'In agro dominico' - March 27, 1329
The papal bull condemning Meister Eckhart 

Articles 4-6 : Good and Evil

ELPENOR EDITIONS IN PRINT

The Original Greek New Testament

The fourth article. Also, in every work, even in an evil, Ι repeat, in one evil both according to punishment and guilt, God's glory is revealed and shines forth in equal fashion. 

The fifth article. Also, a person who disparages someone, by the disparagement itself, that is, by the sin of disparaging, praises God; and the more he disparages and the more gravely he sins, the more he praises God. 

The sixth article. Also, anyone who blasphemes God himself praises God.

Notes by Ellopos 

 

The scandal that these articles try to avoid, is what seemed to be a justification of everything. Worshipping God, to the degree that it involved moral commands, would become irrelevant, since all actions praise God.
