Wow...this is so good Fr. TY! ❤

Great sermon. This priest knows his St Thomas

1:07 which church is this painting? Its very beautiful.

...Meanwhile, back in reality, the notion that philosophy and Revelation can't possibly be at odds has led us to abandon Augustinianism in favor of a demonstrable heresy: Semi-pelagianism, which has been with us since the Renaissance. Saint Thomas may have been orthodox in his teachings but in such a convoluted way as to be practically worthless for the sanctification of ordinary people. There is no need to 'reconcile' philosophy with Revelation and if the cost of doing so is to make catholic doctrine incomprehensible, perhaps we should rethink the whole endeavor: the goal here should be to sanctify as many souls as possible - not prove a point.

Your opinion is in direct opposition to the Magisterium of Christ's one and only Church. If you are Catholic, you should read Aeterni Patris, Fides et Ratio, Studiorum Ducem, etc. and act accordingly. If you are not, it explains why you're doing the work of your father (John 8:44) in blaspheming a Church Doctor and Saint through your slander. St. Thomas, the Angelic Doctor, far from obfuscating the truths and beauty of Catholic doctrine provided such penetrating clarity, insight, and defense of the Truth that the council fathers at Trent placed his Summa Theologiae on the altar during their deliberations. The only other book placed on the altar besides Sacred Scripture.

@@NaruIchiLuffy Not impressed in the least... Did you know that saint Thomas was an Augustinian but that subsequent interpretations of his work are not - the ones you so brazenly describe as the 'only' possible interpretations? Your ignorance is quite astonishing... And don't for a minute think that saint Thomas is over my head: I've read his major works and I can read Latin. I have also read Aristotle's Metaphysics - as well as the Organon. There is absolutely no need for saint Thomas: many souls were saved BEFORE him. I would even venture to say that the greatest saints of all time - the martyrs of the first centuries - were made by the doctrine of saint Paul and saint Augustine, not the theology of saint Thomas. What do we have since the Renaissance? A slow but steady decline in holiness which has led to the complete collapse of the Church in the 1960s. Perhaps it is time to revisit the Ratio Studiorum - as a matter of fact, if you read Aquaviva's version, you will find therein the very roots of Modernism.

​@@superapex2128 Dear sir, for someone who claims to have studied Aristotle's Organon and St. Thomas's Commentaries to fall into the post hoc fallacy is to either have lied or to have studied in vain. But you didn't stop there, did you? You had to go claiming to adhere to the doctrine of St. Paul and St. Augustine and to seek to falsely pit these Fathers in opposition to St. Thomas, who not only frequently quotes them in his works but who also wrote Biblical commentaries on all fourteen of St. Paul's Epistles. But since you claim to love St. Paul why don't you chew on 2 Timothy 3 for a while, with God's grace he might just help you see your errors. Bonus points: *Saint Augustine (died A.D. 430)* - "No man can find salvation except in the Catholic Church. Outside the Catholic Church one can have everything except salvation. One can have honor, one can have the sacraments, one can sing alleluia, one can answer amen, one can have faith in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, and preach it too, but never can one find salvation except in the Catholic Church." (Sermo ad Caesariensis Ecclesia plebem) *CCC 891-892* 891 "The Roman Pontiff, head of the college of bishops, enjoys this infallibility in virtue of his office, when, as supreme pastor and teacher of all the faithful - who confirms his brethren in the faith he proclaims by a definitive act a doctrine pertaining to faith or morals. . . . The infallibility promised to the Church is also present in the body of bishops when, together with Peter's successor, they exercise the supreme Magisterium," above all in an Ecumenical Council.418 When the Church through its supreme Magisterium proposes a doctrine "for belief as being divinely revealed,"419 and as the teaching of Christ, the definitions "must be adhered to with the obedience of faith."420 This infallibility extends as far as the deposit of divine Revelation itself.421 892 Divine assistance is also given to the successors of the apostles, teaching in communion with the successor of Peter, and, in a particular way, to the bishop of Rome, pastor of the whole Church, when, without arriving at an infallible definition and without pronouncing in a "definitive manner," they propose in the exercise of the ordinary Magisterium a teaching that leads to better understanding of Revelation in matters of faith and morals. To this ordinary teaching the faithful "are to adhere to it with religious assent"422 which, though distinct from the assent of faith, is nonetheless an extension of it.

​@@NaruIchiLuffy Why must you read the Catechism to me as if I were some sort of imbecile? I'm afraid you're going to have to point out the post hoc fallacy because I don't see it... The point I'm trying to get across is that there are many interpretations of saint Thomas, not just one - and the reason for that is that it's unnecessarily complicated. The more complicated the doctrine, the greater the risk of being misinterpreted because the Devil is in the details. Does that make sense? I hope it does because that's exactly what has happened: saint Thomas has been misinterpreted and what passes today as 'Thomism' really isn't. Far from invalidating my point, history proves it! What you're doing right now - quite possibly unknowingly - is using the prestige of saint Thomas, along with a false understanding of papal infallability, to impose upon the faithful from on-high a heretical (semi-pelagian) interpretation of saint Thomas - and you're using saint Thomas to smuggle this heresy into the Church precisely because he's difficult to understand and most people will go along with it simply because they don't know any better. Like I said, you would do well to read Aquaviva's version of the Ratio Studiorum - and brush up on Semi-pelagianism while you're at it.

​@@superapex2128 post hoc fallacy is claiming that Saint Thomas's work somehow caused downfall of the faith just because it happened after his death. And why are you throwing around semi pelagianism nobody here has defended semi pelagianism and I myself believe in St Augustine's doctrine of grace and predestination which was by the way further expanded and elaborated on by St Thomas Aquinas. Also I think many of his works are quite understandable though I don't think there's necessarily something wrong with difficult things being complicated.

i really wish Jesus aka the Almighty didnt cheat people

This is a ridiculous diatribe by somebody who obviously hasn't spent any time with Saint Thomas Aquinas, who incidentally, argued against philosophers and philosophy that went in opposition of obvious divine revelation. And yet, how many souls did he save by proving points? How many souls were saved by men who studied the Catena Aurea or one of the Summas that ultimately can be led back to Thomas Aquinas who was in fact quite an Augustinian.

Aquinas was closer to being of Aristotelian thought, he was not Augustinian. Augustinian thought is closer to Platonism. Aristotle and Plato diverged philisophically, they are not of the same philosophy.
