[2] No doubt, there are authors who with FR. MARCHETTI, (Rev.d’Ascétique et de Mystique, Jan. 1920, p.36-47), are of the opinion that sinners must be included in the purgative way in order to convert them, yet he admits that in this he does not follow the common teaching. The conversion of sinners and the means to be suggested to them that they may persevere in the state of grace, belong rather to the province of Moral than of Ascetic theology. We may say, however, that the motives we shall soon propose as deterrents from mortal sin will be a confirmation of those given by Moral theology. [1] Interior Castle, First Mansion.
