[@ignatiusjackson235]

This is such a gracious thing to hear. God bless you for your sincerity! If you're really looking to take your spiritual life to the next level, I would suggest reading the Church Fathers: particularly the Confessions of St. Augustine, as well as the Apostolic Fathers, those who were around in the late 1st Century, many of whom were taught directly by the Apostles themselves: Ignatius of Antioch, Polycarp of Smyrna, Justin Martyr. Other classics include the writings of Irenaeus of Lyon, Anthony the Great, Athanasius of Alexandria, Jerome of Stridon, etc. Best of luck on your spiritual journey! Peace be with you.

[@JohnPopeII]

Matt, I just wanted to send you a note of encouragement and gratitude for your work on your Pints with Aquinas channel. In my opinion, you're the best Catholic interviewer out there. I just watched your interviews with Fr. Gregory Pine and Fr. Michael O'Loughlin, and that debate you did with the Capturing Christianity "bloke." One area of discussion that I might encourage you to pursue is the Church's teachings on the literal truth of Genesis (by which I mean, a plain text reading, and acceptance of its sacred historical accuracy). In the Capturing Christianity discussion,you seemed to hedge a bit? (not having studied the issue, I recall you saying) on whether Adam and Eve were real people. I think you said that you were personally inclined to believe they were based on Jesus' & Paul's reference to them as being actual people. Fair enough. Maybe an interview with Fr. Ripperger or, Hugh Owen, or Ryan Grant would be worthwhile? They could defend a literal perspective of Creation, quite readily, I believe. Your extended interview format would lend itself to that kind of interview. You could ask the hard questions! In your interview with Fr. Gregory Pine (what a fantastic Dominican!), he said that he wasn't sure that St. Thomas Aquinas got the questions on Creation quite right. He preferred St. Augustine's treatment of it, instead. Certainly, St. Augustine famously wrote that the Days of Creation referred to Angels, and believed creation to be instantaneous (it is thought, do to having a bad translation of Scripture). He, nevertheless, defended a literal reading of Genesis in Book XV of, the "City of God". (See link below.) Keep up the great work! Cheers, John St. Augustine ends Book XV quite beautifully, "And since this is so, if not even the most audacious will presume to assert that these things were written without a purpose, or that though the events really happened they mean nothing, or that they did not really happen, but are only allegory, or that at all events they are far from having any figurative reference to the church; if it has been made out that, on the other hand, we must rather believe that there was a wise purpose in their being committed to memory and to writing, and that they did happen, and have a significance, and that this significance has a prophetic reference to the church, then this book, having served this purpose, may now be closed, that we may go on to trace in the history subsequent to the deluge the courses of the two cities - the earthly, that lives according to men, and the heavenly, that lives according to God." www.newadvent.org/fathers/120115.htm

[@Rosary-Crusader]

Dear Matt, I was listening to the discussion about the vicious man whom has had a death bed conversion and received a plenary indulgence and goes to heaven. It is worth meditating that such a soul may only have a thimble, a little cup of Glory in heaven. They would be perfectly happy, but a thimble of Glory for all eternity. Now consider a Saint like Saint Francis of Assisi whom will have a vast seraphic ocean of Gods Glory flaming in heaven for all eternity. Being a great Saint has a great reward in heaven. Both the vicious repentant sinner and the great Saint may enter heaven at the same time, but both will have vastly different cups of Glory for all eternity.

[@TheLeonhamm]

Another goody - a keeper, in fact. Both Purgatory and Indulgence - believe it or not, if I understand them correctly - relate to love, God's love, Love Himself, and our response to the demands of this relationship. What currently seems to be 'odd' or 'weird' to us is the idea that justice can be loving, and charity can also be just - i.e. that 'love' makes demands and requires what is due .. whether we like the notion of such a relationship or not. Yo! ;o)

[@dianthevanweerden4380]

Protestant vs. Catholic views on Purgatory are closely tied to their respective views of grace. Catholics believe in an infusion of grace - it enters you through participation in the sacraments and works in you to make you a perfect creation that can stand in the presence of God. Protestants believe grace is imputed to you - God looks at you, as you are, through Jesus' sacrifice and sees you as a perfected being who can stand in His presence. The former requires purgatory to make up for any unfinished work that did not occur in this life while the latter does not. In case anyone else was thinking 'I know I'm not supposed to believe on Purgatory but it makes so much sense!'

also like that you mentioned panentheism. In case there is any interest in what that means, I wrote a paper on that in my undergrad studies. Short answer I think I concluded that the various types of panentheism are almost the steps between pantheism and theism, but never approach the truth of theism because as an advocate of the position said, all forms of panentheism put God on par with the world.

[@kylepfeifer6576]

On the question of Dominican spirituality, Fr. Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange, OP, did a synthesis of Thomist and Carmelite theology. St Theresa of Avila had Dominican and otherwise Scholastic (though Jesuit) spiritual directors; one of which was the famous Domingo Banez. St John of the Cross learned Scholastic theology at Salamanca. (I am assuming these guys were all, at least broadly speaking, Thomist. Though I supposed it could have been a more Suarezian version.) The via-negativa works well with the Carmelite "Nada"; and St Theresa, while she believes the transcendence of God is important, still maintains the importance of the "sacramental" nature of the Hypostatic Union.

[@spqrd13]

About the topic of the vicious sinner getting a plenary indulgence when they die. We must remember what the requirements for getting a plenary indulgence are, particularly that one my be detached from all sin even venial. So if a vicious sinner were to do all requirements for a plenary indulgence but still be attached to sin then he would only get a partial indulgence.

[@luciadeloach9932]

I really appreciate your perspective on studying Aquinas. I feel we can get too caught up in thinking every single thing is 100% correct or must be correct because we respect that saint. So, this perspective seems a lot more healthy spiritually.

[@RomanusVII]

40:44 I was under the understanding that the numbering of days for partial indulgences was the number of days equal to how long penance was done. Like when a priest used to assign “14 days in sackcloth and ashes in penance” for example (penances were much harsher then), these indulgences were equal to that for 800 days or however long it was listed.

[@donjojohannes]

Your understanding is correct. The numbering of days comes from the days of public penance assigned to a sin in the early church that could be shortened on account of certain good deeds by the penitent that were viewed as substituting partially or wholly the penance due to that sin. The numbering was however long carried on when that penitential practice had ceased leading some to assume that the number of days assigned to a certain prayer was indeed number of days in purgatory - a misconception.

[@supergene256]

Hey Matt. How could you not be “into” de Montfort??! What do you mean exactly?? You should really read “True Devotion” and “Secret of the Rosary” again. St. Louis-Marie is practically a Marian Doctor of the Church, nobody wrote better about Our Lady (the saints say so)!

[@abelj5145]

@@_random_dude Hey CT, thanks for the reply. Yeah I get where you are coming from, but we view it differently. For us those in Heaven are actually more alive than we are, they're with The Father and they are perfected in righteousness. So we aren't praying to those who are dead but to those in heaven who like I said are more alive than we are. Again when I say prayer I mean it in the traditional sense not like worship. Like you know long ago in like Shakespeare someone might say 'I pray thee tell' or something. I think for a lot of people this meaning has changed over time and pray is the same thing as worship and when we 'pray' we are also worshiping Mary which isn't true. For us death cannot seperate the body of Christ and we think those in heaven are also apart of the body of Christ, the Church. While we are on earth we call this the Church militant, but nevertheless we are still one. So those in heaven are also apart of the body of Christ so yes we can pray for one another, like the Church praying for others in the Church they're always going to pray for us as we are one body. Why not pray to Jesus? There is absolutely no reason not to ( I mean apart from why people don't usually pray to Jesus, I sometimes don't cause I'm lazy or ashamed or whatnot), but yeah we should pray to Jesus, but us asking for prayers does not take away from the Glory of Jesus in any way. And I certainly think it's possible for those in heaven to pray for us, and while I don't know how exactly they are able to hear our prayers because I don't exactly know how heaven works, it would be weird to say God cannot allow those in heaven to pray to Him for us, as after all we are one body on Christ Jesus. Sorry for long message. God bless you Jesus loves you!
