After receiving the summons, Abelard went to the council. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info There, without further investigation and debate, they forced him to throw into the fire the book that he had written with his own hands, which had condensed his heart's work. When the book was thrown into the fire and burned, his enemies did not say anything. One of them muttered something about seeing the God written in the book, that the Father is lonely and omnipotent. This was heard by the papal legate, who replied in astonishment, "It is impossible for even a child to make such a ridiculous mistake." ”

The man's bishop immediately rebuked him and ordered him to immediately cease this treasonous rhetoric. But he courageously borrowed Daniel's words, saying, "You fools, sons of Israel, have you tested the truth before you dare to condemn the daughters of Israel? There is also a place for trial judges. You have set up such tribunals. ”

So the archbishop got up and read the statement of the papal legate, but changed some of the wording, saying, "This is the truth of God, the omnipotence of the Father, the omnipotence of man, the omnipotence of the Holy Spirit." Anyone who disagrees is a blatant mistake and cannot be heard. ”

When Abelard offered to expound his faith, to express what he meant in his own words, his enemies immediately declared that there was no need for him to recite the symbols of Dassi, which any boy could do. Then they brought a pamphlet to him and read it. As he read it, he did his best to weep and sigh, as if he were a convicted criminal. He was then handed over to the abbot of the Abbey of St. Midard, whose monastery would be his prison. Because he was sentenced to one year in prison. And so the Council concluded.

Abelard cried out in anguish: "God, who can judge himself justly?What kind of mental venom is used, what kind of painful mind is used, do I reproach you for my humiliation, I accuse you of my madness!" He kept repeating Antony's sorrow, "Where are you, O merciful Lord, tormenting my sorrow, the shame that overwhelms me, despair destroying my heart, all these I can feel, but I cannot find the right words to express this feeling. Comparing these new pains to my previous physical pains, I seemed to be the most miserable of all very real people. In fact, the early betrayals are nothing compared to the later evils. He lamented that the damage to his reputation far outweighed the damage to his body. His physical injuries were the result of his misdeeds, and all other violence was entirely out of his love for his faith. This drove him to write about what he believed.

The cruelty and ruthlessness of Abelard's punishment was soon condemned by the world. Everyone who hears this story is strongly accusing of it. As a result, those who intervened in the persecution of Abelard tried to deny all responsibility and put the blame on others. Even Alberic and Lautelfo denied their involvement. As for the papal legate, he openly condemned this malicious act of the French, and soon released him from the convent where he had been housed and sent him back to the original abbey of Saint-Denis.

There, however, Abelard still hated their shameless way of life and constantly criticized them. And his enemies hated him so much that they were looking for an opportunity to kill him.

Once, a priest brazenly defiantly asked Abelard, "Who is the authority that makes people more worthy of faith, Bede or Hildurin?"

Abelard replied, "It's Bede." Because his Latin Church was held in high esteem.

The pastor was furious and screamed. Abelard then began to expose the shameful evils of the monastery and their shameful behavior. The priest and the others ran to the abbot to accuse him. The dean was overjoyed to hear what they had to say, for he had at last had a chance to clean him up and destroy him again. So he gathered the Church of the Brethren, gathered them together, and threatened him, saying, "These words and deeds of yours have defiled the King's crown and the glory of the King, and I will deliver you to the King at once and give you the punishment you deserve." ”

Before handing him over to the king, they were to lock him up and keep a strict watch over him by the guards. Life in captivity left Abelard in almost complete despair. However, with the covert help of some of the scholars whom Abelard had sponsored and the monks who sympathized with him, Abelard secretly escaped from the monastery one night.

He ran to an area where he had lived, where there was an earl named Theobald, an acquaintance of his, who was sympathetic to his persecution, for he had heard many stories about it. The count placed him in a small monastery in the priest of Troyes in Promais. It's surrounded by walls. The pastor was very pleased with Abelard's arrival and welcomed him warmly.

However, it just so happened that one day the abbot of the Abbey of St. Denis came to Promes to find the Count on some business matter. When Abelard heard of this, he consulted with the Count in the hope that he would intercede with the abbot of the Abbey of St. Denis, that he would open up to Abelard in order to avoid the accusations against him, so that he could find a suitable place for him to live in the monastic life. At the Count's plea, the abbot of the Abbey of St. Denis did not give him an answer at once, but said to wait until the day of his departure to give the Count an answer. But from their words they thought that Abelard was going to another monastery, and if so, they felt that it would be a great shame for them.

On that day, Abelard, accompanied by the Count and the Abbot of Troyes, came to see the Abbot of the Abbey of Saint-Denis. As soon as they heard that Abelard wanted to be in another monastery, they immediately refused to listen to his request and that of the Count, and immediately threatened to excommunicate him from the Church if he did not return to the Abbey of St. Denis at once. Similarly, they forbade Abbot Troyes to allow Abelard to continue to take refuge here for a long time. Abbot Troyes also did not want him to be excommunicated. So, hearing this, both Abelard and Dean Troyes were terrified. With these words, the abbot of the Abbey of St. Denis departed with his men. However, a few days later, he died.
