QUESTION 93

OF SUPERSTITION CONSISTING IN UNDUE WORSHIP OF THE TRUE GOD

(In Two Articles)

We must now consider the species of superstition. We shall treat (1)

Of the superstition which consists in giving undue worship to the true

God; (2) Of the superstition of idolatry; (3) of divinatory

superstition; (4) of the superstition of observances.

Under the first head there are two points of inquiry:

(1) Whether there can be anything pernicious in the worship of the

true God?

(2) Whether there can be anything superfluous therein?
