Zig Forums is representative of nerds who think Jay Dyer and Most Meme Monastery are the epitome of theological discourse and The Young Pope is a based trad cath show. I would be careful about taking to heart anything anyone says here, unless it is said in a spirit of charity (and I'm myself guilty of being uncharitable and angry here).
Do you need to have a Thomistic view of God to be Catholic?

Aren't thus guys sedevacantists? Why should any Catholic listen to them?
I've heard of this series. Is it good or is it just American trash with heresies?
Adam Jenkins
They get a pass when they argue against Protestants and Orthodox.
I don't watch TV series but AFAIK it's alright (I've seen both pious Christians and antitheists think it is great), but the extreme strictness of the protagonist is not supposed to be an exemple to follow. But again I haven't watched the show so I'm not going to die on a hill attacking or defending it.

If you can get past the sodomite scenes it is a pretty decent show about the church up there with Borgia IMO

Observe OP, even more vitriol for those who merely hold up a mirror.
I never said it did. Re-read what the user I quoted wrote. That's what I was highlighting.
We don't have a problem with philosophy for it's own sake, we have a problem with overly relying on it for the proposes of attempting to gain divine wisdom. The truth revealed to us by Jesus and the holy spirit should take priority over the limited faculties of man alone, and we should respect those things which were left as divine mysteries. That is all. Do not misrepresent our position as some heretical distaste for the divine gift of human reason.
Nicholas Bell
S-sodomite scenes?
No one is trying to get divine wisdom.
There are things which can be proved simply by the human reason like the existance of God, and others that can't be, like the Trinity. Only the faith can prove it.
Nevertheless every teaching of the church is supported by the Bible and Tradition.
Every other thing is pure personal opinion or speculation. One famous example is the limbo of infants where it is supposed unbaptised babies go when they die. We can't find support for it on tradition and the Bible, so it is just an opinion and no one is forced to believe it at all and in the last few years theologians have been rejecting it. So in this case your opinion is as good as mine, provided it isn't heretical.
The only error I can find in that user sentence is that thomism is true, since there are issues with it that even people who like thomism disagree. It's a very good philosophical view but not 100% true. It is true that it's mainstream on the Church since the Dominicans played a great role in Catholic theology but we also have the school of the jesuits (the non gay ones) and several others. And the user explicitly says one can be a Catholic without being a thomist which would be incompatible if what you said was true. The user is probably a real thomist though. One can be a good Catholic without even knowing shit about any of the church philosophical schools or that they even exist.

The irony is impeccable.

Jay dyer is clearly a psy-op. He even admitted to being groomed by a known CIA school in california. He's basically the Alex Jones of Christianity, just be Catholic, the answer is so obvious. You really think Jesus cares more about some autistic philosophy about energies and shit than about unity? It's "become as little children," not "become as prideful fedora-tippers."
Landon Price
ironic that you would post that
