< previous   Prologue   next >

Prologue   A1   A2   A3   A4   A5   A6   A7   A8   A9   A10  

We must now consider the comparison of one sin with another: under which head there are ten points of inquiry:

A1 Whether all sins and vices are connected with one another?

A2 Whether all are equal?

A3 Whether the gravity of sin depends on its object?

A4 Whether it depends on the excellence of the virtue to which it is opposed?

A5 Whether carnal sins are more grievous than spiritual sins?

A6 Whether the gravity of sins depends on their causes?

A7 Whether it depends on their circumstances?

A8 Whether it depends on how much harm ensues?

A9 Whether on the position of the person sinned against?

A10 Whether sin is aggravated by reason of the excellence of the person sinning?
