Question 100 — Simony

We must now consider simony, under which head there are six points of inquiry:

(1) What is simony?

  • (2) Whether it is lawful to accept money for the sacraments?
  • (3) Whether it is lawful to accept money for spiritual actions?
  • (4) Whether it is lawful to sell things connected with spirituals?
  • (5) Whether real remuneration alone makes a man guilty of simony, or also oral remuneration or remuneration by service?
  • (6) Of the punishment of simony.
