Theological Theses · §1275

Becanus: no venial is properly against the law’s end; all are somehow against law

Becanus: venial sin is never properly against the law’s end (charity).

Yet every venial is somehow against the law—perfectly or imperfectly.

Latin

XXIX. Quibus consentanea tradit Becanus Jesuita in Summa Theologiae Scholasticae, tomo secundo, tractatu secundo, capite secundo, quaestione septima, ubi haec est ejus prima conclusio, Nullum peccatum veniale est proprie contra finem legis. Secunda vero haec, Tametsi nullum peccatum veniale sit contra finem legis, omne tamen veniale est aliquo modo contra legem, sive perfecte, sive imperfecte.
