medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
From Ep. LXX in PL vol. 100:
Omnino habeas in comitatu tuo prudentem dispensatorem, qui pauperum curam
sollicita pietate
provideat. Melius est pauperes edere de mensa tua, quam histriones vel
luxuriosos quoslibet.
Ebrietatem sectantes, beato Hieronymo dicente, quasi inferni foveam devita.
Duo mala sunt. Primum:
contra praeceptum Dei agere, qui ait: Cavete vos ab omni ebrietate et
crapula (Luc. XXI, 34).
Secundum: inde laudem quaerere, unde poenitentiam agere debuit. Beatus homo
qui non respicit in
vanitates et ad insanias falsas (Psal. XXXIX, 5). Insania est vestimentorum
pompa, et assidua
ebrietatis luxuria, propheta dicente: Vae vobis qui potentes estis ad
bibendum vinum, et viri fortes ad
miscendam ebrietatem (Isai. V, [Col. 0243C] 22). Qui his delectatur, ut
Salomon ait, non erit
sapiens (Prov. XX, 1). In te enim exemplum sit totius sobrietatis et
continentiae. Verba Dei legantur in
sacerdotali convivio. Ibi decet lectorem audire, non citharistam. Angusta
est domus; utrosque tenere
non poterit. Non vult rex coelestis cum paganis et perditis nominetenus
regibus communionem habere,
quia Rex ille aeternus regnat in coelis, ille paganus perditus plangit in
inferno: voces legentium audire in
domibus tuis, non ridentium turbam in plateis.
