Es decir, son los paganos y no los cristianos (como pretenderían los atildados hedonistas, Nerón y los que le sucedieron en sus mofas) los que vociferan contra la carne, su origen, su sustancia, su causalidad, su fin, los que la acusan de ser sucia desde su primera formación con las heces de la Tierra y, después, aún más sucia que el limo del semen; de ser mezquina (frívola en su sentido etimológico de «falta de peso»), enfermiza, culpable (más que criminal, objeto de acusaciones, de calumnias), onerosa, molesta.
It is, that is, the heathens and not (as preening hedonists and mockers from Nero on would have it) the Christians who make an outcry against the flesh—its origin, its substance, its causality, its end—who accuse it of being unclean from its first formation out of Earth’s feces and then uncleaner still from the slime of its semen, of being paltry (frivolous in its root sense of “weightless”), infirm, guilty (not so much criminal as covered with accusation, with slander), burdensome, troublesome.
