Because the change of the bread and wine is not terminated at the Godhead or the soul of Christ, it follows as a consequence that the Godhead or the soul of Christ is in this sacrament not by the power of the sacrament, but from real concomitance. x): "It is not necessary for the soul to be in each part of the body; it suffices that it be in some principle of the body causing the other parts to live, for each part has a natural movement of its own.". "But Christ is in this sacrament," as shown above (III:74:1. Therefore, only the flesh and blood of Christ are contained in this sacrament. Because those species can be divided infinitely. But act is in that which it actuates: wherefore the soul must be in the whole body, and in each part thereof. For matter must be proportionate to the form. Edus. I answer that, As stated above (Article 1, Reply to Objection 3; Article 3), Christ's body is in this sacrament not after the proper manner of dimensive quantity, but rather after the manner of substance. Of these certain Platonists said that the intellectual soul has an incorruptible body naturally united to it, from which it is never separated, and by means of which it is united to the corruptible body of man. A sign of which is that we observe "those who are refined in body are well endowed in mind," as stated in De Anima ii, 9. For we observe that the species and forms of things differ from one another, as the perfect and imperfect; as in the order of things, the animate are more perfect than the inanimate, and animals more perfect than plants, and man than brute animals; and in each of these genera there are various degrees. And therefore, properly speaking, Christ's body, according to the mode of being which it has in this sacrament, is perceptible neither by the sense nor by the imagination, but only by the intellect, which is called the spiritual eye. It was intended as a manual for beginners and a compilation of all of the main theological teachings of that time. Objection 2. Therefore Christ's body is not in this sacrament as in a place. And so the Philosopher says (De Anima iii) that the intellect is separate, because it is not the faculty of a corporeal organ. Christ's body is not in this sacrament definitively, because then it would be only on the particular altar where this sacrament is performed: whereas it is in heaven under its own species, and on many other altars under the sacramental species. For corruptible and incorruptible are not of the same substance. If, therefore, man were 'living' by one form, the vegetative soul, and 'animal' by another form, the sensitive soul, and "man" by another form, the intellectual soul, it would follow that man is not absolutely one. Reply to Objection 1. Summary of question number right from the first part of the second part. Therefore, it is impossible for matter to be apprehended as hot, or as having quantity, before it is actual. For although sensibility does not give incorruptibility, yet it cannot deprive intellectuality of its incorruptibility. Because His body ceases to be under this sacrament when the sacramental species cease to be present, as stated above (Article 6). Thus from the very operation of the intellect it is made clear that the intellectual principle is united to the body as its form. Reply to Objection 1. Objection 3. Although the whole Christ is under each species, yet it is so not without purpose. Objection 2. But the dimensive quantity of Christ's body is considerably larger than the dimensive quantity of the consecrated host according to every dimension. And, as was said already, this is not deception, because it is done "to represent the truth," namely, to show by this miraculous apparition that Christ's body and blood are truly in this sacrament. And to this mode can be reduced what we say of Christ, being moved accidentally, according to the existence which He has in this sacrament, in which He is not present as in a place. Thirdly, it is in keeping with its effect, in which sense it was stated above (III:74:1) that "the body is offered for the salvation of the body, and the blood for the salvation of the soul.". Therefore, if we suppose two men to have several intellects and one sensefor instance, if two men had one eyethere would be several seers, but one sight. Number follows division, and therefore so long as quantity remains actually undivided, neither is the substance of any thing several times under its proper dimensions, nor is Christ's body several times under the dimensions of the bread; and consequently not an infinite number of times, but just as many times as it is divided into parts. Now the substantial form gives being simply; therefore by its coming a thing is said to be generated simply; and by its removal to be corrupted simply. SUMMA THEOLOGICA: Prima Pars Predestination (23) and the book of life (24). The Philosopher is speaking there of the motive power of the soul. Therefore, as a surface which is of a pentagonal shape, is not tetragonal by one shape, and pentagonal by anothersince a tetragonal shape would be superfluous as contained in the pentagonalso neither is Socrates a man by one soul, and animal by another; but by one and the same soul he is both animal and man. It seems that Christ's body is in this sacrament as in a place. And therefore it is not necessary for Christ to be in this sacrament as in a place. Reply to Objection 2. Are all the dimensions of Christ's body in this sacrament? Pagans say that the existence of a powerful God is an illusion and misleading. Moreover it is perceived differently by different intellects. Therefore Christ's body is not truly there. Westmonasterii.APPROBATIO ORDINISNihil Obstat. Is the entire Christ under each species of the sacrament? But if we mean totality of species and essence, then the whole whiteness is in each part of a surface. x (Did. Further, as stated above (Article 4), the body of Christ is in this sacrament with its dimensive quantity, and with all its accidents. However, St. Aquinas provides five ways that prove that God exists and the world belongs to him. But it can be seen by a wayfarer through faith alone, like other supernatural things. One knowledge exists in the disciple and another in the master. And since knowledge is begotten according to the assimilation of the knower to the thing known, it follows that the same thing may happen to be known by several knowers; as is apparent in regard to the senses; for several see the same color, according to different likenesses. Question. Reply to Objection 1. ix, 10). i, 10), that the forms of the elements remain in the mixed body, not actually but virtually. Therefore there is but one intellect in all men. But to be in a place is an accident when compared with the extrinsic container. Objection 2. Therefore the intellect is not united to the body as its form. On the contrary, The Philosopher says (De Anima ii, 1), that "the soul is the act of a physical organic body having life potentially.". Therefore we must suppose dimensions in matter before the substantial forms, which are many belonging to one species. But the species of anything is derived from its form. Entdecke Aquinas ""Summa Theologica II"" (SCM kurz), David Mills Daniel, gebraucht; gutes Buch in groer Auswahl Vergleichen Angebote und Preise Online kaufen bei eBay Kostenlose Lieferung fr viele Artikel! For we do not say that the wall sees; rather, we say that the wall is seen. The same can be clearly shown from the nature of the human species. Text Size. Is it united to such a body by means of another body? Objection 1. Animal. But substance, as such, is not visible to the bodily eye, nor does it come under any one of the senses, nor under the imagination, but solely under the intellect, whose object is "what a thing is" (De Anima iii). Reply to Objection 5. ii, 3) that the embryo is an animal before it is a man. Further, what is susceptible of a more perfect form should itself be more perfect. Objection 2. It is well to remark that if anyone holds that the soul is composed of matter and form, it would follow that in no way could the soul be the form of the body. F. Beda Jarrett, O.P., S.T.L., A.M., Prior Provincialis AngliMARI IMMACULAT - SEDI SAPIENTI. Reply to Objection 3. Now the action of the senses is not performed without a corporeal instrument. But if it is a form by virtue of some part of itself, then that part which is the form we call the soul, and that of which it is the form we call the "primary animate," as was said above (I:75:5). Some, however, tried to maintain that the intellect is united to the body as its motor; and hence that the intellect and body form one thing so that the act of the intellect could be attributed to the whole. Whence Aristotle concludes (Ethic. Reply to Objection 2. Further, whatever has per se existence is not united to the body as its form; because a form is that by which a thing exists: so that the very existence of a form does not belong to the form by itself. For the Philosopher says (De Anima ii, 1), that "the soul is the act of a physical body which has life potentially." It would seem that besides the intellectual soul there are in man other souls essentially different from one another, such as the sensitive soul and the nutritive soul. It is likewise clear that this is impossible if, according to the opinion of Aristotle (De Anima ii, 2), it is supposed that the intellect is a part or a power of the soul which is the form of man. Further, the Philosopher says (De Gener. It is separate indeed according to its intellectual power, because the intellectual power does not belong to a corporeal organ, as the power of seeing is the act of the eye; for understanding is an act which cannot be performed by a corporeal organ, like the act of seeing. Others said that the soul is united to the body by means of a corporeal spirit. Therefore this principle by which we primarily understand, whether it be called the intellect or the intellectual soul, is the form of the body. There is a whole which is divided into parts of quantity, as a whole line, or a whole body. 76. Aquinas concludes that, although theology does not require philosophy to promote knowledge of God, philosophy nevertheless can be of service to the aims of theology. Therefore a form cannot be without its own proper matter. Summa theologiae 1a 75-76 (tr. It seems that the soul is united to the animal body by means of a body. Therefore neither is the intellectual faculty a power of the body. But matter has actual existence by the substantial form, which makes it to exist absolutely, as we have said above (Article 4). Theol.Imprimatur. Reply to Objection 1. Reply to Objection 4. The Second Part deals with man in greater depth, and the Third Part discusses Jesus Christ, who serves as mediator between God and man in Christian thought. But the dimensive quantity of the bread remains in this sacrament, as is evident to our senses. The Summa is organized into three Parts. Therefore it behooved the intellectual soul to be united to a body fitted to be a convenient organ of sense. x, 7) that the ultimate happiness of man must consist in this operation as properly belonging to him. Reply to Objection 2. On the contrary, According to the Philosopher, Metaph. But in Christ, being in Himself and being under the sacrament are not the same thing, because when we say that He is under this sacrament, we express a kind of relationship to this sacrament. Pasnau) Question On Soul Considered in Its Own Right Having considered spiritual and also corporeal creatures, we should now consider human beings, who are composed of a spiritual andcorporeal nature. Now the intellectual soul, as we have seen above (I:55:2) in the order of nature, holds the lowest place among intellectual substances; inasmuch as it is not naturally gifted with the knowledge of truth, as the angels are; but has to gather knowledge from individual things by way of the senses, as Dionysius says (Div. Concerning the first, a double consideration occurs: the first, about the mystery of the Incarnation itself, whereby God was made man for our salvation; the second . Consequently, it remains to be said, that, while the dimensions remain the same as before, there is a miraculous change wrought in the other accidents, such as shape, color, and the rest, so that flesh, or blood, or a child, is seen. F. Innocentius Apap, O.P., S.T.M., Censor. Further, it is impossible for two dimensive quantities to be together, even though one be separate from its subject, and the other in a natural body, as is clear from the Philosopher (Metaph. Augustine denies a plurality of souls, that would involve a plurality of species. Contents. For this reason, the old natural philosophers, who held that primary matter was some actual beingfor instance, fire or air, or something of that sortmaintained that nothing is generated simply, or corrupted simply; and stated that "every becoming is nothing but an alteration," as we read, Phys.
