Title VI: Concerning Certain Kinds of Sins

¶1.

Usefulness. To fundamental Theology there pertain certain general indications concerning sins which are of such a nature that their generic explanation helps the understanding of special sins, or permits the logical arrangement of sins. Moreover, there will be two chapters of this title. In the first we shall treat of the subjective notion of certain sins, that is, of internal sins; in the other we shall treat of certain objective notions: that is, of capital sins, of sins against the Holy Spirit, and of sins which call down avenging wraths from heaven.
