1313. 'Which the sons of man were building' means which they fabricated for themselves. This is clear without explanation. 'Sons of man' here are members of the Church, for people who do not belong to the Church and do not possess cognitions of faith are incapable of fabricating such things. The fact that such people are incapable of profaning holy things has been shown already in 301-303, 593.
