St. Thomas Aquinas: The Summa Theologica on Penance
The sacrament of Penance -- Penance as a virtue -- The effect of Penance, as regards the pardon of mortal sin -- The remission of venial sin -- The return of sins which have been taken away by Penance -- The recovery of virtue by means of Penance
St. Thomas never completed his treatise on Penance. The remainder of the Summa Theologica, known as the Supplement, was compiled probably by his companion and friend Fra Rainaldo da Piperno, and was gathered from St. Thomas's commentary on the Fourth Book of the Sentences of Peter Lombard.
The parts of Penance, in general -- The object of contrition -- The degree of contrition -- The time for contrition -- The effect of contrition -- Confession, as regards its necessity -- The nature of confession -- The minister of confession -- The quality of confession -- The effect of confession -- The seal of confession -- Satisfaction, as to its nature -- The possibility of satisfaction -- The quality of satisfaction -- The means of making satisfaction -- Those who receive the sacrament of penance -- The power of the keys -- The effect of the keys -- The ministers of the keys -- Those on whom the power of the keys Can be exercised -- The solemn rite of penance
