The question of the difference between \u201cvenial\u201d and \u201cmortal\u201d sin was addressed by the Scholastics, including Saint Thomas Aquinas.\u00a0 Aquinas defined \u201cmortal\u201d sin as a disorder concerning the end itself and a \u201cvenial\u201d sin as a disorder concerning the means.<\/p>\n
[From the perspective of the intersecting nested forms, the \u201cend itself\u201d corresponds to \u201chow sin is conceived and contextualized\u201d. That corresponds to consciencelacking<\/sup> and thinkgroup<\/sup>.\u00a0 Mortal sins serve to habituate the former and reify the latter.\u00a0 This precisely fits Aquinas concept of \u201cmortal sin\u201d as “a disorder concerning the end itself”.<\/p>\n At the same time, the intersecting nested forms reveal another dimension.\u00a0 Sinful acts also participate in the nested form along the horizontal axis.<\/p>\n Sinful acts reward certain dispositions over others.\u00a0 Since both dispositions and conscience belong to the monadic realm of possibility, they cannot be totally distinguished, so the appeasing of dispositions and the fixing consciencelacking<\/sup> may feel indistinguishable.]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Summary of text [comment] page 29 The question of the difference between \u201cvenial\u201d and \u201cmortal\u201d sin was addressed by the Scholastics, including Saint Thomas Aquinas.\u00a0 Aquinas defined \u201cmortal\u201d sin as a disorder concerning the end itself and a \u201cvenial\u201d sin as a disorder concerning the means.
