This natural law then speaks to all who are
under the law. From its precepts it appears to me that little children alone
are exempt, for whom the judgment of right and wrong does not yet exist. Now
whether those who, for whatever reason, are mentally incompetent ought to be
joined to these as well is a question which needs to be investigated. Apart
from these exceptions, however, no human being, it seems to me, escapes this
law. (Origen, Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans, Book 3, Chapter 6, in Commentary
on the Epistles to the Romans, Books 1-5 [trans. Thomas P. Scheck; The
Fathers of the Church 103; Washington, D. C.: The Catholic University of
America Press, 2001], 204)
