The musings and meandering thoughts of a crotchety old man as he observes life in the world and in a small, rural town in South East Nebraska. I hope to help people get to Heaven by sharing prayers, meditations, the lives of the Saints, and news of Church happenings. My Pledge: Nulla dies sine linea ~ Not a day without a line.

The Catechism of the Summa - The Second Part: XIII. OF THE DIVERSE GRAVITY OF SINS, AND OF THE PUNISHMENT DUE TO THEM (B)
(B)
Does every sin, as such, deserve to be punished?
Yes, every sin, as such, deserves to be punished
(LXXXVII. 1). Why does every sin, as such, deserve to be punished?
Because every sin, as such, is a trespassing of the free
will upon ground to which it has no right of entry; and
punishment is as it were a restitution, made by the will,
of this violation of right (LXXXVII. 1). The punishment therefore of sin is a question of strict justice?
Yes.

Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
