Q89 Of The Recovery Of Virtue By Means Of Penance
< previous   Prologue   next >

Prologue   A1   A2   A3   A4   A5   A6  

We must now consider the recovery of virtues by means of Penance, under which head there are six points of inquiry:

A1 Whether virtues are restored through Penance?

A2 Whether they are restored in equal measure?

A3 Whether equal dignity is restored to the penitent?

A4 Whether works of virtue are deadened by subsequent sin?

A5 Whether works deadened by sin revive through Penance?

A6 Whether dead works, i. e. works that are done without charity, are quickened by Penance?
