This all makes sense but it's like listening to Freedom die in real time and all the references to the 1940s are deeply saddening. Our whole life we've been beaten over the head about how a certain german government's regime was evil in every way and that we're never going back there... Yet here we are, studying ownership of people, exalting the family above society, collectively owning individuals, no freedom, ect. only it's Noah this time and not Moses. Did everyone lie? Hitchens was right? This is wrong.
@@anahata3478 I'm not American?? People outside America like Freedom too?? I don't see your point about the 40s and 50s, we are heading that way again... So just give it time and your argument falls apart. It won't be famine and Moses this time, it'll be walls against the hellish public and the saved few on Noah's ark. Don't come crying to me about politics when it happens too. And sorry but no Christian on the planet is truly Christian if they are propagandized by any government, so leave that political rhetoric at the door. It's an ontological fact, (I'd argue) that freedom is dying and becoming hellish, it's very sad and we will see a dictatorial repeat of the 40s, but it's noah this time instead of moses. It really sucks being told by the boomer's our whole lives that the 1940s would never happen again and hitler bad and we should invade other countries to kill dictators, only for God and the church to create a new western dictator. So many betrayals from the boomer generation, there is nothing they won't burn. Better get used to sucking up to the King and Queen of the west and their family. This dictatorial family can't "lose" their position as top dog under god, so they will suck all the wealth out of every private hidey hole on the planet and make it their own. It makes me suicidal, this is not the West I was born to live in... You'll say "it won't be that bad" and when it happens, you'll be nowhere to be found, nestled away in your self-satisfying circle jerk of "we beat the capitalists everybody", now back to slave work, I'm the boss now.
Normally Thomistic Institute videos have clear, concise, thorough teaching from the perspective of a normal educated person. This man sounds arrogant and condescending. In the last 40 years there has been a flowering and proliferation of interest in and study of good Thomistic doctrine: Warren Murray at University of Laval, Thomas Aquinas College, University of Dallas, Maritain Institute, the International Theological Institute founded by St. John Paul the Great and there are others. Charity and truth are vitally important. The Thomistic Institute labors earnestly to promote both. This lecture does not.
Yes this man judges for himself, that the Holy Spirit was correct in placing the See in Italy for worldly reasons... What man claims to know God so well that he can judge the success of the Holy Spirit? What criteria would you even use to make that judgement? Is he even really Christian or has he become the Nietzschean "Giantist" he criticizes? The Thomist institute should issue an addendum to this video, make an editor's remark that it does not reflect the organisation's views in it's totality.

I love lectures on important issues I know nothing about. Masters in Theology skipped this.
well, there is still one common good - perhaps the only common good - which we can love by amor amicitiae.
