[¶0] (E) BY SINS COMMITTED IN LOANS (Q 78)

[¶1] OF THE SIN OF USURY (FOUR ARTICLES)

[¶2] We must now consider the sin of usury, which is committed in loans: and under this head there are four points of inquiry:

[¶3] (1) Whether it is a sin to take money as a price for money lent, which is to receive usury?

[¶4] (2) Whether it is lawful to lend money for any other kind of consideration, by way of payment for the loan?

[¶5] (3) Whether a man is bound to restore just gains derived from money taken in usury?

[¶6] (4) Whether it is lawful to borrow money under a condition of usury?
