@vaticansillo @ruckusofantioch @MrAugustlw2c @HagiosGregorio @dionysiusmaurus Yeah, if they were generically evil, then they would not even appear good. So they are made evil by something else, namely original sin, by which the rectitude due to and from them is missing.

@vaticansillo @ruckusofantioch @MrAugustlw2c @HagiosGregorio @dionysiusmaurus Yes, the works of unbelievers are infected with the guilt of original sin. They are not all evil by their genus (for then they would not even be apparently good).

@Dogmaticist That’s Berengar of Tours.

@IncredPapist_ It's good. It does well at distinguishing the various notes for different doctrines (whether they are of faith, theologically certain, proximate to faith, merely probable opinion, etc.).

@JustinusRomanus @TheOrthoEnsign @parhypostates ...could not infallibly move the will without an additional act of God.

[Michael @StayRight239]

@JustinusRomanus @TheOrthoEnsign @parhypostates Tldr: I don't think St. Thomas or the best Thomists are opposed to the idea that a "delectation" of godly things given by God himself could draw our will, they would just distinguish that a love of God, apprehended "through a glass darkly"...

@JustinusRomanus It makes you wonder what they think the non-definitive organ of the magisterium even is, when in practice they assert that every jot and tittle of a magisterial organ’s material must be accepted unconditionally and without exception.

@JustinusRomanus …for then God Himself would be the author of error in man.”

@JustinusRomanus “As often, therefore, as it is declared on the authority of this teaching that this or that is contained in the deposit of divine revelation, it must be believed by every one as true. If it could in any way be false, an evident contradiction follows…

@steeelioo @js9inningsmedia Imagine loving the approval of men so much that you go to hell just so you don’t have to endure insults from Sodom and Gomorrah. And to make matters worse, unlike the martyrs you weren’t even threatened with death if you refused, just insults.

[Michael @StayRight239]

@logos_asarkos …then it must be because they are infected with the guilt of original sin, which deprives them of the rectitude that, according to the divine will, they ought to have and he commands from them.

[Michael @StayRight239]

@logos_asarkos We need to ask why they are sins. If it’s not because every act of unbelievers is evil according to its genus (which is false, for then they would not even be apparently good)…

@wirecrab99 @JustinusRomanus You mean Ezekiel 36? That’s a major foreshadowing of baptism.
