Line 55: [[Albertus Magnus]] and [[Thomas Aquinas]] wrote that demons and the [[hierarchy of angels]] are created by God with the same non–[[material]] substance.{{cn\|date=December 2021}} Because they have no bodies they have no sexual identity and can not generate human beings or other angels.{{cn\|date=December 2021}} The [[incorporeality]] is related to their nature, [[eternity\|eternal]] and unchangeable across the centuries. [[Ulrich Molitor]] and [[Nicholas Remy]] disagreed ~~that~~whether women could be impregnated by demons. Remy thought that a woman could never be fecundated by any being other than a man. [[Heinrich Kramer]] (author of the ''[[Malleus Maleficarum]]'') adopted ~~again~~ an intermediate position; he wrote that demons acted first as succubi and then as incubi,<ref>Kramer, Heinrich and Sprenger, James (1486), Summers, Montague (translator; 1928), ''The Malleus Maleficarum'', Part 2, [http://www.sacred-texts.com/pag/mm/mm02b08a.htm Chapter VIII], "Certain Remedies prescribed against those Dark and Horrid Harms with which Devils may Afflict Men", at [http://www.sacred-texts.com sacred-texts.com]</ref> but added the possibility that incubi could receive [[semen]] from succubi, but he considered that this sperm could not fecundate women. [[Peter Paludanus\|Peter of Paluda]] and [[Martin of Arles]] among others supported the idea that demons could take sperm from dead men and impregnate women. Some demonologists thought that demons could take semen from dying or recently deceased men, and thus dead men should be buried as soon as possible to avoid it.{{cn}}
