Meeting with Ubertino of Casale

In the church, William and Adso meet Ubertino of Casale, an old friend of William's and a former Spiritual Franciscan now hiding in the abbey. Ubertino speaks passionately about the corruption of the church, the coming of the Antichrist, and his own persecution. He warns William about the dangers of pride and lust within the abbey, hinting at the sinful nature of the dead Adelmo. Their conversation reveals the deep theological and political divisions of the time.
