Question 89 — Of Venial Sin in Itself

We must now consider venial sin in itself, and under this head there are six points of inquiry:

(1) Whether venial sin causes a stain in the soul?

• (2) Of the different kinds of venial sin, as denoted by wood, hay, stubble (1 Cor 3:12);
• (3) Whether man could sin venially in the state of innocence?
• (4) Whether a good or a wicked angel can sin venially?
• (5) Whether the movements of unbelievers are venial sins?
• (6) Whether venial sin can be in a man with original sin alone?
