This was unironcally a major concern for me growing up. In my defense, I was a Jehovah's witness back then, and so didn't believe I had a soul, so I couldn't see how God could ensure it was really me at the end, so really the problem was the bad theology. But the angst was real

I have seen debates about whether the material must be numerically identical or if the material can be different so long as the rational soul is the same. I was under the impression that since Saints Augustine and John of Demascus, along with 2 Lyons understood the material to be the same that material continuity was De Fide. Does anyone know if this is the case, or am I just stupid.

“The following illustration also, the Teacher went on, might be very properly added to those already brought forward, to show that the soul has not need of much teaching in order to distinguish its own from the alien among the atoms. Imagine a potter with a supply of clay; and let the supply be a large one; and let part of it have been already moulded to form finished vessels, while the rest is still waiting to be moulded; and suppose the vessels themselves not to be all of similar shape, but one to be a jug, for instance, and another a wine-jar, another a plate, another a cup or any other useful vessel; and further, let not one owner possess them all, but let us fancy for each a special owner. Now as long as these vessels are unbroken they are of course recognizable by their owners, and none the less so, even should they be broken in pieces; for from those pieces each will know, for instance, that this belongs to a jar , and, again, what sort of fragment belongs to a cup. And if they are plunged again into the unworked clay, the discernment between what has been already worked and that clay will be a more unerring one still. The individual man is as such a vessel; he has been moulded out of the universal matter, owing to the concourse of his atoms; and he exhibits in a form peculiarly his own a marked distinction from his kind; and when that form has gone to pieces the soul that has been mistress of this particular vessel will have an exact knowledge of it, derived even from its fragments; nor will she leave this property, either, in the common blending with all the other fragments, or if it be plunged into the still formless part of the matter from which the atoms have come ; she always remembers her own as it was when compact in bodily form, and after dissolution she never makes any mistake about it, led by marks still clinging to the remains.” - St. Gregory of Nyssa “On the Soul and the Resurrection”

These are Good apologists, they especialize in a area of theology that is necessary for the greatest challanges of the church, like the Orthodox question of Palamas theology, if there would be a council to debate Tomism vs Palamism, i would want them on my side

Can you make a video about Thomistic physical premotion?

I would imagine that if flesh and blood and all that can be remade then bones and any parts we may have lost along the way would be remade too. I always assumed we would be resurrected in our bodies as they were meant to be, not how they became.

“Trust The Plan” honestly an answer to 80% of weird questions about Catholic theology.

Are miscarried and aborted babies given their glorified bodies at the resurrection?

Wow this is ridiculous. All those martyrs who were burned at the stake surely will be resurrected. CHRISTIANS believe that all who are in Christ will be raised at the last day. That being said, I don't want to be cremated. But I don't have to do a bunch of twisting like these guys are doing. "State of grace"? Wtf is that. Just love and follow Jesus and trust him to save you from your sins. Pretty simple.

Romans 5:1-2 Describes justification as a state or mode of being wherein one “stands” in the grace of justification. “Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God.” The Church perennially has used the language of “state of grace” to describe the indwelling of sanctifying (justifying) grace in the soul. Reference to grace in this sense should obviously be to the principal operation of grace in the soul, realized as a matter of being - a “state”. This distinction matters in our theology as we believe that sinning regarding a grave matter, with full intention, and full knowledge of the gravity of that act constitutes “mortal sin”, which dispels sanctifying grace from the soul. Mortal sin is the rejection of divine Charity, thereby rendering the gift of Faith, which God permits the soul to retain, dead and non-justifying. That is why sanctifying grace, the grace of justification, is dispelled with mortal sin but the gift of Faith is not. Divine love, Charity, vivifies Faith and makes it justifying. Recall that St. Peter says in 1 Corinthians 13:2, “…and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.” This infusing of Charity into Faith occurs when the gift of Faith is granted, but can be lost and subsequently regained by repentance. To sum it up: Sinning in the manner which constitutes a conscious and free contradiction of the will of God regarding grave matter in some instance causes the loss of Charity and, thereby, one’s justification. State of grace refers to the soul being in that state of justification. Conversely, the soul, if not in a state of grace, could be referred to as being in a state of mortal sin, or a state of sinfulness.

Not sure how what anything you're saying disagrees with the video. Being in a state of grace is just the technical term for having a good relationship with Jesus, where you are loving Him, following Him, and obeying His commands.

Part of (supernaturally) loving and trusting Jesus includes doing at least the bare minimum of what he asks of you (being in a state of grace).
