"I am sorry that I am not certain where I found the statement about a confessor and a nun. I think it was either in Pascal's Lettres Provinciales or in Coulton's [a later letter corrects the author's name to Henry C. Lea] History of Sacerdotal Celibacy. I think the latter the more probable." Statement is in "Outline of Intellectual Rubbish".
