As the Psalmist sings, "My heart and my flesh rejoice in the living God."
Rather than disturbances of the soul, the passions are the building blocks of love and the energy which motivate human flourishing. The question is not whether they are good or bad, but rather whether they are formed well or ill.
The Passions in General (Aquinas 101) - Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P.

The best part of this video was when Fr. Gregory is talking about desiring cookies. I could swear that I saw him blush after saying “mmm… delicious!” and then he can’t resist smiling when he talks about desiring the cookie locked up in the tower. 😂😂😂
I never knew someone could be so passionate about chocolate chip cookies
Thank you for this video!
May our Lord Jesus Christ bless you!
Excellent!! Cleared up some persistent confusion 😊thanks!’
Our pleasure!
God bless!
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:00 🌊 Emotions, like a river, can be both beneficial and destructive; they play a role in human perfection.
02:01 🧠 St. Thomas distinguishes between antecedent and consequent passions; virtues act as a dam to channel passion's energy for flourishing.
03:55 🍪 Passions originate in the sense appetite, split into concupiscible and irascible powers, responding to sensible goods or evils.
04:45 💞 Love is the root of passions; it recognizes fittingness to certain goods, driving desire, pleasure, and union with the good.
05:40 🤝 Love has two movements: concupiscence (love of the good) and friendship (love of the person); passions are building blocks of love and human flourishing.

Thank you brother God bless you.
You're welcome! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. May the Lord bless you!
The way that stick figure was walking, he got no chance getting that cookie in the tower.
Brilliant thank you
Our joy! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. May the Lord bless you!
Please make an episode about Natural Law.
Kevin Roque I think they have some that touch down on natural law, one called “Nature and Natures”, another called “good and evil”, and then the one on universals and particulars. Those have some key points on natural law. If that’s not enough, maybe look up some stuff by Jennifer Frey, she’s always killing it on natural law and virtue ethics. I even think they use one of her lectures for their courses that they email out
@@matthewmayuiers Thanks a lot. These ethical positions are so underrated given the current dominance of Deontology vs Utilitarianism.
@@kevinroque5374 So, we have a video due to come out in six weeks on Law in General and in seven weeks on Natural Law. Stay tuned!
Kevin Roque That’s facts bro
@@matthewmayuiers Cheers!
Romans 10:13
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Fantastic. Thanks
The stoics were not about apathy, they were philosophers. Marcus Aurelius was very involved in his community.
That is not the point. Apathy here is in the sense that we should suppress emotions and focus only on reason. Christian ethics does not ascribe goodness or badness to the emotions themselves, but states that they all should drive the passionate person to a higher end, namely God.
Concise.
Great video! I think a few more examples would have made it esaier to follow
Good advice! A great book on the subject if you're interested is Robert Miner's Thomas Aquinas on the Passions.
@@ThomisticInstitute Many thanks! I'm going to try to get it. Cheers!
@@fojedaquintana Cheers!
Pope Benedict XVI reflected on this subject in Deus Caritas est. I strongly suggest its reading. Long live Master Thomas, the author I've chosen as my guide in the pursuit of wisdom!!!
Juan Eduardo Villarraza *Antipope Benedict XVI. Look up vaticancatholic.com to see the true Catholic faith.
Not to complain, but there's a noticeable lack of Christology in your moral videos. Not a rejection of it but rather a lack thereof. I get the impression that some enthusiastic viewer would see these videos, gain interest in your moral prescriptions, and then proceed to live it out on their own strength - not realizing the uphill climb ahead of them. It would be nice to see consistent expositions on how Christ is the one who incarnated into our ruined humanity in order to fix it from the inside out through His life, death, resurrection, and ascension. This seems like essential information if you're going to continue to advocate your views on what it looks like to be truly human. At some point, the ultimate, true Human Being has to be mentioned, right? Lest, we assume viewers will pick that up via implication
Excellent point. In the exposition of the series, we are following St. Thomas Aquinas's layout of the Summa Theologiae. This critique is sometimes leveled against St. Thomas himself (by Karl Barth, for instance). Many of his expositors have come to his defense in this matter suggesting that the whole work has a Christological shape, trajectory, or purpose. It's our hope to communicate the same, but it's good to be reminded that we can do a better job of it along the way, so thank you.
True.. The problem is we directly focus on human passion how to resolve it by own. But through Christ we can conquere our problem...
Is Platonic / Aristotelian philosophy simply *a* philosophy, or is it *the* philosophy? I think JPII or some other pope said that the Christian faith cannot be bound in just one philosophical school because it is a revelational religion and doesn't rely on philosophy to attest to its truth. But many Thomists seem to think that this is *the* perennially true philosophy and thus it is a kind of revelation in itself.
Can you do a video on this question? For example, how often do Thomists question their own foundations in comparison to the foundations of other philosophical schools (like the work of Kant or Derrida, for example).
Pope Benedict XVI said that the ancient philosophy could not be replaced as source of reflection. It was during the inauguration of the Aparecida Synod.
I think you are correct, thrownness, about contributions made from other philosophers to our understanding of "the real". JPII of course having done his first PhD under the great Thomist Réginald Marie Garrigou-Lagrange did a second PhD in phenomenology - a sign to be sure. That being said, I think it's a question of degrees of accuracy. Immanuel Kant's thought is substantially offensive to reality, as he is involved in reducing metaphysical realities into the sphere of morality, for example. However, Kant's deontological ethics has something to say to us about the nature of duty - there are aspects we can embrace. Derrida, of course, is rightly seen as an atheist, which of course undermines vast amounts of "truths" he wants to elucidate, since they finally have no grounding in Being itself. The thing about Thomas Aquinas is that he seems to "get it right", especially concerning big ideas and first principles of reality, more than the other philosophers, which is why Catholics and many philosophers turn to Thomas first, though not exclusively. Thomas has the benefit of course of being supported by Christ himself, who said to Thomas "you have written well of me", something not said to the others.
Angelic Doctor - You should make videos. I’d love to ask you more but it’s too much for this venue. Good stuff though.
@@thrownness52 thanks for that - appreciated - God bless
@@angelicdoctor8016 To try and sum it up we would take anytime that is good and useful to our understanding and Christian life from any philosophy or thinker. Then understand what is contrary in a philosophy or thinker, why it is contrary, and move on.
Me, being stupid, and watching this video… what did he say?? 😂
Please make an episode about election
We have one on Providence and Chance (ruclips.net/video/qLK7YmfbI8A/видео.html), Freedom (ruclips.net/video/oQ5P0k6Pwb4/видео.html), and Predestination (ruclips.net/video/aV2GGMvpRz0/видео.html). I hope those help!
@@ThomisticInstitute thank you so much for responding. I appreciate your help! Unfortunately, the videos you name don't deal with election as such. I'm also very interested in the præmotio physica. I don't know if all of you friars defend a Bañezian position on these matters but I'm sure at least some of you do. Do you consider still making such a video at all or would that go beyond the scope of the Aquinas 101 videos?
@@ThomisticInstitute great videos, btw. They're short and simple but do a great job at explaining the issues in a clear and entertaining manner. I think many Catholics will be deeply thankful for your content. Greetings from 🇩🇪
@@lucdubras Righto. So, the plans are to start making short topical courses once we've worked through the Summa Theologiae. The plan is to return to virtue first and then to do some things on faith and science. Grace is another thing in which both Fr. Thomas Joseph and Fr. Dominic have interest, so we might come back to those themes, but it'll be some time before we do. Thanks for your encouragement!
What does it means of higher and lower faculties
Loving the things of God for His sake and loving the earthly things for our sake, respectively
Emotions are human but true christians are above "emotions"
Passions are inheringtly good because they were created by God. And God does not do idle things, because being true good and beautiful, that would be repugnant to His nature
You didn't even take the introduction of sin by Adam & Eve and it's many consequences -such as concupiscence- towards mankind in consideration for your idiotic pretentious monologue.
0:38 Christianity and stoics 🤯🥴 2:18 consequent passions hmmm🤔
God bless!
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. May the Lord bless you!
