"Nice but its actually senseless to hold this. The debitum peccati is described as a certain oughtness of incurring original sin that comes by being of the seminal ratio of Adam and proximately by the fomes peccati being present during the intercourse of ones parents. It was this debitum that was frustrated by the IC. If this was not the case there would have been nothing to prevent (I know I know play on words) by the singular grace granted to Our Lady. This doesnt sufficiently preserve the teaching of the Immaculate Conception at all. In this case Our Lady would have been merely born natura"

""Debitum" is in the accusative case here so it is the object. The full sentence is a bit complex: "Quando enim est cum intentione procreandae prolis tunc est meritoria; quando autem redditur tantum debitum tunc etiam est opus iustitiae et virtutis; quando autem est tantum causa exercendae libidinis tunc est veniali vel cum veniale quando scilicet non excedit limites matrimonii quando autem excedit ut scilicet si posset extenderet se ad aliam tunc est mortale quia in suo consensu est mortale.""

"Divine Simplicity and Divine Naming (from St. Thomas' Roman Lectures on the Sentences): My favorite discussion of St. Thomas' view on Divine Naming and Divine Simplicity comes from his little known (and recently discovered) second commentary on the Sentences that he gave when in Rome from 1265-67.

"Q. Why do the Fathers say that the Spirit is from the substance  of the Son (St. Athanasius explains) A.

St. Athanasius explains in De Synodis that many Arians abused the phrase as to mean that the Son was created.yet the council fathers specifically used the phrase in order to safeguard the consubstantiality"

"None of the erotic Catholic art (le trad renaissance) defenders could ever consistently argue against something like strip clubs or soft core p*rn. How could they seeing they think the contemplation of the female body is somehow the peak of our spirituality (because SoS or reasons) Its an immensely stupid ideology that relies on complete and utter naturalism in relation to the fallen state"

"@owenbroadcast Art is for the purpose of the contemplation of its beauty. De facto nude art is for the contemplation of nude bodies which is morally impossible to do without at least some form of concupiscence arising. Cant see how someone could get around it by some tertium quid"
