The Western Doctrine of God as Pure Act: A Historical Analysis from Victorinus to Aquinas.

In this video, we explore the deeper Theological significance of the doctrine of Actus Purus. Moving beyond the superficial level commonly engaged by apologists, this video seeks to plumb the depths of God as Pure Act from the perspective of the Trinitarian Relations.

Irenaeus, please pray for my fiance, Grace, who's been in a horrible car accident. She's in the ICU on a ventilator. Both of her femurs are broken, along with her spine and many more bones. Her brain is starting to swell. Please pray for her, ask everyone you know to, and ask for St Thomas Aquinas to heal her of brain injuries. He's the patron saint of brain injuries.

Great video once again. Sorry I haven’t replied to your email, I’m on vacation. But this really ties into what we’ve been discussing and I find it extremely helpful that you’re putting this out there. Since, as you said, no one on YouTube has discussed this.

Hi Irenaeus. Do you have any plans to do more in-depth theology videos in the future?

[mariog]

Hey Irenaeus, another question, but please don’t give a lengthy response haha. I know you have things to do. Do you think hypostasis and ousia are really distinct? Thanks!

Hey Irenaeus!
I guess you've watched Jay Dyer.
What do you think of his arguments against Catholicism especially against as he calls it Absolute Divine Simplicity?


God Bless!

Hi Irenaeus, quick question. I know you are on vacation, so please don’t give a lengthy response.

Augustine says that the trinity can be named Holy Spirit in its entirety, in de trinitate book iv ch 11. Can we reconcile this with the idea that the Father is the Monarchy? And that He alone is the sole principle. Or is this one of those things Augustine says that almost everyone agrees is mistaken?

Thank you! Sorry to ask 🤣
