Holy Scripture / Mt. 19:9 "exceptive clause"
Last post by Geremia - November 12, 2024, 10:59:13 AMIn support of the interpretation that Matthew 5:32 or 19:9 can refer to concubinage is the fact that the word for adultery most commonly used in the OT and NT is μοιχεία, not πορνεία (cf. 1 Cor. 5:1).

Orchard et al., A Catholic Commentary on Holy Scripture:
Quote from: THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST ACCORDING TO ST MATTHEW by A. JONESAn alternative Catholic explanation (recently revived, amended and given rabbinic background by J. Bonsirven, S.J., Le Divorce dans le Nouveau Testament, Tournai 1948) objects that the usual OT and NT word for 'adultery' is μοιχεία. It maintains that πορνεία here means concubinage (cf. 1 Cor 5:1)—incestuous marriage within the degree forbidden by the Mosaic Law, Lev 18:1–17. In such a case a man in dismissing (divorcing) the woman is not only guiltless but is actually doing his duty. Our Lord inserts the clause in order to hint that the Mosaic injunctions remain (cf. CR [Clergy Review] 20 [1941], 283–94).

Catholic Resources / Crowdsourced Transcriptions
Last post by k42s - September 18, 2024, 12:37:14 PMDoes anyone have experience with online transcription projects of public-domain Catholic texts? Many websites like New Advent, Sensus Fidelium, CatholicSaints.mobi and eCatholic2000 have HTML or EPUB versions of old texts, but the raw sources are not always referenced. I'm aware of two websites that do what I'm referring to:
I'd love to hear of more examples of this (or of more people willing to volunteer), as it brings facsimiles of great Catholic works to a format that's highly readable on web browsers, e-readers and TTS services.
- Religious Bookshelf, and it's Meditations of St. Alphonsus
- Wikisource, specifically users KSandigo and Bobdole2021 (although the latter deviates from the proofreading protocol)

Theology / St. Thomas and conscience
Last post by ptlopes - September 18, 2024, 08:15:55 AMHello, everyone!
In his "Beatitude", Garrigou-Lagrange says that conscience, when binding, is called commanding or forbidding conscience. When not binding, it is called permitting or advising conscience.
However, Henri Grenier says in "Thomistic Philosophy" that antecedent conscience "binds" or "incites" and doesn't mention any permitting conscience.
In his textbook about moral philosophy, Charles Coppens writes: "conscience, then, may be defined as a practical judgment formed by reasoning from a universal principle to a particular fact, whereby I decide whether a certain individual act ought to be done or omitted, or whether it may be done or omitted, at my choice." Copper doesn't write about any "advising conscience"
Why do they disagree? Was St. Thomas clear about this?
Thanks and God bless you!

Holy Scripture / Re: Mariam = "star of the sea"...
Last post by Geremia - September 12, 2024, 05:45:05 PMSt. Bernard, in his Second Homily on Luke i. 26 in today's matins, says:
Quote from: St. Bernard of ClairvauxIt is said: And the virgin's name was Mary. Let us speak a few words upon this name, which signifieth, being interpreted, Star of the Sea, and suiteth very well the Maiden Mother, who may very meetly be likened unto a star. A star giveth forth her rays without any harm to herself, and the Virgin brought forth her Son without any hurt to her virginity. The light of a star taketh nothing away from the star itself, and the birth of her offspring took nothing away from the Virginity of Mary. She is that noble star which was to come out of Jacob, Num. xxiv. 17, whose brightness still sheddeth lustre upon all the earth, whose rays are most brilliant in heaven, and shine even unto hell, lighting up earth midway, and warming souls rather than bodies, fostering good and scaring away evil. She, I say, is a clear and shining star, twinkling with excellencies, and resplendent with example, needfully set to look down upon the surface of this great and wide sea.
