Theological Theses · §1494 · Louis Le Blanc de Beaulieu

Though sacrifice is withheld, votive offerings and dedicatory gifts fill Saints’ named churches and chapels

Sacrifice aside, Rome still loads Saints with oblations and consecrated gifts.

These mark benefits thought received from or through them—crowding their named shrines.

Latin

XIV. Praeterea licet in Ecclesia Romana sacrificia Sanctis non offerantur, illis tamen variae fiunt oblationes, & solemne est eis donaria consecrare, in memoriam beneficiorum quae putantur ab illis accepta, sive per eos impetrata: qualia plurima visuntur in templis & sacellis de illorum nomine vocatis.
