Theological Theses · §1253

Venial of its kind: disordered object that still does not fight charity

A venial-of-its-kind act aims at something disordered that still does not war with charity—idle talk, excess mirth, and the like.

Mortals of their kind (perjury, adultery) openly clash with love of God and neighbor.

Latin

VII. Peccata venialia ex genere suo vocant, ea quae habent quidem pro objecto rem malam & inordinatam; sed quae charitati Dei & proximi non repugnat. Quale est verbum otiosum, risus nimius, & alia id genus. Et his opponunt peccata mortalia ex genere suo, ut perjurium, adulterium, & similia; quae aperte cum charitate Dei & proximi pugnant.
