 If the resistance is only partial, there is violence only under a certain respect (secundum quid).

2. The elicited acts of the will cannot be forced by violence, for in that case the agent would will and not will at the same time.

3. The other internal faculties, and much more the external faculties of man, may be subject to violence. If the violence is absolute, the resulting action is involuntary and not imputable to him who suffers violence; if the resistance is only partial, the action will be voluntary to a certain extent, and in the same degree it will be imputable to the agent (Can. 2205, sec. i; 2218, sec. 2).
