Friar Ambrosius Catarinus, following the Doctrine of Thomas, zmaintained in the Council of Trent, that to do a good work, the concurrence of all circumstances is necessary, but the want of one only is sufficient for an evil: so that howsoever among the works considered in general, some are indifferent, yet in the singular, there is no medium between having all the circumstances and wanting some; therefore every particular action is good or evil. And because among the circumstances, the end is one, all works referred to a bad end are infected. He further alleged S. Augustine, that it is sin not only to refer the action to a bad end, but also not to refer it to a good end. Thus spake the learned Friar very appositely. And the same is the judgment of our own Divines. De his rebus indifferentibus saith aMartyr, statuendum est, quod tantummodo ex genere atque natura sua. indifferentiam habeant, sed qnando ad electionem descenditur nihil est indifferens. And so saith bPareus likewise.
