Question 63 — Respect of Persons

We must now consider the vices opposed to the aforesaid parts of justice. First we shall consider respect of persons which is opposed to distributive justice; second we shall consider the vices opposed to commutative justice.

Under the first head there are four points of inquiry:

(1) Whether respect of persons is a sin?

• (2) Whether it takes place in the dispensation of spiritualities?
• (3) Whether it takes place in showing honor?
• (4) Whether it takes place in judicial sentences?
