Note 582 — Chapter III · ABUSE OF POWER BY THE MINISTER OF THE SACRAMENT

Richard F. (Richard Frederick) Clarke translation

Lugo, Disput. 16, nn. 432 sq.; Ballerini, Not. ad Gury, II. n. 502; Lehmkuhl, l. c. n. 340; Aertnys, l. c. 248, Q. I and II. Although St. Alphonsus (Lib. VI. n. 492) admits that the penitent is sometimes obliged to make known the complex in order to avert a great evil, yet he dares not maintain, in view of the strict prohibition of the Pope, that the confessor is ever allowed to ask the name of the complex. He has not sufficiently considered the word passim—and the other words, doctrinas veras et sanas male applicando—in the constitution of Benedict.
