Feast Of St Thomas Aquinas

Thomas Aquinas was born at the family castle near Aquino, Italy, in 1225. He was the son of Count Landulf of Aquino. When he was only five years old he was sent to Benedictine Monte Cassino Monastery to be educated. When he was 14 he went to Naples to complete his education and while there joined the Dominicans. 

His family was so outraged by this that they actually had him kidnapped and held captive at Roccasecca Castle to try to keep him out of the Dominican order. He spent 15 months in the castle, and when released, rejoined the Dominicans and went to study in Paris. He was ordained in Cologne around the year 1250. While studying there under St. Albert the Great, he was nicknamed “The Dumb Ox,” due principally to his large size and quiet manner. But Thomas was anything but dumb. He became a master of Theology at Paris in 1256, and taught not only in Naples but also in Anagni, Orvieto, Rome and Viterbo. 

It was during this time that he was writing his Summa Theologia and finishing his Summa Contra Gentiles. When he was only 22 years old he was sent to teach in Cologne and he began to publish his first works. He received his doctorate at age 30. 

Thomas was a personal friend of St. Louis, the King of France, and they spent a lot of time together. Pope Clement IV offered Thomas the archbishopric of Naples, but he declined the offer. He spent much time writing and eventually his writings filled 20 hefty tomes. Unfortunately, his greatest work, Summa Theologia, was never completed because on his way to the second Council of Lyons in 1274, Thomas fell ill and died at the Cistercian monastery there. 

Lessons

St. Thomas was not only brilliant, but also very humble and holy. He is one of the greatest and most influential theologians of all time. Even seven centuries after his death, his thought still dominates Catholic teaching. His writings are characterized by the interconnection of faith and reason. He points out that even though many Christian doctrines are impossible to establish by reason, they are not contrary to reason and reach us by revelation. However, he also believed that truths such as the existence of God, His creative power, and His Providence, could in fact be discovered by natural reason. St. Thomas also wrote hymns, commentaries on Scripture, the Lord’s Prayer and the Apostle’s Creed. He was canonized by Pope John XXII in 1323, and was declared a Doctor of the Church by Pope St. Pius V in 1567. St. Thomas Aquinas is the patron of all universities, colleges, and schools. All theological students are required to study his thought and the substance of his work has become the official teaching of the Catholic Church. 

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we pray that St. Thomas Aquinas is being richly rewarded in heaven as he richly endowed us while on earth. His brilliant and beautiful writings have inspired countless souls and we are eternally grateful for his legacy. St. Thomas Aquinas, pray for us. Amen. Source 

What Did You See? Demon of The Darksome Atmosphere Appears Near the International Space Station.....

Our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against Principalities and Powers, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places. Ephesians 6:12

What is this?

• Parasite?
• Alien spaceship?
• Demon of the Darksome Atmosphere?

Here is the Video of the ISS:

Here read from St. Thomas Aquinas on where Demons reside...

Article 4. Whether our atmosphere is the demons' place of punishment?

Objection 1. It would seem that this atmosphere is not the demons' place of punishment. For a demon is a spiritual nature. But a spiritual nature is not affected by place. Therefore there is no place of punishment for demons.

Objection 2. Further, man's sin is not graver than the demons'. But man's place of punishment is hell. Much more, therefore, is it the demons' place of punishment; and consequently not the darksome atmosphere.

Objection 3. Further, the demons are punished with the pain of fire. But there is no fire in the darksome atmosphere. Therefore the darksome atmosphere is not the place of punishment for the demons.

On the contrary, Augustine says (Gen. ad lit. iii, 10), that "the darksome atmosphere is as a prison to the demons until the judgment day."

I answer that, The angels in their own nature stand midway between God and men. Now the order of Divine providence so disposes, that it procures the welfare of the inferior orders through the superior. But man's welfare is disposed by Divine providence in two ways: first of all, directly, when a man is brought unto good and withheld from evil; and this is fittingly done through the good angels. In another way, indirectly, as when anyone assailed is exercised by fighting against opposition. It was fitting for this procuring of man's welfare to be brought about through the wicked spirits, lest they should cease to be of service in the natural order. Consequently a twofold place of punishment is due to the demons: one, by reason of their sin, and this is hell; and another, in order that they may tempt men, and thus the darksome atmosphere is their due place of punishment.

Now the procuring of men's salvation is prolonged even to the judgment day: consequently, the ministry of the angels and wrestling with demons endure until then. Hence until then the good angels are sent to us here; and the demons are in this dark atmosphere for our trial: although some of them are even now in hell, to torment those whom they have led astray; just as some of the good angels are with the holy souls in heaven. But after the judgment day all the wicked, both men and angels, will be in hell, and the good in heaven.

Reply to Objection 1. A place is not penal to angel or soul as if affecting the nature by changing it, but as affecting the will by saddening it: because the angel or the soul apprehends that it is in a place not agreeable to its will.

Reply to Objection 2. One soul is not set over another in the order of nature, as the demons are over men in the order of nature; consequently there is no parallel.

Reply to Objection 3. Some have maintained that the pain of sense for demons and souls is postponed until the judgment day: and that the beatitude of the saints is likewise postponed until the judgment day. But this is erroneous, and contrary to the teaching of the Apostle (2 Corinthians 5:1): "If our earthly house of this habitation be dissolved, we have a house in heaven." Others, again, while not admitting the same of souls, admit it as to demons. But it is better to say that the same judgment is passed upon wicked souls and wicked angels, even as on good souls and good angels.

Consequently, it must be said that, although a heavenly place belongs to the glory of the angels, yet their glory is not lessened by their coming to us, for they consider that place to be their own; in the same way as we say that the bishop's honor is not lessened while he is not actually sitting on his throne. In like manner it must be said, that although the demons are not actually bound within the fire of hell while they are in this dark atmosphere, nevertheless their punishment is none the less; because they know that such confinement is their due. Hence it is said in a gloss upon James 3:6: "They carry fire of hell with them wherever they go." Nor is this contrary to what is said (Luke 8:31), "They besought the Lord not to cast them into the abyss"; for they asked for this, deeming it to be a punishment for them to be cast out of a place where they could injure men. Hence it is stated, "They [Vulg. 'He'] besought Him that He would not expel them [Vulg. 'him'] out of the country" (Mark 5:10).

Star Wars Stevie Skojec Believes That Space Aliens Are Real! Denies The Church Doctrine On The Habitat Of Demons In Lower Atmosphere! Star Wars Stevie Rejects St. Thomas Aquinas & St Paul

Demon Of The Darksome Atmosphere

The darksome atmosphere is as a prison to the demons until the judgment day. They carry fire of hell with them wherever they go. The devils besought the Lord not to cast them into the abyss; for they asked for this, deeming it to be a punishment for them to be cast out of a place where they could injure men. Hence it is stated,They besought Him that He would not expel them out of the country. St Thomas Aquinas

In the year 1864, Lucifer together with a large number of demons will be unloosed from hell Our Lady of La Salette 19 Sept. 1846 (Published by Mélanie 1879)

The demons of the air together with the Antichrist will perform great wonders on earth and in the atmosphere, and men will become more and more perverted. Our Lady of La Salette 19 Sept. 1846 (Published by Mélanie 1879) 

For the time has come when the most astonishing wonders will take place on the earth and in the air. Our Lady of La Salette 19 Sept. 1846 (Published by Mélanie 1879) 

Our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against Principalities and Powers, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places. Ephesians 6:12 

“When the Angels had sinned, and for their transgression were expelled the heavenly abodes; a large part of them were thrust ‘ into hell, called the abyss, and confined there: others of them were suffered to dwell near the moon, and in the region of the air, below the moon, and near our earth.” Eusebius of Caesarea 

Here we go again - Star Wars Stevie is so taken in with Space Aliens that he rejects Church Doctrine  on the habitat of demons He rejects St Paul and therefore rejects Scripture therefore rejects the Holy Ghost.. 

Why does Star Wars Stevie reject the Holy Ghost?

Because Star Wars Stevie knows better than the Holy Ghost.

Question for Star Wars Stevie and for this blind cult like woman followers:

Do demons reside in the earth's Atmosphere?

Yes or no?

If you say no then you are a Heretic.

If you say yes then here is the next question:

Can demons take on visible shapes that appear to the naked eye?

Yes or no?

If you say no then you are a Heretic.

If you say yes then here is the next question:

Can demons appear in the shape of a physical object?

If you say no then you are a Heretic

If you say yes then here is the next question:

Can demons appear to the naked eye as something that could be taken for a spacecraft?

Yes or no?

Well for that answer lets look at the Tweet responses from Star Wars Stevie and his cultish woman followers:

Lets start with the opinion of a silly woman:

Who said anything about demons flying around in UFOs?

This woman is an idiot. 

Again demons of the darksome atmosphere can take on the shape of what appears to the naked eye as a spacecraft - no one said anything that demons built a craft to fly around in. Again this woman follower of Star Wars Stevie is a jerk.

Here is a male follower (probably a convert) of Star Wars Stevie who dismisses Church doctrine, St. Thomas Aquinas, St Paul, Scripture and therefore the Holy Ghost and most likely believes in little green men from Mars etc...

Here's the response from Heavens Gate Cult Leader wannabe Steve Skojec:

Worldview?

Are you an idiot Star Wars Stevie?

No one said anything about the world's view.

It's all about the Church's view and the view of St. Thomas Aquinas + St Paul + Eusebius of Caesarea + Our Lady of La Salette and many more Church Fathers etc.

The world does not view UFO's as demons of the darksome atmosphere - only Holy Mother Chuch takes this view. 

The world view is that UFO's are little green men from outer Space or Space Aliens...

Star Wars Stevie says that some will lose their Catholic faith if Space Aliens turn out to be real?

Are you kidding me!

LOL!

No,  Star Wars Stevie you are losing your faith and everyone knows it - you are the one who is forever posting on 1P5 and Twitter that you have a lack of Faith and that you have dark doubts about the Catholic Church. Please don't project on the faithful Catholics.

You are the one who reject Church doctrine.

As for knowing what the Church teaches on the Habitat of Demons is not to limit God.

Here is how those who beleive that Space Aliens are real ended up..

Heaven's Gate members did not believe in the One True Faith and certainly did not believe what the Church teaches on where Demons reside.

Star Wars Stevie is headed down the same path...

Read from the pen of Star Wars Stevie that he published in 2015:

Islamic Terrorism: Altitude Bomb Detonated On Sriwijaya Air Flight (SJ182) Fell 10,000 Feet In Less Than 60 Seconds Just Four Minutes After Take Off

Sounds like a bomb detonated at 10,000ft....

Boeing 737 jet with 62 people onboard 'crashes' after 'falling 10,000ft' following takeoff from Indonesia and VANISHING off radar - as rescuers find debris in the ocean

A Boeing 737 passenger jet with 62 people onboard has disappeared over the sea after plummeting 10,000 feet shortly following takeoff from Jakarta, reports claim. The Sriwijaya Air plane took off from Soekarno-Hatta international airport on Saturday afternoon when it lost contact with the control room. The usual flight time is about 90 minutes over the Java Sea between Jakarta and Kalimantan, Indonesia's section of Borneo island. But four minutes after it took off, the Boeing B737-500 plane plunged nearly 11,000 feet in less than 60 seconds, leaving it at an altitude of just 250 feet before it vanished. There are feared to be 62 people on the 26-year-old plane, including 56 passengers - seven of whom are children and three are babies - as well as two pilots and four cabin crew. And families are now fearing the worst after rescuers looking for flight SJ182 say they have discovered suspected metal debris in the ocean north of the capital. The missing plane is an older model than the Boeing 737 MAX jet involved in two earlier fatal crashes - including the Indonesian Lion Air crash in 2018 which killed 189. Source

Sriwijaya Air Flight (SJ182) Boeing 737-500 Crashed 5 Minutes After Takeoff From Jakarta, Indonesia

 

Sriwijaya Air Boeing 737-500 crashes five minutes after take-off Jakarta Airport, Indonesia 

On 9 January, a Sriwijaya Air Boeing 737-500 (registered PK-CLC) operated domestic flight SJ182 between Jakarta and Pontianak, Indonesia. Five minutes after take-off, however, the aircraft crashed. 

On Flightradar24-data, the aircraft departed the airport of Jakarta but lost more than 10,000 feet of altitude in less than one minute, about 4 minutes after take-off. The aircraft subsequently went missing and communications with air traffic was lost. 

Adita Irawati, the Indonesian Transport Ministry spokesperson, told This Week in Asia that their services are investigating and coordinating the matter with Indonesia’s national search and rescue agency (Basarnas) and the transport safety body (KNKT). 

A local newspaper writes that the aircraft crashed close to one of the inhabited islands of the Thousand Islands, a chain of islands to the north of Jakarta’s coast. Meanwhile, the crash was confirmed by Indonesian Minister of Transportation Budi Karya Sumadi. 

According to the passenger manifest, the flight carried 6 crew members and 56 passengers. 

Pictures that appeared on social media indicate that debris of the aircraft was found. Source

MIssing Boeing 737-500 In Indonesia: Sriwijaya Air SJY182 Crashed In The Sea

 

Boeing Jet With 62 Aboard Missing After Takeoff From Jakarta 

A Boeing Co. jet with 62 people aboard is missing after losing contact with Indonesia’s aviation authorities shortly after takeoff from Jakarta. 

Sriwijaya Air Flight SJ182 was scheduled to depart from the nation’s capital to Pontianak on the island of Borneo at 1:40 p.m. local time, according to FlightRadar24 data, which tracked the plane plunging from 10,900 feet in altitude to 250 feet before it dropped off of the radar. The 26-year-old 737-500 aircraft is a much older model than the 737 Max that was grounded for 20 months in 2019 after two fatal crashes, including a Lion Air disaster that killed 189 people in 2018. 

Indonesian authorities said they have sent a search vessel from Jakarta to the plane’s last known location in the Java Sea. First responders were also deployed to the site to aid potential survivors, local TV reported. Flight SJ182 had 56 passengers on board, including seven children and three infants, along with two pilots and four cabin crew, local media reported. 

“We are aware of media reports from Jakarta, and are closely monitoring the situation,” Boeing spokeswoman Zoe Leong said in a statement. “We are working to gather more information.” Sriwijaya Air said it’s working to obtain more detailed information about the flight, and will release an official statement later.
