His Moral System, as Our Authors Report It
Every report quoted in the author's own words and linked to its place; point at a name to see his words. Haringer's signs give St. Alphonsus's judgment as Haringer found it in St. Alphonsus's works (his notice, Gury-Ballerini, 1884, p. XI); a sign on a writer the 1884 editor added to the list is the editor's own, and is said to be his.

| “Chapter II — A census of propositions which seem lax, culled from the Casuists … XI. "That anyone be held as a heretic in the internal forum, it is needful that he know and advert that in his opinion he proceeds against what has been defined by the Church, contemning her authority."”Concina lists among the lax opinions of the casuists (on faith) | Concina, Compendium I, bk. III, diss. I, ch. II, n. XI |
| “Chapter II — The lax propositions of the casuists … V. Torrecilla, Vol. II, Sum, tract 4, disputation 1, chapter 4, no. 5: “An infant in the mother's womb is capable of baptism, even if no part of him come forth, provided water can be introduced there.””Concina lists among the lax opinions of the casuists (on the sacraments: baptism, confirmation, the Eucharist and the Mass) | Concina, Compendium II, bk. X, diss. I, ch. II, n. V |

X, diss. I, ch. II, n. VI |
| “Chapter II — The lax propositions of the casuists … VII. The same in the same place, chapter 3, no. 8: “By necessity of the sacrament it is not required in confirmation that the unction be made with the bishop's finger: for it suffices for validity that it be made with some instrument.””Concina lists among the lax opinions of the casuists (on the sacraments: baptism, confirmation, the Eucharist and the Mass) | Concina, Compendium II, bk. X, diss. I, ch. II, n. VII |
| “Chapter IV — Lax, or improbable, propositions are reviewed, which not a few Casuists teach … XXIV.

| “Chapter IV — Lax, or improbable, propositions are reviewed, which not a few Casuists teach … XXV. "Although words, considered in themselves, may not be equivocal, nonetheless, by reason of the circumstances of place, time, office, of the one questioning, and of the one responding, etc., a restriction, which would otherwise be purely mental, can become sensible, and excused from lying and perjury, and can become lawful with just cause for its use."”Concina lists among the lax opinions of the casuists (on the oath) | Concina, Theologia V, diss. I, ch. IV, n. XXV |
| “Chapter IV — Lax, or improbable, propositions are reviewed, which not a few Casuists teach … XXVI. "Indeed, it is not even necessary for the one swearing, or testifying, to recognize the specific manner by which he can conceal the truth. For it suffices, especially for the unlearned, that, although he uses denying words, he add in his mind, 'I wish to conceal the truth, without lying, or perjuring myself, in some way in which the Doctors teach this can be done.'" The same, ibid., n. 135; he cites Sánchez, Suárez, Castropalao, and others.”Concina lists among the lax opinions of the casuists (on the oath) | Concina, Theologia V, diss. I, ch. IV, n. XXVI |
