| ### QUESTION 88 ### OF THE RETURN OF SINS WHICH HAVE BEEN TAKEN AWAY BY PENANCE ###  |

| #### Prologue |

| #### #### We must now consider the return of sins which have been taken away by Penance: under which head there are four points of inquiry: #### (1) Whether sins which have been taken away by Penance return simply through a subsequent sin? #### (2) Whether more specially as regards certain sins they return, in a way, on account of ingratitude? #### (3) Whether the debt of punishment remains the same for sins thus returned? #### (4) Whether this ingratitude, on account of which sins return, is a special sin? ####  |
