Talk:Perfect contrition

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I suggest merging attrition (called here in Wikipedia "imperfect contrition") with this article, which we should eventually rename Contrition and attrition in order to cover the debate and respective roles of each. It seems that the majority of authors consider that pure attrition is not possible, making it a quite theoretical question. On the other hand, this question, lifted but not settled during the Council of Trent, was one of the reason of the debate between Jansenists and Jesuits. Spirals31 (talk) 17:56, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
