How To Use inordinateness In A Sentence

  • On the part of sin, there are two things which may withdraw man therefrom: one is the inordinateness and shamefulness of the act, the consideration of which is wont to arouse man to repentance for the sin he has committed, and against this there is "impenitence," not as denoting permanence in sin until death, in which sense it was taken above (for thus it would not be a special sin, but a circumstance of sin), but as denoting the purpose of not repenting. Summa Theologica, Part II-II (Secunda Secundae) Translated by Fathers of the English Dominican Province
