Now let us come to Liguori. That so-called Saint, Liguori is not less diabolically impure than Dens, in his questions to the women. But I will cite only two of the things on which the spiritual physician of the Pope must not fail to examine his spiritual patient:—
1. "Quærat an sit semper mortale, si vir immitat pudenda in os uxoris?...
Verius affirmo quia, in hoc actu, ob calorem oris, adest proximum periculum pollutionis, et videtur nova species luxuriæ contra naturam, dicta, irruminatio."
2. "Eodem modo, Sanchez damnat virum de mortali, qui, in actu copulæ, immiteret digitum in vas præposterum uxoris; quia, ut ait, in hoc actu adest affectus ad Sodomiam" (Liguori, tom. vi. p. 935).
The celebrated Burchard, Bishop of Worms, has made a book of the questions which had to be put by the confessors to their penitents of both sexes. During several centuries it was the standard book of the priests of Rome. Though that work to-day is out of print, Dens, Liguori, Debreysne, &c., &c., have ransacked its polluting pages, and given them to study to the modern confessors, in order to question their penitents. I will select only a few questions of the Roman Catholic bishop to the young men:—
1. "Fecisti solus tecum fornicationem ut quidam facere solent; ita dico ut ipse tuum membrum virile in manum tuam acciperes, et sic duceres præputium tuum, et manu propriâ commoveres, ut, sic, per illam delectationem semen projiceres?"
2. "Fornicationem fecisti cum masculo intra coxas; ita dico ut tuum virile membrum intra coxas alterius mitteres, et sic agitando semen funderes?"
3. "Fecisti fornicationem, ut quidem facere solent, ut tuum virile membrum in lignum perforâtum, aut in aliquod hujus modi mitteres, et, sic, per illam commotionem et delectationem semen projiceres?"
4. "Fecisti fornicationem contra naturam, id est, cum masculis vel animalibus coire, id est cum equo, cum vaccâ, vel asinâ, vel aliquo animali?" (vol. i. p. 136.)
Among the questions we find in the Compendium of the Right Rev. Burchard, Bishop of Worms, which must be put to women, are the following (p. 115):—
