Theological Theses · §1301

Reformed reject Rome’s intrinsic venials—yet allow a commodious use of the names

Reformed deny Rome’s claim that some sins are by nature non-mortal.

They still allow mortal/venial labels when taken in a careful, commodious sense.

Latin

XXIV. Porro ex iis quae dicta sunt apparet Reformatos non probare distinctionem peccati in mortale & veniale, prout in Schola Romana communiter exponitur. Cum enim existiment omne peccatum per se, & natura sua poenam & mortem aeternam mereri, concedere non possunt peccata quaedam esse per se non mortalia, sed venialia. Attamen distinctionem istam non prorsus rejiciunt, sed commodo sensu illam usurpari posse fatentur.
