- Summary:
- "Venere ed Imene al tribunale della penitenza: manuale dei confessori" by Monsignor Bouvier is a theological manual written in the late 19th century. The work is aimed specifically at priests and deacons, focusing on the examination of moral issues surrounding the Sixth Commandment of the Decalogue and the obligations of matrimony. The text addresses a range of topics related to lust and sexual morality, intending to provide clear guidance for confessors to help navigate the complexities of these subjects in their ministerial duties. The opening of the manual outlines its intention to bridge the gap in moral theology that has led to confusion and indecision among confessors regarding sins against chastity and the duties of spouses. It emphasizes that this text is designed to be a practical guide for confessors, discussing various types of lust, including fornication, adultery, and incest, while also considering the importance of prudence and correct doctrine. Bouvier stresses the need for caution, clear reasoning, and a strong commitment to maintaining moral integrity within both the clergy and laity, as they confront the temptations of desire and sin in everyday life.
