Question 118 — Covetousness

We must now consider the vices opposed to liberality: and (1) covetousness; (2) prodigality.

Under the first head there are eight points of inquiry:

(1) Whether covetousness is a sin?

• (2) Whether it is a special sin?
• (3) To which virtue it is opposed;
• (4) Whether it is a mortal sin?
• (5) Whether it is the most grievous of sins?
• (6) Whether it is a sin of the flesh or a spiritual sin?
• (7) Whether it is a capital vice?
• (8) Of its daughters.
