Chapter 3: The vestibule of hell
Dante meets a group of people at the gate of hell who in their lives did not choose good but neather did they choose evil so they are suffering at the gate of hell because neather hell or heaven would open their gates for them. He refers to pope Celestive V who went back from being a pope only after 5 months because he was not into politics. Dante blamed him a lot for doing nothing.
