Question 34 — Hatred

We must now consider the vices opposed to charity: (1) hatred, which is opposed to love; (2) sloth and envy, which are opposed to the joy of charity; (3) discord and schism, which are contrary to peace; (4) offense and scandal, which are contrary to beneficence and fraternal correction.

Under the first head there are six points of inquiry:

(1) Whether it is possible to hate God?

• (2) Whether hatred of God is the greatest of sins?
• (3) Whether hatred of one’s neighbor is always a sin?
• (4) Whether it is the greatest of all sins against our neighbor?
• (5) Whether it is a capital sin?
• (6) From what capital sin does it arise?
