Some people think that only the light of reason, or only science, can be trusted in the search for truth. Some have claimed that religion, or even faith itself, involves a kind of darkening of the mind. Is that true? Is faith a cause of darkness, or of light? How can we address the light of reason vs. the light of faith? In this video, Fr. Dominic Legge, O.P. explains the difference between the light of faith and the light of reason.

The section of Thomas articulation of Faith not destroying reason but elevating it to a new mode (or order) makes me sigh with gratitude. As a former Protestant, I never saw Faith in that way. Thomas has truly be influential in reshaping the way I think. I hope to one day hug this Saint and thank God for all the wisdom and knowledge he has diffused to us through this man who is a member of the God Man Christ Jesus.
Praise God! Thanks for watching.
Thank you St Thomas Aquinas for bringing me so much closer to Jesus through your God-given wisdom!
This Thomas Aquinas really thought of everything!😳🤔🧐
He was pretty good at it too
From the Bible to Aristotle, there is a pantheon of literature from this brilliant man
I really love this channel! Thomas Aquinas is a real intellectual hero!
Thanks for watching! God bless you.
Thank you Father! May God richly bless you.
Thanks for watching! God bless you.
This is all I need when I beginning my day in Chile, Thanks T.O for share the divine wisdom. God Bless you.
How are things going in Chile? I have heard that there is a quick dechristianization in the country, and I am quite afraid because of the loss of intellectualism in one country with such a tradition of Christian thinking.
there is a tough time here, however, the challenge for us is preparing a new generation to defend the true. Actually, we need to spread the word of God and the Christianity think here. We trust in the Holy Spirit!!!
Thanks for watching! God bless you.
Atheist remain stuck in the "Light of Natural Reason". I pray that they will reach higher.
Love this channel!
Thanks for watching! God bless you.
Great video! I'll pray a rosary for you!
I'll also pray a decade of the rosary tonight for Father Dominic and The Thomistic Institute.
Thank you so much! God bless you.
@@jonathanw5518 Thank you, Jonathan! God bless you.
"For we walk by faith, and not by sight." 2 Cor 5:7
You walk by faith, I'll walk by sight.
True, there has to be something that makes some to believe and others not.
I'm hooked in Aquinas
Father left us on a cliffhanger 😭
I love your Channel po... My everyday spiritual food.
We're glad to hear it! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. May the Lord bless you!
Totally cool; thank you dear Father.
You're welcome! God bless you.
Beautiful!
Cheers! Thanks for watching, and may the Lord bless you!
Hello Thomastic Institute, could it possible to give us the original word St. Thomas used which you translated as "strength" in order to explain the three different level of lights?? Thank you.
Einstein once said out believe in the harmony of the universe gats stonger the more obstacled we see around us.
Fantastic! Aquinas was used by God to shed the light of reason and faith on the human race.
What book(s) would you recommend to read by or about Saint Thomas Aquinas, Father?
Greetings! We have a reading guide on our website. Enjoy and God bless you! thomisticinstitute.org/recommended-reading
Gödel's ontological proof is a pretty good mathemeatical/premis of logic that proves God's existence. Unfortunately not a lot of smart people to understand it including Richard Dawkins.
1:19 I'm confused Father. I thought the Image of God was unique to human beings, but how could it be unique to us if angels and demons also have reason? Perhaps our reason is unique among bodied creatures, but are we really unique in the larger cosmology? Do angels and demons also have the Image of God in this respect? I'm confused
In the prologue to the Prima Secundae (first part of the second part) of the Summa Theologiae, Thomas quotes St. John Damascene about man's being made to the image of God: "Damascene states (De Fide Orth. ii, 12), man is said to be made in God's image, in so far as the image implies "an intelligent being endowed with free-will and self-movement."
It's intellect and will that constitute the imago Dei. Angels are also made to the image of God. See Summa Theologiae I, question 93, article 3.
Is this not fideism? Are we not able to know “a” God through reason alone? Is it not the specifics of Catholic dogma that requires faith?
I think reason and faith can coexist. God created us with a brain, we can think rationally and critically. We can think abd solve problems. We can understand the world around us.
"THE RESURRECTION IS REAL-IT BEGINS WITH MY GRAND-FATHER ERVIN NEILLY."(11)( PROFESSOR ZERO)
Faith in God is different than religion.
wish St Thomas Aquinas lived in this era taking on the leftists and feminists!
Very disappointed in this pushing of the idea of space and planets. The earth is flat as described in Genesis. I'm ashamed that the Church pushes the theories that deny our place as the centre of the universe.
The bible does not teach a flat earth
@@cameron4339 Michelson Morely proved 150 years ago that the earth did not move. The annual progression of the constellations prove that the earth is the centre of the universe and with modern binoculars we can see for ourselves that the earth is flat.
@@janetrocha3584 that is dumb I am sorry
@@cameron4339 Refute what I wrote. I know you can't. You are stupid, ignorant fool and I am not the slightest bit sorry .
@@janetrocha3584
The proof you mentioned repeated over time and you are right according to this proof the earth is at rest. But that proof didn't say the earth is flat. Two different things--being at rest and being flat are not to mean the same. I'm very much convienced, one call it naive, by the work of Dr. Robert Sungenis. His work on Geocentrism is impecable.
