Q18 Of The Effect Of The Keys
< previous   Prologue   next >

Prologue   A1   A2   A3   A4  

We must now consider the effect of the keys under which head there are four points of inquiry:

A1 Whether the power of the keys extends to the remission of guilt?

A2 Whether a priest can remit sin as to the punishment?

A3 Whether a priest can bind in virtue of the power of the keys?

A4 Whether he can loose and bind according to his own judgment?
