Listen now | From the audiobook Explanation of Catholic Morals - Chapter 75 differentiates between general enmity, which can exist towards groups or ideas opposing one's interests and may be compatible with patriotism (though lacking high charity), and personal enmity, which involves individual hatred arising from direct injury. The text asserts that personal enemies must be forgiven and hatred quelled, as it is incompatible with the love of God. Forgiveness requires not only sincere internal disposition but also outward manifestation through ordinary civilities to end discord and remove scandal, though it does not necessitate a special friendship. If one has caused offense, they are bound to make the first move toward reconciliation and apologize, and refusing such advances from an offending party is sinful. The chapter concludes that while forgiveness is mandatory, seeking indemnification for damages through legal means is permissible and not opposed to charity.
