CCC 1736

Every act directly willed is imputable to its author:

Thus the Lord asked Eve after the sin in the garden: "What is this that you have done?"²⁹ Gen 3:13. He asked Cain the same question.³⁰ Cf. Gen 4:10. The prophet Nathan questioned David in the same way after he committed adultery with the wife of Uriah and had him murdered.³¹ Cf. 2 Sam 12:7-15. An action can be indirectly voluntary when it results from negligence regarding something one should have known or done: for example, an accident arising from ignorance of traffic laws.
