Erasmus did what he could to convince evil-thinkers that the purpose of the Moria was no other than to exhort people to be virtuous.

The next day the same thing happened; but now, while still apparently insensible to all about her, she began to talk, affirming that she was in heaven and in the company of numerous spirits, whom she described, naming among others the spirit of her brother who had died when she was only three years old.
