Aquinas Lecture Notes

• Father Giertyc’s Aquinas Lecture began with social and historical observations as to how society is really meant to be organized and the principals of subsidiarity.
• Some points on how Byzantine cavillation compared
• The Christian ethos at work
• The breakdown of Christian ethos in upside down sexuality and the many societal addictions  
• Historically barbarians in the black sea area and many ancient cultures resorted to and or returned to child sacrifice
• At the heart of it all is human reason vs practical reason as it relates to natural law
• Cognitive senses are from the brain while practical reason emits from the soul and a properly ordered mind /body /soul when unbalanced in the populace can corrupt society
• The joint action comes from moral reason
• 3^rd radical change that occurred was in the areas of slavery – British economic power was built on slavery
• Protestant missionaries in China evangelized successfully in China but were also met with old cultural norms
• In cases of rape that required the murder of both the criminal and the woman and or the baby as a matter of family honor for generations these killings pertained to ancient Sicily and also modern day countries in the Middle East and Southwestern Asia, (i.e Pakistan, Persia ect, – Barbaric and cruel punishments even stoning women who eloped to those unapproved by the family for marriage.
• Gaudium et Spes – a Vatican II – philosophical document in draft that became a theological text on the Church’s place in the modern world – Not mentioned by Father in either the talk nor in the Q&A portion -how it can be explained that separation of Church and State was formally condemned by multiple Popes over centuries – nor how and why this  Gaudium et Spes document was sanitized of mention of the evils of communism nor why the other 15 documents of Vatican II made no mention of the most raging issue in the world at the time which was also communism
