Annotation LV

”Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened,” etc. — Matthew 11:28

Absolution.

John Ferus, in the second book of [his] commentaries on Matthew, illustrating this sentence by an exposition, seemed to affirm that priests, in sacramental absolution, do not remit sins, but only pronounce and attest that they have been remitted by God to the penitent. See above, Annotation 45 of this book.
