Thank you, Fr. Cajetan. It was presented clearly, delivered superbly. (Of course it helps that the voice is awesome.)
Thank you for watching! May the Lord bless you!
Very clear, i liked this a lot
So glad to hear it! Thanks for watching, and may the Lord bless you!
Fascinating video, I'd be interested in how given the considerations here, Fr. Cuddy responds to the Meager Moral Fruits Argument Against Theism.
Thank you father for the clarification of the sacraments of our church. I am enlightened about principal cause and instrumental cause to shine grace to people. Grace is only achieve when a person willingly receives the sacrament and understands it.
You sound exactly like Fr Ripperger.
So much thanks to the excellent explanation, Fr. Cajetan Cuddy. Here's a question:
Then why there are persons that stole the holy eucaristy or these are sell for so much money to that people?

Another wonderful episode. Thanks Father! And thank you Dominicans of The Thomistic Institute!

We need a video about Purgatory!
We do have this video -- hope this helps! Thanks for watching, and may the Lord bless you! ruclips.net/video/zGZl8hzBT4c/видео.html
@@ThomisticInstitute Yes I actually watched that one some time ago!
But a specific video about "why do we believe Purgatory exists" and arguments for it would be great, as for example, Protestants don't believe.
@@redlinerumble3 Ah, I see! Thanks for the feedback -- we shall see what we can do!
Makes the human Instrumentality project have even more nefarious meaning. y'all wont get that ref
You’re not the only one to have watched Evangelion
@@themillermaster1 im the only one I know lol. might need to watch it again as life continues to kick me in the balls.
The father has a greate voice and great explanation of the topic, thank you very much.
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching, and may the Lord bless you!
Very good and clear explanation and examples
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching, and may the Lord bless you!
If only Luther had access to these videos... his misreading and disregard of Thomas is lamentable
How does grace make a person different from someone who doesn’t have it? I’ve met plenty of people who weren’t baptized and I’ve never felt different from them in any way
Do you imagine that because a person has not been baptized that they are by virtue of that status completely alienated from God's grace?
Not completely alienated but also not as fully filled with God’s grace, as the one who has been baptized, and even less so than the one who has been baptized AND is in a state of grace.
Can I get a blessing too? 😅
No, they can't. Nothing can be added to what Jesus has done. The true gospel is Jesus + Nothing. But it is human nature to try to add to the gospel.
Revelation 12
New King James Version
The Woman, the Child, and the Dragon
12 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. 2 Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.
3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. 4 His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. 5 She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne. 6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
Satan Thrown Out of Heaven
7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they [a]did not prevail, nor was a place found for [b]them in heaven any longer. 9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. 12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”
The Woman Persecuted
13 Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child. 14 But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. 15 So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. 16 But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. 17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Why does God need an instrument to deliver these sacraments to a person yet He can since we accept Him Personally?
same question could be asked about the sacrifice of Jesus (because he could have just decreed his forgiveness without the sacrifice) or God's usage of any "instrumental" means of his will such as the prophets. God wants his creation to take part in him willingly as active participants of his plan. It is fitting that God uses other means than just his sheer omnipotence to bring about grace.
@@eapooda But we are now in the new covenant times where the [Holy ] Spirit ministers directly to us
Crystal clear teaching. Thank you.
You're most welcome! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. May the Lord bless you!
Amazing, truly simple in the spirit of Aquinas. I have a question.
The sacraments are instruments which confer grace to the human person; does God only enact grace through the sacraments?
Surely, this question is not addressed to me 😁 But I'd say no. 🙂
@@therese_paula 😊 I find it interesting that God's grace isn't limited but in a way chooses to delineate it through the form of the sacraments. There must be a particular purpose.
I don't know why I find this so interesting 😊
Maybe #askafriar would be able to answer
Nosense mankind could not keep the 10 commandments. Therefore keeping sacrements is not what Jesus came for.
