Q34 Of Hatred
< previous   Prologue   next >

Prologue   A1   A2   A3   A4   A5   A6  

We must how consider the vices opposed to charity: (1) hatred, which is opposed to love; (2) sloth and envy, which are opposed to the joy of charity; (3) discord and schism, which are contrary to peace; (4) offense and scandal, which are contrary to beneficence and fraternal correction.

Under the first head there are six points of inquiry:

A1 Whether it is possible to hate God?

A2 Whether hatred of God is the greatest of sins?

A3 Whether hatred of one's neighbor is always a sin?

A4 Whether it is the greatest of all sins against our neighbor?

A5 Whether it is a capital sin?

A6 From what capital sin does it arise?
