Condign merit meritum de condigno is an aspect of Roman Catholic theology signifying a goodness that has bestowed because of the actions of that person. In opposition is congruent merit, a goodness bestowed on a person because of someone else, typically God. In some formulations of Calvinism , condign merit is not needed because Jesus Atonement in Christianity Atonement is a congruent merit where God gives merit. However, in Catholic theology, both are needed. Condign merit supposes an equality between service and return it is measured by commutative justice, and thus gives a real claim to a reward. Congruous merit, owing to its inadequacy and the lack of intrinsic proportion between the service and the recompense, claims a reward only on the ground of equity. This early scholastic distinction and terminology, which is already recognized in concept and substance by the Fathers of the Church in their controversies with the Pelagian s and Semipelagianism Semipelagians , were again emphasized by Johann Eck , the adversary of Martin Luther ref cf. Greying, Joh. Eck als junger Gelehrter, M nster, 1906, pp. 153 sqq. ref . The essential difference between condign merit and congruent merit is based on the fact that, besides those works which claim a remuneration under pain of violating strict justice as in contracts between employer and employee, in buying and selling, etc. , there are also other meritorious works which at most are entitled to reward or honour for reasons of equity or mere distributive justice , as in the case of gratuities and military decorations. From an ethical point of view the difference practically amounts to this that, if the reward due to condign merit be withheld ... restitution, while, in the case of congruous merit, to withhold the reward involves no violation ... of personal discrimination. Hence the reward of congruous merit always depends in great measure ... Merit Catholicism Atonement in Christianity Justification theology Sources Merit Catholic Encyclopedia ... more details

For other uses see Order of Merit disambiguation The merit order is a way of ranking available sources of energy, especially electrical generation, in ascending order of their short run marginal cost s of production, so that those with the lowest marginal costs are the first ones to be brought online to meet demand, and the plants with the highest marginal costs are the last to be brought on line. The merit order in the British electricity market The merit order was the method used in the electricity market of Great Britain when electrical power generation was the responsibility of a single integrated utility the CEGB . After privatisation of the sector this was replaced by a more complex bidding system, the electricity pool, in 1990 The effect of renewable energy on merit order Increasing the amount of renewable energy on sale lowers the average price per unit of electricity because of the merit order effect. This is because it counteracts the effects of peak demand . The price that UK consumers pay for electricity is the spot price at peak demand. In times of high demand, when the energy produced by every plant is being used the supply is topped up by peaker demand plants. These emergency plants charge a premium for their electricity. Wind energy has no marginal costs wind energy producers don t need to buy combustion fuel so their electricity is the cheapest and transmission companies buy from them first. Having a supply of very cheap wind electricity substantially reduces the amount of highly priced peak electricity that transmission companies need to buy and thus reduces the overall cost. http www.fraunhofer.de en research topics energy wind energy index.jsp A study by the Fraunhofer Institute in Karlsruhe , Germany found that windpower saves German consumers 5bn euros ... ref . ref cite journal last Sensfuss first Frank last2 Ragwitz first2 Mario title The merit order effect ... category Energy economics energy stub de Merit Order ... more details

refimprove date February 2008 The Treasury of Merit is the term used in the Roman Catholic Church describing the indulgence s or exchange of God s grace among the faithful. The Treasury of Merit was one of the core complaints of Martin Luther at the start of the Reformation in his The Ninety Five Theses . While Luther did not question that the Treasury of Merit existed, he rejected the belief that the Church had sole possession of it. He believed instead that God had given merits equally to everyone, and thus merits could not be sold by the Church. Early use According to Roman Catholic Church Roman Catholic theology, in the early days of the Church, the great saints accumulated merit , which is earned by all Catholics while doing good work on Earth. The Church had possession of these extra merits and could, in the Church s teaching, grant these in the form of indulgences . In the early church ecclesiastic authorities allowed a confessor or a Christian awaiting martyrdom to intercede for another Christian in order to shorten the time of the other s canon law canonical penance. ref name Oxford Plenary Cross, F. L., ed. The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church. New York Oxford University Press. 2005, article plenary indulgence ref The sixth century Council of Epaon witnesses to the rise of the practice of replacing severe canonical penances with something new and milder. It became customary to commute penance s to less demanding works, such as prayers, alms, fasts and even the payment of fixed sums of money depending on the various kinds of offences tariff penances . Theologians looked to God s mercy, the value of the Church s prayers, and the merits of the saints as the basis on which indulgences could be granted. Around 1230, the Dominican Hugh of St Cher proposed the idea of a Treasure House of Merit thesaurum satisfactionum Christi et Sanctorum at the Church s disposal, consisting of the infinite merits of Christ and the immeasurable abundance of the saints merits ... more details
