What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Gregory the Dialogist
Who departed from Him, as it were on purpose. For we must understand that a sin is committed in three ways. For it is perpetrated either through ignorance, or infirmity, or of set purpose. And we sin more grievously from infirmity than through ignorance, but much more grievously of set purpose than from infirmity. Paul had sinned from ignorance, when he said, Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious, but I obtained mercy, because 1 did it ignorantly in unbelief. [1 Tim. …
Thomas Aquinas
But they themselves have rejected this and so he says, "who have departed from him almost on purpose," from God in sinning from certain malice. He therefore posits that there is affected ignorance in them when he then says, "and they did not wish to understand all of his ways," the commandments of God, and so it is clear that they are not excused because of ignorance but because they are more worthy of condemnation.
