CL 413-414 - innocence of wisdom

CL 413
. . . it is intelligence and wisdom that make an angel.

CL 414
. . . innocence is the essence of all good,
and that good is good
to the extent that it has innocence in it.
Moreover, because wisdom has to do with life,
and thus with good,
wisdom is wisdom in the measure
of the character it derives from innocence.
The same is true of love, charity, and faith . . .
and for that reason no one can enter heaven
unless he possesses innocence.
