Question

Using the chart that provides information on how to analyze sin, offer an analysis of one circle of sinners in the Inferno. Include at least 3 elements from the chart. In your reply to other students, be sure that one of your posts refers to a group of sinners not covered in your original post.

Answer 1

Hello. You did not provide the graph to which the question refers, which may leave the answer a little inaccurate, but I hope I can help.

Answer:

The chosen cycle was the first.

Explanation:

The first cycle is for pagans, but not for those who have committed the sin of refusing to accept Christ as lord and savior, but for so-called virtuous pagans. These pagans are people who were good while alive and who assumed a life of kindness, generosity, forgiveness and good fruit, but who did not know Christianity, either because they died before Christ became a man and was sacrificed for humanity, or, because they died as soon as they were born and were not then baptized.

The punishment for these souls is lighter, since their sins could not be controlled by them and is characterized only by the fact that they did not know Christianity or were not purified, as Christ determines. In this way, the punishment for their sin is to stay in limbo, without being able to be sent to paradise and eternal rest.
