      @@motdrappehs2268 The Church has always opposed chattel slavery (owning a person like an animal) because it is unjust, but there can be legitimate forms of servitude (punishment for a crime is the prime example [still allowed under the US Constitution], but also working off a debt, capturing and subduing aggressors in war). You can go back to the OT to find teaching against kidnapping someone and making them a slave. Mistreatment of servants who lawfully incurred some type of servitude was also prohibited. The New Testament made it clear that there was an equality of persons before the Lord. "In Christ there is neither slave nor free," etc. It was the habit of the early Church to encourage the liberation of slaves, as well as their good treatment, and to work toward the reform of the legal system which happened over time as countries became more and more Christianized. In many cases the Church proactively changed canon law in order to address human rights issues, so this would effectively bypass defective civil laws.
      Here are a few papal statements against slavery:
      Eugene IV: Sicut Dudum, 1435 www.papalencyclicals.net/eugene04/eugene04sicut.htm
      Paul III: Sublimus Dei, 1537 www.newadvent.org/library/docs_pa03sd.htm
      Gregory XVI: In Supremo, 1839 www.newadvent.org/library/docs_gr16is.htm
      What you are referring to is Pope Nicholas V in Dum Diversas, 1452. It was a letter to King Alfonso of Portugal who had apparently written to the Pope asking permission and blessings for a crusade against the Saracens (Muslims) in North Africa. The Pope granted his request noting that the Saracens were enemies of Christ "struggling to extinguish Christian religion." Their modus operandi was to invade countries and force people to accept Islam. They also conducted raids and themselves engaged in a horrific slave trade. So, it is just to treat such people as criminals and to invade and occupy and subdue them if it is prudent to do so. The Pope authorizes conquering "Saracens, pagans, and other enemies of Christ" in this context. And the key phrase that is lifted in order to claim that Nicholas V somehow was responsible for abuses by Spain and Portugal that followed after this period is, "and to lead their persons into perpetual servitude." But this seems to mean obeisance since it is part of the reason for the action in the first place: "to bring them back to the faith of Christ." This would just mean conquering and re-establishing a Christian realm that the Saracens had previously conquered. You'd have to look at the wider history of both Christian kingdoms in North Africa as well as what the Saracens did there and their constant aggression against Christian civilization both before and after this date. Keep in mind that the Muslims had intended to invade Christian Europe all along. They were finally stopped at the battle of Lepanto in 1571.

    You’re on point at 34:51 when you say the idea that causes are fixed is how we do science. I once attended a seminar (as a scientist) where one profesor was adamant that we not anthropomorphize scientific processes (happens a lot) bc evolution is random. He argued that there is no such thing as cause and effect and more so we cannot speak of things as they ought to be but simply as they are. To which another colleague responded that our whole gig as basic scientists was to establish causes and as medical scientists was to fix these processes back to the way they ought to be. How are we to do science if not under these premises? The first profesor who was the director of the department conceded that to actually do science we have to “pretend” there are causes and basically teleology.

      Obviously, the Treatise of Metaphysical Impossibility of Human Evolution is a biased one. It leaned heavily on the teachings of Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas so that the title should have been The Metaphysical Impossibility of Human Evolution According to the Metaphysical Principles of Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas. The concatenation of the metaphysical principles mentioned finds their validity from the principle of non-contradiction. This principle however is debunked by one Nobel Prize winner in Theoretical Physics whose name now escapes me and whose book I browsed several years ago at Barnes and Noble in New Jersey. There seems to have some truth to it if Aristotle's teaching on potentiality and actuality are closely examined. Note that there is pure actuality, but there is no pure potentiality because pure potentiality cannot become actual. Simply because it lacks the potentiality to become actual. Thus, potentiality must be actually potentiality to become actual; It is and it is not at the same time.

    Why does no one bring up the fact that, if creationism is true, which I 100% believe it is, this also explains how everyone before Abraham could have, in theory, known God if only their ancestors had properly passed on their Tradition which would have been passed down starting with Adam & Eve (and Noah & his sons later on).
    I feel like this is an important fact to acknowledge due to how frequently people think it is “unfair” that if you’re born is Asia or something before Jesus how would you have ever known of the True (at that time Hebrew) Faith? Well if their ancestors hadn’t abandoned God, they could have. But just like immoral parents will often raise immoral children, parents who damn themselves through ignoring God will raise children ignorant of God.
    Maybe I’m not making my point very clear. But it’s a concept that I wish someone smarter than I would articulate with more depth and clarity.

      Beech,...………….I know what you are talking about. When Noah's children came out of the Ark, they all knew about God from their father. They spread all over the world, so Ham settled in Africa, Shem in the Middle East (in Asia) from which we get the Semites, and Japheth went to Europe. All three of these knew about God. Later on they turned against what their father Noah had taught them and we know that because the Semites worshipped other gods such as Baal. The Egyptians (sons of Ham) worshipped different gods such as Isis and Osiris. If one reads what Blessed Catherine Emmerich wrote, one will get an idea of what went on. It seems that she is one of the few gifted with the visions of past history. She travelled back in time and saw certain events in history before and after the coming of Christ. The Church never condemned her writings and I read that she accurately described places , without ever physically travelling to these places (she visited them in her visions).

      I disagree, in my opinion God keeps speaking to each and every one of us and He uses very different "channels" to reach us. In my own case, the day I started reading Maria Valtorta, I HEARD, mentally speaking, heard Jesus speaking and my path to conversion and repentance started there. Most people I know don't experience anything in particular when reading Maria Valtorta, but I'm sure they see and hear other messages and private divine revelations to which I wouldn't be attracted myself

    Metaphysical, I love this word because the Council of Trent formulated that our original sin is transmitted metaphysically thru procreation.
    This has boggled me for a long time..
    How can the original sin be transmitted metaphysically...it has no physical realities and yet the effect on us is so huge it resulted to our fallen nature, inclined to do Satan's bidding to sensual pleasures...even St.Paul complained about this struggles in the flesh.
    So, what is the meaning of original sin being transmitted metaphysically?
    Key word BREATHE..
    Adam was created body&soul, but not have the BREATHE of the Holy Spirit for him to have a Divine Life, a living soul.
    So what Satan do to Eve first, and to Adam next....satan imitates what the Lord had done...satan BREATHE too..
    but the BREATHE of satan doesn not breathe life...it breathe death..
    So, lets uncover the theory & teaching of some of Church Fathers like St.Ambrose, St.Augustine, etc. that the original sin is related to sexual activity or sexual intercourse...
    Why?
    CCC400 teaches that original sin is MARKED BY LUST...
    Try reading too the sin of Onna...the Onnanism...spreading of semens on the ground is a cursed.
    Look at the punishement in Genesis3:16...the ground us cursed too besides the serpent...
    The Wisdom of the the Catholic Church never expounded on this area, I guess strictly this pondering is "for adults only".
    If the Church does not go on expounding there's a Higher Wisdom behind this...it will be a scandal to know what the actual sin or the act of disobedience Adam & Eve committed.
    But my personal reflections led me to believe St.Ambrose & St.Augustine theory/teachings that original sin is related to sexual intercourse...
    Picture the Word METAPHYSICALLY transmitted and the word BREATHE...the breathe of satan is metaphysical in nature...
    How can it enters Human physical dimension or realities?
    let's ponder more...
    Godbless

    • @petercarlson811

      I think it is much simpler than that. Adam and Eve were born in full communion with the father. Through that they were taught directly from the very source of life, the purpose of life and how to live it. All humans after that has been born outside that communion with the father. Thus has never been taught the how and why.
      Think of any child growing up without any parent. If they have to figure out everything by themselves the result will not be good. But growing up in full communion with loving and caring parents who show the child how and why it is loved. The result is a human with a solid foundation in love and a bright future.
      We are children growing up without our father. Until we through the son of man returns back to the father.

Of course God wants us all to remain Chaste, even in marriage, and God is pleased more in those who are celibate out of love for Him, but I do not find plausible that the Original sin could be related to sex.

    • @vigildino6518

      Metaphysical means beyond what we see (nature) which means it has to do with the spiritual realm.Adam is the head of the rest of his children and they all form one body, just like Christ is the head of the Church, and we the believers in that Church, are the body Christ. We were freed from Original Sin when we became part of the Body of Christ (Church) and have left being part of the body of Adam. That is why Christ is always compared to Adam. By one man Adam sin entered the world, and by one God Man the world was redeemed. So by Baptism we leave the body of Adam and become part of the Body of Christ (mystically speaking).

      I don’t know if this helps, but Aristotle defines primary substance as that which is neither present nor said of a thing. Present means ‘not capable of existence apart from’ (accidents) and said of basically means capable of being predicated; you can look at Aristotles prior analytics( ch 1-3?) for further definition.

One explanation is that carbon dating is flawed, I don't think it's so flawed as to.get it completely wrong. Another one is that all animals existed always but weren't always fossilized, but then why don't the same fossils happen in older layers of earth and then younger as well if it's just random.

Which means , according to her visions there are difference in the creatures of today and back then, before the fall. Which could explain away a lot of these prehistoric animals and extinct species.

      I much respect for Fr Ripperger but I think he fails to see that every animal has the potential for an incredibly high number of substantial changes since it is of the nature of animals to possess genes which mutate...
      the more complex changes that result from evolutionary process ARE in the simpler form, they exist potentially in DNA, all it takes is the right mutation in the right animal in the right environment to actualize it...

    Ok so he says things that dont have sight can lead to things that dont have sight. If we apply what he said earlier, that lesser cant lead to higher than he is saying that sight is better than not having sight.
    At first glance this might seem fine because, as humans, we find sight go be beneficial. However for many animals who live in caves or the darkest part of the oceans sight isnt useful because there is little to no light. There are species who live, reproduce, and die just as well as any human does in the darkness of caves and not having sight isnt a problem. they are not lesser for not having it because they are suited to their environment.

    • @josephcole8875
      @josephcole8875 5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      A creature in a cave which cannot see is lesser than that exact same creature with also the ability to function outside of the cave. Because the power of sight is an attribute which the other lacks, and in that sense it is superior. Whether it is specifically better fit for living in a specific environment is a different measure of 'betterness'.
      For example an angel and an ant have vastly different attributes, yet the angel is of a higher order of being, having lots of abilities the ant does not have, and also lacking something the ant does have (physical matter).

    Since the title is Metaphysical Principle in Relation to Creation and Evolution, it is but proper that he should be teaching metaphysics or natural philosophy, or even epistemology and logic. And then RELATE them to creation and evolution. If he began in the study of evolution, he could have taken the path of Aristotle in discovering the first principles of thought and reality. Or whether substances and essences are indeed realities or just predicates of being like genus, specific difference, property and relations.

    Okay
    Everyone's loosing their level-headedness over this.
    Here's how Dawinism is taught:
    Giraffes didn't acquire long necks because they stretched them more.
    Only those among them in the gene pool that aquired them survived to reproduce.
    So when the students ask the question at 22:?? - the professor answers, "Factors such as solar radiation mutate the genes over a long period of time. So it's just a game of probability. This is how we're able to breed domestic animals in order to develope a desired trait."
    Of course, on the surface, this appears convincing enough and may be true to an extent. But it proves insufficient as we search for undeniable archeological proof for species transformation.
    So something else might be going on here. Assuming it's true that it took an eternity (beyond even our vast estimations of life 'development' on earth) - without some exterior influence that we can't begin to imagine; there simply isn't enough evidence to back Darwin up.
    So at 22:24, I have to hear this guy out.

    Around 17:40 he says that we cant assume things higher in the hierarchy come from lower things.

    I can tell you from my many biology classes that students are not taught to view animals in a hierarchy. It is natural for humans to see themselves as the culmination of evolutionary processes or other animals as lesser and greater but in evolution the focus is on whether or not that animal is adapted to their environment. At most, it might be said a species is perfectly adapted or suited for its environment but that is always said with the understanding things could change.

      Peter Carlson, you are seriously confused. Philosophy is about formulating questions. Once you don't know how to do that, your answers might be correct but they will also be meaningless. This is what is happening with "pulling down the pants of Aristotle". The attempt to use pure reasoning ability is not the invention of Aristotle or Plato. It is the invention of the Enlightenment. What you call philosophy must then be the post-Enlightenment tradition of it, faults of which you are then projecting onto what came before. It might be that I don't know what I am talking about. But this thing is the exact reason for my ongoing conversion from Protestantism to the Catholic church, so I am quite sensitive to it. For reference, see Owen Barfield's book Saving the Appearances.
