"To publish Catholic journals and place them in the hands of honest men is not enough. It is necessary to spread them as far as possible that they may be read by all, and especially by those whom Christian charity demands we should tear away from the poisonous sources of evil literature." –Pope St. Pius X

Quote from: ptlopes on July 29, 2024, 05:09:54 PMWhere does St. Thomas teach the principle that "in doubt we are to stand by the view which is presumably true"?Garrigou-Lagrange, O.P., cites Summa Theologica I-II q. 57 a. 5 ad 3, which contains the famous axiom:
Quote from: St. ThomasVerum [...] intellectus practici accipitur per conformitatem ad appetitum rectum.
[T]he truth of the practical intellect depends on conformity with right appetite.
Quote from: Garrigou-LagrangeSt. Thomas, it is true, does cite at times other reflex principles, useful in forming conscience, for example, that in doubt we are to stand by the view which is presumably true. But if he seldom dwells on these reflex principles, it is because he holds that prudential certitude1039 is found in that view which is nearest to evident truth, and most in conformity, not with egoism, but with the inclination to virtue.
Quote from: St. AmbroseQuæ est pulchra in mulieribus, nisi anima, quæ in utroque sexu præstantiam possidet pulchritudinis?(quoted in Krug, De pulchritudine divina p. 64)
What is beautiful in women, if not the soul, which in either sex possesses excellence in beauty?
Quote from: St. AmbroseSolus formæ arbiter petatur Deus, qui etiam in corpore minus pulchro diligat animas pulchriores.(quoted in Krug p. 67)
Let God alone be sought as the judge of loveliness, Who loves even in less beautiful bodies the more beautiful souls.
QuoteGa 5:19-21: "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, immodesty, luxury, Idolatry, witchcrafts {φαρμακία}, enmities, contentions, emulations, wraths, quarrels, dissensions, sects, Envies, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like. Of the which I foretell you, as I have foretold to you, that they who do such things shall not obtain the kingdom of God."
QuoteRv 9:21: "Neither did they penance from their murders, nor from their sorceries {φαρμάκων},* nor from their fornication, nor from their thefts."*The New American Bible (NAB) (and NABRE) translates φαρμάκων here as "magic potions."
QuoteRv 21:8: "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers {φαρμακοῖς}, and idolaters, and all liars, they shall have their portion in the pool burning with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."
Rv 22:15: "Without are dogs, and sorcerers {φαρμακοὶ}, and unchaste, and murderers, and servers of idols, and every one that loveth and maketh a lie."
