Original Douay–Rheims Annotations2 Corinthians 7

Sorry to penance.

^[1] The sorrow which a man taketh for worldly losses or any temporal adversity, is not here commended, but that which is and ought to be in all men for their sins past, which is called here, Sorrow towards God and for penance, otherwise called Contrition, and is a thing exceedingly requisite and much praised, the fruits whereof are these that the Apostle reckoneth, working salvation. Which doctrine is far distant from ^[2] Luther's, and Calvin's, and such wicked Libertines, that teach contrition to be all together a means to make sinners either hypocrites, or to put them in despair.

• 1 Contrition for a man's sin worketh salvation.
• 2 * To. 2. in assert. art. 6. a Leone damnat.
