Bell, Slaves of Satan, ch. 9, § "Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Regime" is a good proof that Hitler was likely perfectly possessed.

Would whale milk be permitted during medieval lent?

No. Summa Theologiæ II-II q. 147 a. 8 ad 3:

the Lenten fast lays a general prohibition even on eggs and milk foods.

Also are geese feathered game or are they poultry?

The 🇮🇹ian has "1° Cacciagione, ossia selvaggina di penna e piccione" ("Game, i.e., game birds and pigeon"). Pollame (poultry) is domestic fowl.

Also - St. Thomas seems to have given a precedent for baltimorensis iii permitting milk and eggs

Reply to Objection 3: Eggs and milk foods are forbidden to those who fast, for as much as they originate from animals that provide us with flesh: wherefore the prohibition of flesh meat takes precedence of the prohibition of eggs and milk foods. Again the Lenten fast is the most solemn of all, both because it is kept in imitation of Christ, and because it disposes us to celebrate devoutly the mysteries of our redemption. For this reason the eating of flesh meat is forbidden in every fast, while the Lenten fast lays a general prohibition even on eggs and milk foods.

!As to the use of the latter things in other fasts the custom varies among different people, and each person is bound to conform to that custom which is in vogue with those among whom he is dwelling. Hence Jerome says [*Augustine, De Lib. Arb. iii, 18; cf. De Nat. et Grat. lxvii]: "Let each province keep to its own practice, and look upon the commands of the elders as though they were the laws of the apostles."!

The 🇮🇹ian nutritionist Pellegrino Artusi, whose cookbook many 🇮🇹ian kitchens have, ranked (p. 25)—

without pretensions of scientific exactitude—the meat of different animals in diminishing order of nutritional value.

• feathered game
• beef
• veal
• poultry
• milk-fed veal
• mutton
• furred game
• lamb
• pork
• fish

I thought pork was one of the most human-flesh–like meats, so it would seem pork should be ranked higher.

also synthesis of thomistic thought, premotion physice, the sense of myster: clarity and obscurity, de gratia and de deo uno

there is also the works of fr marin sola, while i ended up rejected his theories in favour of lagrangian thomism it was very helpful in my understanding of the catholic schools of thought. i could only find these on isidore.co

Is the book Predestination a snippet from De Deo Uno?

God Bless.

Summa Theologiæ II-II q. 147 a. 8 co.:

Such are the flesh of animals that take their rest on the earth, and of those that breathe the air and their products, such as milk from those that walk on the earth, and eggs from birds. For, since such like animals are more like man in body, they afford greater pleasure as food, and greater nourishment to the human body, so that from their consumption there results a greater surplus available for seminal matter, which when abundant becomes a great incentive to lust. Hence the Church has bidden those who fast to abstain especially from these foods.
