Excerpt from Church Matters in 1850: A Call to Speak Out The duty of breaking communion, when it exists, rests, in some cases, on purely moral grounds; in some, also, on grounds which may be called sacramental. The first, set forth in such passages as Rom. Xvi. 17; 2 Tim. Iii. 5 2 John, 10. Now this is what moralists call a duty of imperfect obligation zle. Though it is always binding as a principle, the manner and degree of its action must be modified by each trian's circumstances; it is like the duty of avoiding bad company in general. It is not this with which our present argument is concerned. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
