4.69

Fourth, having the complete four conditions: 1. it is meat, because if it is not meat there is no offense; 2. it is the meat of another, because eating one's own flesh is not a direct offense; 3. giving rise to the perception that it is meat, because if one is mistaken there is no offense; 4. an offense is committed as soon as it enters the mouth, because if one does not eat it there is no fault.
