QUESTION 41 — COMPARISON OF PEOPLE WITH NOTIONAL ACTS 1. Should notional acts be attributed to people? 2. Are these actions necessary or voluntary? 3. Does the person come from nothing or from something? 4. Should we posit in God a power relating to notional acts? 5. What does this power consist of? 6. Can notional acts be completed by several people? Article 1 — Should notional acts be attributed to persons? Objections: 1. According to Boethius, “all genres, as soon as they are applied to qualify God, turn into the divine substance, with the exception of relative terms”. Now action is one of the ten genres. Therefore, if we attribute an action to God, it will belong to his essence, and not to the notion. 2 . For S. Augustine, everything that is said about God is attributed to him either as a substance or as a relation. But what belongs to the divine substance is expressed by the essential attributes; what belongs to the relationship is expressed by the names of people and by those of …More

Jesus declares: “Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do. Go and learn the meaning of the words, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ I did not come to call the righteous but sinners.” Matthew, chapter 9, verses 12 to 13 Ah well, it’s surprising! Jesus calls “sinners” to him. He Lo-o-o-o-ves sinners! Not because he encourages us to sin, but because he knows that our request for forgiveness will heal us and grant us peace of heart. His Love will be able to go through our life. Jesus comes not for the ones who are well, but for the sick, for those who need the Doctor. To acknowledge that we are sinners, to recognize that we need Jesus, to recognize that we need the Doctor is already a step ahead.

The Jesuits are in "deep decline", writes Father Julio Fernández Techera SJ, 57, rector of the Catholic University of Uruguay, in a eleven-page study dated 22 April and first circulated among Jesuits on 18 May. The main points. - The decline in admissions to the Jesuits in the West is getting worse every year. - Many members are leaving the order. - A friend told Fernández that in his province there have been 72 novices in the last ten years, while in the same period 71 Jesuits have left the Society. - 314 novices joined the Jesuits in 2023, while 319 Jesuits died. - There are currently 13,995 Jesuits, but in a few years the Society of Jesus will have disappeared from several European countries and will be insignificant in others in Europe, America and Oceania. - Africa is the only continent where the Jesuits are growing. - Since 2013, the Jesuits have lost more than 3,000 members. - "The problem is not only that many members of the order are dying and few are joining, but also that we …More

The former Pontifical Academy for Life, now the Pontifical Academy for Death, has betrayed its founder, John Paul II, and its first president, Professor Jérôme Lejeune, said George Weigel, John Paul II's biographer and neo-conservative warmonger, at a conference on bioethics held in Rome on 17-18 May. As an example, he cited the book with the euphemistic title "La Gioia della Vita" ("The Joy of Life") published by the Academy in February. It contains a prologue by the homosexual activist Vincenzo Paglia, who is also a Vatican archbishop and president of the academy. The authors of the articles in the book attempt to whitewash contraception, medically assisted procreation and euthanasia suicide. Weigel describes the book's authors as "dissenting from the authoritative teaching" of the Church, and formulates the truism that the book espouses an "anti-biblical and anti-metaphysical anthropology" that would have been " completely foreign, indeed abhorrent, to both Jérôme Lejeune and John …More

Let us ask Mary what is the kindest thing we can do for her, and she will answer: Deliver thy soul, and I will give thee my hand; show me the wounds of thy heart, and I will heal them; show me the darkness of thy mind, and I will unravel it. Thou hast lived long without me, and thy life was death; die to thy former life, and in me thou shalt live; by thine own strength thou shalt not break the chains which the world hath forged for thee. Call upon me for help, and you will experience my power, for I am your Mother, the Mother of mercy! O for this, the memorial of this day shall be the memorial of thy rebirth; be slaves of Mary, for the slavery of the Mother is the way of freedom for the children,
