The Bible speaks briefly of Lucifer's Rebellion, which is the battle between the envious angel, Lucifer, and God. The first class of sinners, the neutral angels, decided to not play a part in this fight, which would naturally create a layer of disorder. Since these angels did not pick a side, they were susceptible to temptation from both sides of the war, and this temptation could result in greater amounts of damage to the holy realm. For example, if an angel on God's side attempted to recruit a neutral force, who's to say the force will not get offended? Thus, in turn, the neutral force could react in a way that is detrimental to both himself, and the holy angel. This allows us to understand what Virgil meant by saying they were removed from Heaven to protect its beauty from impair. The secondary class of sinners made a mistake similar to this during their physical existence: neither choosing to worship a deity, nor opposing
