Chapter — Billuart, Summa Summae · from Schola Thomistica
On the Comparison of Sins with One Another
false, and if taken only as the effect of an angry mind belching forth indifferently whatever occurs, as often happens among quarreling women, they seem to be one sin, since there is no injury of honor or of fame, but each insult, though different, tends to this, that it irritate and offend the other. But if these are reckoned to be true and are truly imputed, there will be as many sins as there are insults of different kinds.
falsa, et dumtaxat ut effectus irati animi quidquid occurrat indifferenter eructantis, ut saepe contingit inter mulierculas rixantes, videntur esse unum peccatum, cum nulla sit honoris vel famae laesio, sed quodlibet convicium, licet diversum, in hoc tendat, ut alterum irritet et offendat. Si vero haec reputentur vera et vere imputari, tot erunt peccata, quod erunt convicia diversae rationis.
