QUESTION 37

OF DISCORD, WHICH IS CONTRARY TO PEACE

(In Two Articles)

We must now consider the sins contrary to peace, and first we shall

consider discord which is in the heart, secondly contention, which is

on the lips, thirdly, those things which consist in deeds, viz.

schism, quarrelling, war, and sedition. Under the first head there

are two points of inquiry:

(1) Whether discord is a sin?

(2) Whether it is a daughter of vainglory?
