Prologue A[1] A[2] A[3]
We must now consider absolution from excommunication: under which head there are three points of inquiry:
A[1] Whether any priest can absolve his subject from excommunication?
A[2] Whether a man can be absolved from excommunication against his will?
A[3] Whether a man can be absolved from one excommunication without being absolved from another?
