Paragraph 2094. One can sin against God's love in various ways: (2733, 2303)

  • indifference neglects or refuses to reflect on divine charity; it fails to consider its prevenient goodness and denies its power.

  • ingratitude fails or refuses to acknowledge divine charity and to return him love for love.

  • lukewarmness is hesitation or negligence in responding to divine love; it can imply refusal to give oneself over to the prompting of charity.

  • acedia or spiritual sloth goes so far as to refuse the joy that comes from God and to be repelled by divine goodness.

  • hatred of God comes from pride. It is contrary to love of God, whose goodness it denies, and whom it presumes to curse as the one who forbids sins and inflicts punishments.
Paragraph 1933. This same duty extends to those who think or act differently from us. The teaching of Christ goes so far as to require the forgiveness of offenses. He extends the commandment of love, which is that of the New Law, to all enemies. Liberation in the spirit of the Gospel is incompatible with hatred of one's enemy as a person, but not with hatred of the evil that he does as an enemy.
