Man and Sin by Piet Schoonenberg (1964) 1.5AC

Summary of text [comment] page 37

Many theologians speak of an analogy between venial and mortal sin.

Venial and mortal differ in intensity.

[One would think that “gravity2” and “intensity” would be synonyms.  They are not.  “Gravity” implies two realms.  “Intensity” implies one.

So I may ask: Is there an analogy or a commonality to venial and mortal sins?

Are mortal sin and venial sin different species of the same genus?

The idea of “kind” draws my imagination to the exclusive yet interpellating vertical nested forms in the intersecting nested forms.

Thinkgroup3( human action2(consciencelacking1)) and thinkdivine3( human action2(consciencefree1)) have the same structure, even though they are exclusive yet interpellating.

Does this make them of the same kind?]
