QUESTION 25

OF THE ADORATION OF CHRIST

(In Six Articles)

We have now to consider things pertaining to Christ in reference to

us; and first, the adoration of Christ, by which we adore Him;

secondly, we must consider how He is our Mediator with God.

Under the first head there are six points of inquiry:

(1) Whether Christ's Godhead and humanity are to be adored with one

and the same adoration?

(2) Whether His flesh is to be adored with the adoration of _latria?_

(3) Whether the adoration of _latria_ is to be given to the image of

Christ?

(4) Whether _latria_ is to be given to the Cross of Christ?

(5) Whether to His Mother?

(6) Concerning the adoration of the relics of Saints.
