Theological Theses · §1487

The three cult-species are analogical, not univocal under one genus

Roman doctors deny one univocal genus for the three cults—only analogy of proportion.

As ‘excellence’ is not univocal of God and creatures, neither is ‘cult’ owed for excellence.

Latin

VII. Praeterea observant Scholae Romanae Doctores has tres cultus species non esse univocas, id est, ejusdem rationis, nec sub eodem univoco genere contineri: sed esse tantum analogas propter quandam proportionis similitudinem, quae est inter excellentiam divinam & cultum qui illi debetur, & excellentiam creatam ac cultum qui illi respondet. Caeterum quemadmodum excellentia non dicitur univoce, & eadem ratione, de excellentia Dei & creaturarum: ita cultum debitum ob excellentiam docent non posse univoce dici de cultu Dei & creaturarum.
