St. Thomas Aquinas On Whether Our Atmosphere Is The Demons' Place Of Punishment?

Summa Th. I EN Qu.64 a.4

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.

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.

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 (Gn 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.

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.

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 (2Co 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 Jc 3,6: "They carry fire of hell with them wherever they go." Nor is this contrary to what is said (Lc 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" (Mc 5,10).

Cranfield University Researcher Dr. Minguk Seo Found Dead By Means Of AUTOEROTIC ASPHYXIATION?

Dr. Minguk Seo is an Aerospace Engineer at  Cranfield University.

• a very complex investigation 
• treated as an unexplained death 
• speculation is both unhelpful and could also be distressing for Dr Seo's family
• Woman arrested and then released

What's so difficult either the lady murdered him or not. Sounds like another embarrassing way to die - by means of Autoerotic Asphyxiation. Probably found dead on the bathroom floor propped by the door.  The woman took him down from the bathroom door after he was not breathing and she did not revive him. 

You will probably never hear a word of this again by the police. 

Milton Keynes woman arrested after Dr Minguk Seo found dead 

Police found the body of Dr Minguk Seo, 31, from Milton Keynes, who worked at Cranfield University, at an address in Countess Way, Broughton, on 25 January. Thames Valley Police said a post-mortem examination was inconclusive and the death was still unexplained. A 32-year-old woman from Milton Keynes has been released on bail while investigations continue. Det Supt Kevin Brown, said it was "a very complex investigation". "I would like to reassure the public that we are thoroughly investigating the circumstances and there is no wider threat to the local community," he said. "Although we have made an arrest in connection with this incident, at this stage, this is still being treated as an unexplained death, and speculation is both unhelpful and could also be distressing for Dr Seo's family, who have been made aware and are being supported at this very difficult time." A spokesman for Cranfield University, where Dr Seo was a research fellow in the Department of Aerospace Engineering, said he was "a talented and highly respected colleague". "[He] had a promising academic career ahead of him," a statement said. "Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends and all who knew him." Source

This story sounds similar to American Electronics Engineer Dr. Shane Todd who was found dead in his bathroom with noose that was attached by a pulley to a contraption that was bolted to bathroom wall.

American electronics engineer quit his job of 18 months with the Institute of Microelectronics. Singapore Police found his body two days later hanging from his bathroom door (24 June 2012). Dr. Todd was hung by a noose that was attached by a pulley to a contraption that was bolted to bathroom wall. Source

Police in Singapore destroyed two pieces of evidence tied to the death of Shane Todd, whose body was found in his apartment there in June 2012, according to the American engineer's family. The 31-year-old's parents, Rick and Mary Todd, have for months been demanding the Singapore government return the hand-made noose and towel around their son's neck when his body was discovered by his girlfriend hanging from his bathroom door. The authorities there deemed the incident a suicide yet the towel and the noose - made from a computer bag strap - contained the DNA of two unknown people, according to official reports. Source

Both of these men were 31 years old....

The Parents of Dr. Shane Todd say Chinese spies murdered him.....

British Jets Scrambled For Second Day In Response To Unidentified Aircraft

British jets scrambled for second day in response to unidentified aircraft 

The United Kingdom launched fighter jets on Thursday against unidentified aircraft approaching an "area of interest" just a day after intercepting four Russian military aircraft approaching the country. "Quick Reaction Alert Typhoon fighters from RAF Lossiemouth, supported by a Voyager Tanker from RAF Brize Norton, have been launched against aircraft approaching the UK area of interest," a Royal Air Force (RAF) spokesman said, according to Reuters. "We will not be offering any additional detail on this ongoing operation until complete," the spokesman added. The military routinely intercepts aircraft that are in the U.K.'s "area of interest," Reuters noted The latest incident comes only a day after the RAF "intercepted and escorted" four Russian strategic bombers. Officials noted that the Russian aircraft did not enter U.K. airspace. The RAF has said in the past that Russian aircraft entering its international airspace zone can pose a threat to air traffic if there is no communication with controllers. Source

Our Lady Of Loreto Is The Patroness Of St Thomas Aquinas Versus NASA Blog FEBRUARY 2022

Pope St. John XXIII made a pilgrimage to the Holy House on October 4, 1962 to pray the day before the opening of Vatican Council II, to ask the Blessed Virgin's protection of the Council. Pope Benedict made the same pilgrimage 50 years later on October 4, 2012. Source

148 days after his visit to the Flying House Pope Benedict resigned.

Our Lady of Loreto is the Patroness of Aviation?

What? No, She is not. 

The Flying House of Our Lady would NEVER violate the law of God!

The Flying House NEVER flew above 29,050ft, but modern day aircraft violate this boundary 24/7.

Many Catholics are ignorant of the boundary that God has established that man must not pass over and that is 29,050 ft or 15 cubits above the mountain tops.

This 29,050 boundary is the same level that the waters of the Deluge reached in the time of Noe cleansing the world of sin.

This boundary is the same that the fires of the final conflagration will reach at the end of days to cleanse the world of sin.

Of course none of you believe a word of this, and that is where the problem lies. 

Modern man violates the boundary but nature does not.

Modern men violate the law of God with air and space travel - all commercial flights exceed 29,050 ft 24/7.

What happens when men violate God's laws?

Punishments in one form or another. 

So with this in mind I now made  Our Lady of Loreto as the Patroness of St Thomas Aquinas Versus NASA Blog

I will invoke Our Lady of Loreto during Mass to destroy the air and space industry.

Just like a few men prayed to God to destroy the tower of Babel.

Will update regularly
