QUESTION 34

OF THE PERFECTION OF THE CHILD CONCEIVED

(In Four Articles)

We must now consider the perfection of the child conceived: and

concerning this there are four points of inquiry:

(1) Whether Christ was sanctified by grace in the first instant of

His conception?

(2) Whether in that same instant He had the use of free-will?

(3) Whether in that same instant He could merit?

(4) Whether in that same instant He was a perfect comprehensor?
