Omission

1910 New Catholic Dictionary

(Latin: omittere, lay aside, pass over)

Inertia of the will in despite of the intellect which urges it to act; or the quasi-positive act of withholding the dictated action. Morally, it presupposes that the intellect is urging some law or precept, and is then culpable in the same fashion as a culpable positive act.
