We must now consider the sins opposed to justice, whereby a man injures his neighbor in his belongings; namely theft and robbery.
Under this head there are nine points of inquiry:
A1 Whether it is natural to man to possess external things?
A2 Whether it is lawful for a man to possess something as his own?
A3 Whether theft is the secret taking of another's property?
A4 Whether robbery is a species of sin distinct from theft?
A5 Whether every theft is a sin?
A6 Whether theft is a mortal sin?
A7 Whether it is lawful to thieve in a case of necessity?
A8 Whether every robbery is a mortal sin?
A9 Whether robbery is a more grievous sin than theft?
