Treated under the broader heading Contracts — McHugh–Callan, Moral Theology · Bucceroni, Institutions of Moral Theology · Bucceroni, Cases of Conscience · Koch–Preuss · Vermeersch, Theologia Moralis · Concina, Compendium · Slater, Cases I · Rickaby, Moral Philosophy · Coppens, Moral Philosophy · 1917 Code of Canon Law — these works do not divide the matter as finely as we do here, so their treatment stands one heading up (ed.)
