ST Suppl., q. 56
Of the Impediment of Spiritual Relationship
Supplement — compiled posthumously from Aquinas's early Sentences commentary
We must now consider the impediment of spiritual relationship: under which head there are five points of inquiry:
(1) Whether spiritual relationship is an impediment to marriage?
(2) From what cause is it contracted?
(3) Between whom?
(4) Whether it passes from husband to wife?
(5) Whether it passes to the father's carnal children?
