The Most DANGEROUS Kinds of Sins w/ Fr. Gregory Pine, OP

*Pine with Aquinas

(Your comments on slothe reminded me) I realized years ago that an action of goodness is a relationship between both our intentions and our capacity to represent our intentions through action. Our actions are for the benefits of others (on a spiritual level) but our intentions are entirely for ourselves (on a spiritual level). This is because we can perform an action that appears good but the intention behind it is what builds up or eats away our soul within.

[@MissPopuri]

That’s beautiful. It’s a harmony between loving God and loving your neighbor as yourself.

[@johnteeling4679]

@@MissPopuri True but how to identify the difference is what I find hard.

[@margokupelian344]

@@johnteeling4679 I think it has to do with your conscience that’s educated and formed by the Holy Spirit.

[@arkofthecovenant6235]

I like hearing your amplified concepts because they reveal new insights 🕯👍🏼🕯

[@margokupelian344]

I really enjoy listening to your short videos. They are compact and concise in content and very informative. May God bless you and keep you faithful to your mission to serve Him according to His will. Amen.
Charity is the root of ALL virtues. ❤️❤️❤️

[@wierdpocket]

Please, please, please talk about how to remedy sloth.

[@elf-lordsfriarofthemeadowl2039]

Seconded

[@LostArchivist]

Excellent as always. Also as always this channel has an eerie way of speaking of my innermost conflicts and providing what I need to go onwards.
When I struggled with solipsism I see the enemy was leading me towards the sin of sloth towards despair...or lust if I wanted to jump ship. Not surprising, but the answer was as always Trust God and His Mercy. He can make light out of darkness and existence out of nothing.

[@ColleenW2019]

Great insights, thank you! Will have to listen to this again.

[@nickm9182]

Wow. I’m glad these things were revealed to me. Thank you.

[@primaveralily3453]

Thanks so much

[@vootee1]

Thank you, Father Gregory! You are helping me immerse into the brilliant teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas!

[@normavara3575]

Thank you

[@Mrsjones028]

You clearly have an abundant charity for yourself

I really enjoy your podcast Fr. Pine. Please keep it up!! By the way, how do we send you questions?

[@CanisDei]

You can send in live chats. Short videos doesn’t have live chats as they are pre-recorded. If Fr. Pine goes live, you can be sure to ask questions in live chat.

[@AGreyesmorales]

Muchos sins, but mucho más Love :p

[@prosperitynuggets]

Which books of Thomas Aquinas does he talk about this subject?

[@kcc879]

Are there books where I can read about st Thomas’ teachings for laymen? I actually had thoughts on charity and the workplace….

[@charlesblackman7491]

GK Chesterton book on the life of St. Thomas is a good place to start .It gives you a excellent biography and a excellent basic description of Thomas philosophy and teachings.

[@OpEditorial]

Essentially most of the virtues are a kind of neutral good or benevolent indifference (a bit like God himself)

[@CatholicK5357]

The one who demonstrated that He can do know more to show how much He loves us by dying on the Cross for us is the least benevolent indifferent being ever.

[@OpEditorial]

@@CatholicK5357 sure, but all the "sins" (including the original one) keep on keeping on regardless

[@CatholicK5357]

@@OpEditorial We each have a life time to "sin" or else be charitable to God and neighbour. One day our ability to sin will not "keep on keeping on" because our time will be up. Then the judgement.

[@christineOfs]

Thank you for this Father! A question I have, but we are not being uncharitable when it comes to the pope or church leaders allowing pagan ceremonies on God's Sacred Altar, such as "smudging" Amazonian cleansing on the Altar....and Pachemamas. Can you comment on that our obedience must be to God and not to bad bishops who dissent of the Catholic teachings and breaking God's Holy Commandments. God Bless.

[@christineOfs]

I only comment on this because some maybe unclear on obedience.

[@brotherandrew3393]

Christine Vivaldo: We are called to love our enemies. If you don't love those you call "bad" or "evil" you are not in your Heavenly Fathers business.

[@brotherandrew3393]

@nicole flores You did not get the point. I was talking about enemies not evil people. And you are not allowed to judge someone as "evil" because you are not God. As a Catholic you have to obey your bishops regardless wether you think they are evil because of their office. Only if they demand from you something that is obviously evil you can refuse to obey. So tell me EXACTLY what kind of evil is demanded from you by a bishop and explain to me WHY you think it is evil.

[@brotherandrew3393]

@nicole flores Which clergy demands you to sin? Tell me a specific request of a specific clergy to sin. No one ever told anyone to WORSHIP pachamama. That is nonsense. This thing is used as a symbol and therefore has a symbolic meaning. Symbols can not be worshipped. I guess you don't understand this.

[@yeahssir]

As far as I'm aware, we still ought to obey them by the authority that was given them, especially with them still being in communion with Rome. Jesus said of the Pharisees to obey them but not to do as they do, and I think that applies here with these Bishops and other clergy. Unless obviously opposing the Will of God (ie leading us to sin), we must respect and obey their authority, and even when we should not obey, we must do so in as respectful and humble a manner as is possible given the situation. Not to ignore their wrongs (these probably need to be acknowledged) but to respect the authority given to them.

[@m4641]

A future discussion of scandal would be terrific!

[@mikenahass3604]

Where can I obtain these definitions from Aquinas? I want to meditate through them.

[@Naviin7]

What if I had a scenario where I had a thought that came upon me along the lines of “I want ….whatever” but then reject it and didn’t actually want it, is that just temptation or would that be sin?

[@nothingnewromantics]

just temptation - you aren't responsible for every thought that comes into your head, just the ones you accept

If Vatican II was an illegitimate council, which it was, then choosing the traditional rite over the Protestant Novus Ordo is choosing the Good over the Evil.

[@RealAugustusAutumn]

@@joeteson7195 The fact that it Protestantized the Mass, democratized the doctrine of faith, and basically made it a heresy to be anything but a New Order Catholic.

[@RealAugustusAutumn]

@@joeteson7195 Because by definition an anti - Catholic doctrine cannot come from the Church and be considered legitimate. We don't follow Protestant churches, why would we follow a Protestant "Pope" ?

[@RealAugustusAutumn]

@@joeteson7195 That was only one of the objections, but still yes. By your own logic, why even meet in a church? Why confess to a priest? Why have priests at all - if the Bible is good enough, all we need is preachers or "Spiritual Counselors", right? That's the slope to Protestantism when we ignore tradition i.e. the specific way things are done.

[@elf-lordsfriarofthemeadowl2039]

@@RealAugustusAutumn There is a very big difference with the little 't' traditions of the church which pertain to expressions and practices of the faithful during mass, and the captiol 'T' Traditions written and sanctified found within the Sacraments.
The Novus Ordo has some different traditions, but not a different Tradition.
Although it is more similar to some protestant worship services the NO Mass is still very Catholic. (I'm a former Protestant)

[@RealAugustusAutumn]

@@elf-lordsfriarofthemeadowl2039 It is not "very Catholic" if you're coming from an actual Catholic church or even the Orthodox. They changed the liturgy to be reflective of Protestant theology, and democratized the doctrines to encourage cooperation among the denominations. That is not a good thing. By lowering one's standards to attract the heretical masses, they've become heretics themselves. There is no reverence in the NO mass. Attendees don't even believe in the real presence, and how could they? When laypeople are allowed to touch the body of christ, when churches don't even have a tabernacle, when the priest faces the congregation like a Preacher, instead of the altar like a leader. Everything is reflective of a deep sickness.
