Brief Overview of Predestination's Relation to the Universal Call, the Nature of Reprobation, Sufficient Grace, and Limbo

NOTE: Quickly wrote some notes down. Not polished.

In order to properly understand the nature of predestination, we must understand that it is generally taken for an act of the consequent will. Thus, in order to properly understand the teaching on the matter, there must be serious reflection on the nature of the distinction between the antecedent and consequent will, and their respective orders and ends. Upon these reflections, the teaching on the universal call, reprobati...

Update

Sorry I've been a bit off with posts recently, been writing a pretty major paper that was consuming most of my time.

Whether the word ‘person’ should be said of God?

Link: https://aquinas.cc/la/en/~ST.I.Q29.A3

cf., Sent.I.D23.Q1.A2, QDePot.Q9.A3

Next, we ask whether that which we defined in A. 1-2 is becoming of God, i.e., is it fitting to attribute this to God, or would it be against reason/dignity.

The reply to this question is simple. Any name can be predicated o...

Whether there are more than two processions in God?

cf., SCG4.C26, QDePot.Q9.A9

At this point, we reach the end of our analysis of the notion of the "procession" in God. Here, we are able to explain a truth of the Catholic faith that many Catholic theologians of former ages were not able to express. Why are there only two processions and not an infinite regress?

The objector asks, "if God is infinite, why does he not keep communicating the Divinity to an inf...

Whether the procession of love in God is generation?

C.f., ST.I.Q30.A2.Rep2;  Sent.I.D13.Q1.A3; Sent.III.D8.Q1.A1.Rep8; SCG4.C19; QDePot.Q2.A4.Rep7; QDePot.Q10.A2.Rep22;  CT.BookI.C46

If we are to more profoundly investigate the notion of the "volitional concept" (for lack of a better term), we understand that it is static, but dynamic. For, the interior enunciation produced by love draws the man to his beloved. This is unlike knowing which can be descri...

Whether any other procession exists in God besides that of the Word?

Thus far, we have investigated the first procession in the Godhead, i.e., Divine generation by way of intellection which produces the Son/Word. Yet, in other places, it is revealed that there is a second View Post

After considering the concept procession in general, we can consider the formal character of each in particular. In revelation, we are told that there are two processions in God. First, there is a procession tha...

In the beginning of the tract De Deo Trino, we are instantly faced with two central principles of St. Thomas' theological method, 1. The principle of the "golden mean," 2. The principle that heretics, in the words of St. Augustine, "help [the Catholi...

Sneak Peek at a Future Project

Hello everyone, sadly, Astro rescheduled for next week. 


But, I thought I'd share a little sneak peek to a small project that I am working on. It is a little catechism on the Particular Examen of St. Ignatius...it's not going to be for public use, but I will distribute it privately for those who wish to learn about it (and anyone else is free to as well). 


Anyways, this is only like 1/5 of it, but enough to be interesting. Also, yes, my grammar is h...

Patreon Video Playlist

Been very busy this week, so I didnt get the chance to record another patron video...BUT, I did get the idea to make a patron video playlist to make things easier for all of us. 


(If someone wanted to be the best person ever and make it for me, I would be beyond appreciative...if not, I'll just chug through it tonight or tmmr night).
