Question 14 — Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit

We must now consider in particular blasphemy against the Holy Spirit: under which head there are four points of inquiry:

(1) Whether blasphemy or the sin against the Holy Spirit is the same as the sin committed through certain malice?

• (2) Of the species of this sin;
• (3) Whether it can be forgiven?
• (4) Whether it is possible to begin by sinning against the Holy Spirit before committing other sins?
