QUESTION 101

OF PIETY

(In Four Articles)

After religion we must consider piety, the consideration of which

will render the opposite vices manifest. Accordingly four points of

inquiry arise with regard to piety:

(1) To whom does piety extend?

(2) What does piety make one offer a person?

(3) Whether piety is a special virtue?

(4) Whether the duties of piety should be omitted for the sake of

religion?
