To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the following treatise, the Mass is sum- moned before God's judgment-seat, and condemned as unchristian and immoral. Ochino represents all this in detail. He had to treat of all the superstitions connected with the celebration of the Communion, from the representation of the change of the ele- ments, by means of the priest himself, to the popular opinion which attributes various effects to the Mass, according to the different altars at which it is celebrated. Thus, the altar of San Gregorio ...releases souls from purgatory, San Piocco liberates from the plague, San Antonio of Padua discovers lost things, and the Holy Ghost finds a beautiful wife, or a handsome husband. (P. 238). He concludes : " According to all this, the Mass ap- pears thoroughly heretical and blasphemous. It would be vain to try and reform it, because it is incorrigible. " In this exposition, Ochino encounters a practical question which was much discussed at that time, concerning the evangelically minded who had remained in Italy.
