And because it is not pure and pagan Aristotelian philosophy — which is distinguished from true philosophy, or from philosophy in itself that we are writing, as we have professed many times from the beginning of our work and throughout its course: we shall take more care to...

When I have time, I will briefly explain why I'm no longer a Thomist. Using ChatGPT and the replies I myself have used over the past few years to answer Scotist and Suarezian objections won't work on me. If they had any weight, I would not have left Thomism, so don't waste time.

Dominicans would condemn Fr. Luis de Molina for teaching heresy but then attribute to him things he never said or believed. He is perhaps the most slandered theologian by the Dominicans on grace.

"The prophets are demonically inspired. Does anyone sincerely think God would encourage someone to marry a prostitute and name their children 'not my people' and 'not beloved.'" - Israelites in 723 BC
The sacred heart devotion is clearly demonically inspired.
Does anyone sincerely think Jesus would encourage someone to carve His name into their chest?

My dear friend and I posted an article on God's antecedent will, defending the view that it is a will of good pleasure. Much appreciation if you give it a read!

St. Robert Bellarmine: "Nor can a passage be called ambiguous merely because heretics do not agree in explaining it. For that ambiguity does not arise from the nature of the matter, but from their stubbornness in defending their errors. Otherwise the Fathers would not agree either, if the passage were truly ambiguous; and if all passages in which some do not agree were to be called ambiguous, nothing could be proved from the Scriptures."
On Baptism, bk. 1, ch. 22.

I'm losing my mind. Logging off X and all other social media. Just pray for something I need to have in my life and don't ask what's wrong. Goodbye, everyone.

Thinking about writing an article on how Fr. Marín-Sola’s account of fallible promotion fails and why it’s incoherent.

Non-Catholic sects are so true that they have to read our theologians to learn about theology.

Gerhard & Co. are “blessed”, but St. Thomas is not... even though the former combined does not possess a tiny bit of St. Thomas’s holiness. Very revealing.
“In the imposition of hands the character of the priestly order is not given, as is clear from what has been said, but grace, according to which they are made fit to exercise the order.”
— Thomas Aquinas, Scriptum super Sententiis IV, d. 25, q. 1, a. 1, ad 1.

This is the rest of the same text, where Suarez says that this view "real distinction of soul's powers" is "consonant with faith", and gives intellect and will as examples which are really distinguished. Nominalists such as Hurtado and Arriaga will later attack P. Suarez for this
