And if there are some who object saying, "We have nothing to do with spiritual things and we cannot unterstand religious matters; we are plenty busy with this world and our military calling – how could we understand religious problems and enquire after them?" there is a short answer for them: If one is a Christian and takes interest in the things of this world, he is abandoning Christ and cannot understand the benefits of Christ's religion; his faith is of no avail, his baptism is of no use, and his belief in purgatory is in vain. Therefore, with their shameful sins they deny Jesus Christ. They add their cruelties to his wounds. 247*
