Of the Return of Sins Which Have Been Taken Away by Penance
We must now consider the return of sins which have been taken away by Penance: under which head there are four points of inquiry:(1) Whether sins which have been taken away by Penance return simply through a subsequent sin?(2) Whether more specially as regards certain sins they return, in a way, on account of ingratitude?(3) Whether the debt of punishment remains the same for sins thus returned?(4) Whether this ingratitude, on account of which sins return, is a special sin?
