Meaning of sortes sanctorum by furoya





furoya

sortes sanctorum
  30

In Christianity it is the prediction with divine guidance, usually said of bibliomancy when the Bible is used as a means of consultation. For Catholicism it must be practiced by clerics and not by laymen or pagans, otherwise it becomes sortes diabolorum ("diabolical oracles"). The Latin locution sortes sanctorum can be interpreted as "fulfilled oracles", and is formed by the plurals of sors ("oracle, faith, destiny", also "divination tool") and of the participle of the verb sancio ("to confirm, ratify, fulfill prophecy"), which is related to sanctus, i ("holy").
