Marriage (Aquinas 101)

Aquinas taught that, as a sacrament, marriage is a remedy for sin and a cause of grace for the spouses which conforms them to the passion of Christ, not according to its pain, but according to its charity.

Marriage therefore enables the Christian husband and Christian wife, by grace, to love each other, salvifically. Not as the savior of the other, but in imitation of the savior of both: bestowing on each other the love with which Christ loves the Church.

Imagine being the smartest man to ever live second only to the incarnate Christ Himself (and possibly our Lady too), penning down the greatest summary of theology to date, and then just straight up stopping before you finish and saying that all your work is but straw.

Absolute Chad move. St. Thomas Aquinas, pray for us.

The life of a contemplative outshines the whole cosmos. You religious are more beautiful than anything else in creation. God bless you!

[ridimapinto]

Amazing teaching!!!...wonder how many men these days are ready for a sacramental love...looks like only the priests and monks have the best understanding of marriage

[tominrichmond]

These videos are really impressive. I hope they reach a wide audience. Great to see young, orthodox, wise, and pastoral priests introducing the perennial wisdom of the Angelic Doctor to a modern audience. Well done, all around.

Thank you Aquinas 101, may God bless you!

From the essence of marriage do we derive its primary purpose--procreation.

Fantastic! When will the final episode of this series come out? I have taken notes on every episode thus far and will post a download link in the comments of the final video for anyone who can benefit. Is there any chance Aquinas 201 might be coming out in the future once this is wrapped up?

This is must be a glimpse of how St. Thomas would teach his students, in this case us watching. It's nice his students are diligent and took notes of the same things that's in the theologea and supplements.

This must be taught at schools. No materialistic understanding puts so much value and dignity in marriage.

All three times I've done it have been awesome 😅😅

THIS VIDEO SHOULD BE USED BY THE CATHOLIC CHURCH MARRIAGE PREPARATION PROCESS GIVEN TO CATHOLIC COUPLES PREPARING FOR MARRIAGE.

The Real Problem is the Breakdown in Marriage: Have you seen the rise in Annulments from 1968 compared to today within the Catholic Church? The rise in Annulments was a tsunami of Annulments: In 1968, the American church granted fewer than 600 annulments; today in 2020 it hands out more than 60, 000 a year - From less than 600 to more 60, 000 in 40 Years!

Saludos brothers.
I have a question.
Matrimony is a sacrament yes, but what happen when the union is between persons that are not baptized?. In other words, a man and a woman that want to have Childs but they belong to another religion (muslim, jews, etc, etc) or maybe they are agnostics or unbelievers (but are persons of good will).
Do they have the sacrament? do they receive the grace?. What is the relation between the matrimony sacrament and baptism?

According to Aquinas the threshhold for marriage is 14 years for boys and 12 years for girls. The age can be lowered given the maturerity of the spouse. Sex with a prepubescent spouse is not immoral and does not dissolve the marriage. For example, the marrige between Muhammad and Aisha and even the consumation of the marriage was covered by the doctrine. Remnants of these doctrines you can find in the USA where in some states even a 10 year old spouse is allowed and marrige is a legitimate defense against statutory rape.

Where can I find the specific references to the quotes described in this video?

[VERC]

@thethomisticinstitute please tell me what happens when a couple have sex before marriage and they never become husband and wife?

[matthewcamacho]

Can you do a video on the intermediate soul after death?

[johnfisher]

Nice graphics...but Dominicans until about 55 years ago wore tonsures.
