To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
An ethical code was slowly growing up of the minutest character, and scholastic ingenuity revelled in the definition of every variety of sin, mortal and venial, and in drawing the most refined distinctions. Thus everything tended to a new order of things in which the priest was formally installed in the place of God, with full power and responsi- bility, and immediately the innumerable questions arose which have puzzled the doctors ever since in endeavoring to prescribe for him rules by which h...is finite wisdom may be enabled to perform the functions of Omniscience. Thus Alain de Lille, who throws aside the Penitentials as obsolete, and places everything in the hands of the priest, proceeds to instruct him how he is to inquire into the cir- cumstances of each sin so as to weigh precisely its degree of guilt, and what deductions he is to draw from the looks of the penitent — ^ vain and misleading formulas for searching the inscrutable heart of man, which have been endlessly repeated and remoulded from that day to this with unvarying impotence.
