I have just started to study seriously Aquinas ad I have found this very useful channel, and of the few professors or lecturers that I have come across, this fella here seems to have the best grasp of the thought of Aquinas, and then how to exspound upon that thought in a way that is excesable to me. And I still haven't found anyone who can explain how essence and existence are the same in God, as Aquinas argues.
The philosophical theology of Aquinas was heavily influenced by Islamic Neo-Platonism. Al-Farabi and Avicenna immensely impacted both the philosophy and theology in the Western tradition.
If akin color,like hair color or height etc. is an accident, ii the sex we are born with part of our essence and not an accident, and in that case hasn't our culture got it all backward, i.e. dividing everyone by race but encouraging people to change their gender or take on one of 57 others?
Nor would he refer to Microwaves and Automobiles. One can use modern language, which changes and evolves in a Catholic context. An example is (true story, which I use with Protestants who say that the Bible is self interpreting) My father and grandfather both had thick curly black hair when they were young. By age 50 they were both completely bald. I have followed their pattern, and by 50 I too was completely bald. Describe my head. Well most will say that I have no hair. But the truth is that Bald is an old English word, and the original use (ie at the time the KJV was translated, using the DR as an aside.) the word Bald meant both hairless and having white hair. Like the Bald Eagle in the USA. Well I have a full head of hair, like my father and grandfather, and it's white, or grey depending on who you ask. Truths don't change, but sometimes our vocabulary can.
@@carolynkimberly4021 Of that there is no argument on my side, it can indeed. However in the Context which Fr. Pine spoke, it is fully Catholic. No need to count how many uses of the word evolution could dance on the head of a pin here. There are many a video out there which do twist and contort the authentic teachings of SME to make them try to say something contrary
@@thomasfolio4357 Fr. Pine is a darling. As I texted, his generation of priests stand head and shoulders above those in the first 40 years post V2. I know from my own exp. in the 90's. Seminarians were taught a theology so contrary to Tradition and the Deposit of Faith, that they were ordained as Protestant ministers in truth. Only since Pope Benedict's Motto Proprio ressurecting the Catholic Mass, did young people and seminarians finally discover the birthright stolen from their parents and grandparents. The V2 theologians, heretics all, have been toppled. St.Thomas Aquinas, the infallible Council of Trent, and non-Protestant scripture scholarship which believes in the supernatural, is being restored. When I think of the destruction of the Faith during my lifetime, I'm sickened and enraged. I am particularly insensed by the ambiguous language deliberately used in the documents of V2 and now flowering in the writings and careless speech of the present Pope. Bring back Latin and the precision of the Scholastics.
@@carolynkimberly4021 Before returning to Full Communion with the Church, my formation was at a SSPX seminary. I know the priests you speak of. I recently went to supply a local parish where they needed a priest to offer the EF, after I stayed as the priest who was going to celebrate the next Mass (OF) is 89 years old. I was going to help distribute communion. The folks at the parish know if they are going to receive on the tongue, and want to kneel, to get in my line. Well this fellow had a running commentary during the Mass, and contorted some of the meaning of what was being offered into a happy hippy sort of experience. He used perfectly Catholic words but made them into another social working world. After Mass, he asked me what I thought of the Liturgy, this being our first meeting I replied in Latin saying, that while my uncle who fostered my vocation was a Franciscan, and served the poorest in the community, providing social work it was for the Glory of God, not the glory of Social Work. He nodded, and said, I guess you are the old geezer and I'm the progressive... So even perfectly Catholic words can be misused. It's the context in which we use them.

An excellent clarification of a few aspects of the teaching of Saint Thomas.
Thank you, Father White.
Pax Christi.
Thanks for watching! May the Lord bless you!

Considering the subject, this is an excellent and accessible introduction. Thank you.
Jesus, Mary I love you. Save Souls.
Good stuff! I enjoy how when Fr. Thomas Joseph pulls out a random example of an animal he thinks of an aardvark.
Thanks, I'm getting some free education here! I hope to pass it along ...
Fascinating. God bless!
Thank you for your great content!

Thomas white Hahn original sin
90's Vincention seminary prof said there is no metaphysics or mind of the Church--out with Vatican 2
Doubt that Aquinas would ever refer to "evolution".
