Annotation XXXII
”For if you forgive men their sins,” etc. — Matthew 6:14
On the forgiveness of injury.
Thomas Cajetan, in [his] commentaries, says that if anyone forgives injuries from the heart for God’s sake, even if he persists in fornication, God will at length convert him to penance and pardon him all [his] offenses. Ambrose [Catharinus], bishop of Compsa, condemns this opinion in the second book of [his] Annotations, because it affords an occasion of fornicating and of persisting in fornication.
