Theological Theses · §1587 · Louis Le Blanc de Beaulieu

Many honors lawful toward the living are not lawful toward the spirits of the dead

It is not only divine worship that may not be moved over to angels or Saints in heaven.

Many honors that are lawful toward people living with us on earth are, by reason and piety, forbidden toward the spirits of the dead.

Latin

XXX. Praeterea Scholae Reformatae Doctores non solum censent illicitum esse, quae ad cultum divinum pertinent, ad Angelos, vel Sanctos in caelum receptos transferre, sed etiam multae sunt cultus & honoris species, quibus erga homines nobiscum in terra viventes uti licet, quas tamen, eorundem doctorum judicio, ratio & pietas vetat erga mortuorum spiritus adhibere.
