Since then sin, on the 2164 2, 75 | an accidental efficient cause, and on the part of the 2165 2, 75 | act, a direct ~efficient cause, it follows that the inordinateness 2166 2, 75 | sin is a result ~of the cause of the act. Accordingly 2167 2, 75 | and how this evil has a ~cause, has been explained.~Aquin.: 2168 2, 75 | understood as applying to a cause which is sufficient and 2169 2, 75 | thing is the sufficient cause of something else, ~and 2170 2, 75 | Accordingly, though sin ~has a cause, it does not follow that 2171 2, 75 | that this is a necessary cause, since its ~effect can be 2172 2, 75 | of the Divine law, is the cause of sin.
