to the Lord Alone. It is known that angels are not holy, from the psalms of David.* * We have looked in vain for the passage; but compare Job 15:15, and see 1367 above.
