Subterranean Passages (Potter, de; Roscoe, Memoirs of Scipio de Ricci, 2 vols., 1829 vol. 1)

Sub-type: a historic event (c. 1781)
Relevance: prophecy
Text: "Neither shall he regard ... the desire of women..." Daniel 11:37... speaking of the dishonoring of marriage by the King of the North/Papacy/Roman Catholic church.

[...] It will be sufficient to give here the letter written from Rome the 25th October, 1781, by the Advocate Zanobetti to Bishop Ricci: the autograph is in the archives of the family of the latter.
  The advocate hopes, that it will end with the general adoption of withdrawing the nuns from the spiritual direction of the monks, “especially in those states, where some years ago it was necessary to raze from the foundations one of men belonging to the barefooted Carmelites, the other of women of the same order, which were joined, and in which, by means of subterranean passages, they led the ordinary life of men and women.” Zanobetti had been five years employed in the office of assessor of the Inquisition, and he knew, he says, much more about monks and nuns than the Bishop of Pistoia possibly could.

And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. So the ...
