_Gobatus_ published a work which he entitled, "Morality," and in vol.
2, part 2, tract 5, chap. 9, sec. 8, p. 318, is the following
_edifying_ specimen of Popish morals: "Persons may innocently desire to
be drunk, if any great good will arise from it. A son who inherits
wealth by his father's death, may rejoice that when he is intoxicated,
he murdered his father." According to which combined propositions, a
man may make himself drunk expressly to kill his parent, and yet be
guiltless.
_Busenbaum_ wrote a work denominated "Moral Theology." which was
enlarged and explained by _Lacroix_. In vol. 1, p. 295, is the
following position: "In all the cases where a man has a right to kill
any person, another may do it for him." But we have already heard by
_Escobar_ that any "Roman Priest has a right to kill Maria Monk; and
therefore any Papist may murder her for them."
_Alagona_, in his "Compend of the Sum of Theology," by Thomas Aquinas,
question 94, p. 230, "Sums" up all the Romish system in this
comprehensively blasphemous oracular adage. "_By the command of God, it
is lawful to murder the innocent, to rob, and to commit lewdness; and
thus to fulfil his mandate, is our duty_."
_The seventh commandment._--In his Aphorisms, p. 80, and p. 259, _Sa_
thus decides--"Copulari ante benedictionem, aut nullam aut leve
peceatum est; quin etiam expedit, si multum isla differatur."--"Potest
et femina quaeque et mas, pro turpi corporis usu, pretium, accipere et
petere."
_Hurtado_ issued a volume of "Disputations and Difficulties." At p. 476
is the following genuine Popish rule of life--"Carnal intercourse
before marriage is not unlawful." So teaches that Jesuit oracle.
_Dicastillo_, in his work upon "Righteousness and other cardinal
Virtues," p. 87, thus asks--"An puella, quae per vin opprimitur
teneatur clamare et opem implorare ne violetur?" The answer is
this--"Non videtur teneri impedire peccatum alterius--sed mere passive
se habere."
_Escobar_, in his "Moral Theology," p. 326, 327, 328, of vol. 4,
determines that "a man who abducts a woman from affection expressly to
marry her, is guilty of mortal sin, but a Priest who forcibly violates
her through lust, incurs no censure."
_Tamburin_ unfolds the character of Romanism in his "Moral Theology,"
p. 186, in a lengthened discussion of the following characteristic
inquiry--"Quantum pro usu corporis sui juste exigat mulier?"--The reply
is, "de meretrice et de femina honesta sive conjugata, ant non."
_Fegeli_ wrote a book of "Practical Questions;" and on p. 397, is the
following--"Under what obligation is he who defiles a virgin?"--The
answer is this--"Besides the obligation of penance, he incurs none;
quia puella habet jus usum sui corporis concedendi."
