medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Or, maybe, not ...
Dear medieval-religion colleagues,
I hope you can advise me on a couple of queries concerning sin in the later Middle Ages.
The first has to do with cowardice. Does this ever appear, clearly and distinctly, as a 'deadly' or 'capital' sin (as opposed to, for example, one of a sub-set of other 'minor' sins under the category of a 'major' one such as sloth)?
The second is extremely basic: is 'sin' equivalent to 'vice'?
Thanks, as always, for your help.
All good wishes,
George
