venially การใช้

• An act, when it is not ordered towards that which is good, is considered to be sinful  either venially or mortally.
• When such an act is venially sinful, it entails subject-matter that is not considered to be " grave . " Such an action, even if it is committed with full knowledge and full consent, remains venial, so long as the subject-matter of the act is not serious.
• Those who believe in an influence exercised on St . Francis in recasting the third rule appeal to the following points : Firstly, in a letter ( Opuscula S . Francisci, Quaracchi, 1904, ep . iii, p . 108 sq . ) which St . Francis wrote to a certain minister, perhaps to Elias, he proposes that at the next chapter of Whitsuntide a chapter of the rule should be written to the effect that if any brother has sinned venially and humbly owns it, they ( the ministers or the priests ) shall " have absolutely no power of enjoining other penance save only this : go and sin no more . " Now in c . vii of the third rule only merciful treatment of sinning brothers in general is recommended.
