Plural of culpa; plural form of the Latin word for fault or blame (used in ecclesiastical and legal contexts).
Latin genitive and nominative plural of culpa (fault). This form appears in theological texts, canon law, and formal Latin discussions of moral responsibility.
In medieval theology, scholars debated 'culpae' (faults) with precision—the plural form allowed them to distinguish between different types of blame, which mattered hugely for religious confession and penance.
