I can't hear English very well, but their class are great, every day my understanding of what they teach improves, it is a gift in plague time. Thank God, blessed be your work.
Jesus Romero Sure my friend, but when the lecture is on direct don't have subtitles. Moreover is marvelous check the body language because that give me a deep impression about the meaning. I enjoy it so much when a watch the video much time again after. Have a super Sunday.
I love the consistent visual language you have built in to represent virtue and vice these last few videos. The visual metaphors have been great at reinforcing the message you are communicating. Thank you for this video series as these last few episodes have helped me understand were I am on my journey.
Great to visit and note! Clearly and well explained so lucky to avail of your teaching and your enthusiasm.You're very devoted to this great work,God bless you all for such dedication.
A lovely ,great video,helps to see the need to teach people ,how to seek the higher good,as a sure way to keep on the right Christian way of behaviour.G B U
Hi Thomistic Institute I like your videos a lot! What do you think about the theological role of prayer? Is it something we have to do just because of Scriptures or did Saint Thomas see something else in it? Thanks!
Consider listening to this lecture: soundcloud.com/thomisticinstitute/fr-white-op-introduction-to-mental-prayer-feb-2017-bloomfield-ct Also, a doctoral candidate, Josh Revelle, is writing his dissertation on the role of prayer in St. Thomas's theological method. he'd be a great resource for this question.
May I ask you something? What is the difference between vice and addiction? Anyway, thank you so much for all your videos. Thank you for guiding us towards God!!!
Estámos en el proceso. Hemos experimentado unas dificultades recientemente con el coronavirus, pero esperamos que sea posíble cumplir todos los videos antes del comienzo del verano.
Hi, I have a question about what type of sin Aquinas would categorize the fear of missing out as. For example, a person spends an excessive amount of money on an unnecessary item just to not be left out. Thanks #askafriar
Not necessarily. A vice is a habit that disposes a person to sinful actions. It is probably the result of personal sins, but having a "vicious" disposition of soul is not itself a sin. So it is possible to repent after a period of repeated bad acts (which lead to the development of a vice in the soul) and to be forgiven -- and hence to be in a state of grace -- and still to have a vice rooted in the soul. Of course, God can (and often enough does) grant special supernatural graces to help us overcome our vices, but it is possible to be forgiven of sin and in a state of grace and still be left with vices. In fact, it is probably rather common!
If St. Thomas thinks it is always a sin to lie, does it mean that a farmer who is lying to a Nazi officer about the Jews he is hiding in barn is commiting a sin? It sounds counterintuitive. Can anyone offer an explenation?
🇷🇺☦️🤝☪️🇵🇸Exactly what wanted to comment, and yes, I don't understand why they deliberately ignored that issue (if not deliberately then it is very strange), but although the holy Aquinas isn't our Saint (because of theological errors), I can assure you that there's no chance in hell he grouped those kind of lies with the rest as 'sin', I mean not a chance, since you have to be a demon to do such a thing. Just like Jews are allowed to break the Sabbath in case of saving life, then the same thing goes for that too
The right to truth. There are other options than lying like saying nothing or changing the topic and some more. If you like to read a bit more. Send me your email(preferred a disposable one because this is public)? I have a discord that can help with that

All the best to you!
The same happens to me, but what I do is to turn on subtitles. It is much easier to read English than to listen and understand it. Hope it helps you!

@@lauzeladasse Same for you!
aah some of these lectures are breaking me down to tears.
Thank you Father! Clear and pure and helps me see the goal each day!! God bless you!
Cheers!

I agree. I especially loved the visuals for mortal sin "[turning] us directly away from God"
🇷🇺☦️🤝☪️🇵🇸I will do those as well on my future Russian eastern Roman Orthodox channel but even prettier than those😁
Glorious
Cheers!
Thank you for this video!
May our Lord Jesus Christ bless you!

How might Aquinas view addiction and its attendant acts--e.g., alcoholism and excessive drinking? Would it be a special kind of habit?

What is the significance of the symbol at 3:40?
It is the symbol used to signify the Holy Trinity
What if then a life of vice enables one to take care of their family and letting go of that life means the family starves ?
Was it on purpose that you omitted the second "m" in "commission"? ;-P
Amen
I have a question is anyone who has a vice in a state of mortal sin?
Not necessarily. A vice is a habit that disposes a person to sinful actions. It is probably the result of personal sins, but having a "vicious" disposition of soul is not itself a sin.

Interesting! This video would be clearly be the introduction to Hamartiology 101 🤔

We'd love to get Weird Al to join us for an Aquinas 101 video!

I can’t get over the “small sins” teaching.
All sin is a turning away from God, rejecting the heavenly, grasping emptiness instead.
