• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Can a Catholic stick to Duns Scotus rather than Thomas Aquinas?

158. Contra: Damascenus libro I cap. 4: ((Si iustum, si bonum et si quod tale dixeris, - non naturam dicis Dei, sed quae circa naturam)). >Dicis autem aliquid quod praecedit actum intellectus: ergo ante omne opus et actum intellectus, est aliquid in Deo quod non est natura formaliter.

198 Ista opinio confirmatur auctoritate Damasceni cap. 4 praeallegato, et cap. 9, ubi ipse vult quod inter omnia nomina de Deo dicta, propriissimum est Qui est, quia esse dicit 'quoddam pelagus infinitae substantiae'; cetera autem - ut dixit cap. 4 - dicunt illa quae 'circumstant naturam'. Istud non videretur verum nisi esset aliqua distinctio ex parte rei; non enim est 'pelagus infinitae substantiae' propter hoc quod multae relationes rationis possunt causari circa ipsum - ita enim per actum intellectus possunt causari circa quodlibet.

209. Ista autem non identitas formalis stat cum simplicitate Dei, quia hanc differentiam necesse est esse inter essentiam et proprietatem...
