These videos keep getting better and better. I'm very thankful to God that he has showered these Dominicans with the graces necessary to carry out this great apostolate. I hope and pray that the Thomistic Institute continues to grow and improve and that many other Catholics, interested in using the internet as a means of evangelization, take inspiration in their example. Anyways, keep up the good work, and God bless!
Thank you! At the moment, I'm unaware of a video focusing specifically on just war. St. Thomas addresses war in the IIaIIae Q. 40 (which you can read here: aquinas101.thomisticinstitute.org/st-iiaiiae-q-40#SSQ40OUTP1) in his treatise on charity. Fr. Aquinas Guilbeau doesn't, however, touch on war in his lesson on charity for the sake of brevity. Joseph Capizzi, Professor of Moral Theology/Ethics at CUA, gave a lecture on just war theory for the Thomistic Institute last year; you can find it here: soundcloud.com/thomisticinstitute/just-war-theory-catholic-ethics-and-the-stem-career-prof-joseph-capizzi.
Excellent. Dominicans at their best. Evangelization greatly enhanced. hope Catholics in many corners of the world access these videos. God bless Dominicans & keep them preaching the word to all.
I am but a mere engineer and not very good at metaphysics. These (plus Edward Feser) have been helpful in helping me understand St. Thomas' philosophy. Thanks!
Vindication is difficult when an articulate skill set is not present but when the evidence is clear and also experienced by more than one person in a particular organization.
This presentation brought justice to a higher level. I found myself doing an examination of conscience. It appears the Holy Spirit is in the details when l listen. Thank you.
Cicero believed that men were born for justice and that justice was the highest good of man, Aristotle believed that if a man possesed perfect justice they possesed complete virtue, what was St. Thomas Aquinas view on Cicero?
Indeed, Cicero was an important source for St. Thomas. But he did not see the political life as the highest life, as Cicero did - rather, the life focused on the contemplation of God more closely approaches human perfection.

Amazing. Really the crème de la crème of Catholic TH-cam.
Looking forward to a future video focusing on specifically Just War (hopefully)

@@ThomisticInstitute Thank you for the link! I am eager to know about the Just War theory and it's implications in our present time.
Thank you. The world and I needed to hear what Justice must be. Thank you again.

Vindication is difficult when an articulate skill set is not present but when the evidence is clear and also experienced by more than one person in a particular organization.
This is an important message that seems rarely communicated in today’s world. Thank you.
Thankyou 😊

Thank you.
Very grateful for these videos. I always learn something new.
So, in order: Religion>Piety>Respect>Common Courtesy or Civility (Gratitude, Vindication, Truth, Affability, Liberality)
POTENTIAL PARTS OF JUSTICE:
- Veneration:
+ Religion
+ Piety
+ Observance
- Civility:
+ Gratitude
+ Vindication
+ Truth
+ Affability
+ Liberality
Father Jacob Bertrand Janczyk needs to listen to that about affability😂

St. Thomas draws on Cicero in his writings.
Indeed, Cicero was an important source for St. Thomas. But he did not see the political life as the highest life, as Cicero did - rather, the life focused on the contemplation of God more closely approaches human perfection.
Where can I email someone to book Father Gregory Pine for a conference ?
Jesus, please send an email to thomisticinstitute@dhs.edu.
