Chamier: absent-capable honors are due; genuflection, greeting, and gifts to the needy are not
Chamier holds that honor of the Saints is the same in kind as honor of the living, and differs only by being stronger or weaker.
Degree does not change the species.
Acts that can be paid to people who are absent are due; genuflection, greeting, and bowing, which need presence, are not.
Still less are gifts for the needy, such as clothes, lights, bread, and wine.
Latin
XXXII. Id inter alios observat Daniel Chamierus. Postquam enim constituit eum honorem qui Sanctis deferendus est, esse eundem specie, cum eo quem vivis deferri oportet, & ab eo differre tantum intensione & remissione, quae varios quidem gradus efficiunt, sed non variant species: notat distinguendum esse quoad actus honoris illius. Quosdam enim Sanctis deberi: ut qui deferri possunt quibuslibet hominibus absentibus. At quaecunque praesentibus tantum deferuntur, ut genuflexiones, salutationes, inclinationes, similiaque multa, ea non deberi Sanctis: & multo magis quae indigentibus, ut vestes, lumina, panem, vinum.
