Objection 3. The union of body and soul Is the intellectual principle united to the body as its form? The relations of origin relations of origin (28). But the species of anything is derived from its form. But each part of the human body is not an organic body. It seems that the whole dimensive quantity of Christ's body is not in this sacrament. Now an action may be attributed to anyone in three ways, as is clear from the Philosopher (Phys. One knowledge exists in the disciple and another in the master. Because those species can be divided infinitely. 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. But when such apparitions occur, it is evident that Christ is not present under His own species, because the entire Christ is contained in this sacrament, and He remains entire under the form in which He ascended to heaven: yet what appears miraculously in this sacrament is sometimes seen as a small particle of flesh, or at times as a small child. But act is in that which it actuates: wherefore the soul must be in the whole body, and in each part thereof. Therefore, the glorified eye can see Christ's body as it is in this sacrament. Aa Aa. vii, 6). Further, since Christ's is an organic body, it has parts determinately distant. Wherefore it excels corporeal matter in its power by the fact that it has an operation and a power in which corporeal matter has no share whatever. But Christ's body as it is in this sacrament cannot be seen by any bodily eye. Others said it is united to the body by means of light, which, they say, is a body and of the nature of the fifth essence; so that the vegetative soul would be united to the body by means of the light of the sidereal heaven; the sensible soul, by means of the light of the crystal heaven; and the intellectual soul by means of the light of the empyrean heaven. Is the entire Christ under each species of the sacrament? Further, when the cause is removed, the effect is also removed. It seems, then, that straightway on the morrow, or after a short time, He ceases to be under this sacrament. Animal. Objection 2. But with regard to the intellectual part, he seems to leave it in doubt whether it be "only logically" distinct from the other parts of the soul, "or also locally.". Objection 3. But if the species be abstracted from the conditions of individual matter, there will be a likeness of the nature without those things which make it distinct and multiplied; thus there will be knowledge of the universal. This answer does not seem sufficient; because before sin the human body was immortal not by nature, but by a gift of Divine grace; otherwise its immortality would not be forfeited through sin, as neither was the immortality of the devil. Therefore, if we have one form by which a thing is an animal, and another form by which it is a man, it follows either that one of these two things could not be predicated of the other, except accidentally, supposing these two forms not to be ordered to one anotheror that one would be predicated of the other according to the second manner of essential predication, if one soul be presupposed to the other. Now the proper operation of man as man is to understand; because he thereby surpasses all other animals. The first part covers the nature of God, creation, angels, man, and divine government (sovereignty). Since, however, the soul has not quantitative totality, neither essentially, nor accidentally, as we have seen; it is enough to say that the whole soul is in each part of the body, by totality of perfection and of essence, but not by totality of power. Question 76 - OF THE UNION OF BODY AND SOUL (In . On the contrary, According to the Philosopher, Metaph. ii, 2), the ultimate natural form to which the consideration of the natural philosopher is directed is indeed separate; yet it exists in matter. 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. x). Hence it remains that Christ's body is not in this sacrament as in a place, but after the manner of substance, that is to say, in that way in which substance is contained by dimensions; because the substance of Christ's body succeeds the substance of bread in this sacrament: hence as the substance of bread was not locally under its dimensions, but after the manner of substance, so neither is the substance of Christ's body. And among men, those who have the best sense of touch have the best intelligence. Hence we read in the profession of faith at Ephesus (P. I., chap. ii, 3) that the embryo is an animal before it is a man. Further, in the resurrection the saints will be equal to the angels, according to Luke 20:36. Therefore the intellect is not united to the body as its form. Not forms, but composites, are classified either generically or specifically. Now matter subject to dimension is not to be found except in a body. Therefore the intellectual soul may be compared to the body animated by a sensitive soul, as form to matter. But our Lord said (John 6:56): "My flesh is meat indeed, and My blood is drink indeed." And therefore it is manifest that the entire Christ is under every part of the species of the bread, even while the host remains entire, and not merely when it is broken, as some say, giving the example of an image which appears in a mirror, which appears as one in the unbroken mirror, whereas when the mirror is broken, there is an image in each part of the broken mirror: for the comparison is not perfect, because the multiplying of such images results in the broken mirror on account of the various reflections in the various parts of the mirror; but here there is only one consecration, whereby Christ's body is in this sacrament. Objection 1. Therefore the more the organ of touch is reduced to an equable complexion, the more sensitive will be the touch. And therefore those accidents of Christ's body which are intrinsic to it are in this sacrament. Therefore it exists only in an organic body. Objection 5. In the same way neither is it moved of itself according to the being which it has in this sacrament, by any other change whatever, as for instance, that it ceases to be under this sacrament: because whatever possesses unfailing existence of itself, cannot be the principle of failing; but when something else fails, then it ceases to be in it; just as God, Whose existence is unfailing and immortal, ceases to be in some corruptible creature because such corruptible creature ceases to exist. In the body, the form of which is an intellectual principle, is there some other soul? For every form exists in its proper disposed matter. Nor does it matter that sometimes Christ's entire body is not seen there, but part of His flesh, or else that it is not seen in youthful guise, but in the semblance of a child, because it lies within the power of a glorified body for it to be seen by a non-glorified eye either entirely or in part, and under its own semblance or in strange guise, as will be said later (Supplement:85:2-3). Objection 2. In like manner, the soul is said to be the "act of a body," etc., because by the soul it is a body, and is organic, and has life potentially. Objection 4. The place in which Christ's body is, is not empty; nor yet is it properly filled with the substance of Christ's body, which is not there locally, as stated above; but it is filled with the sacramental species, which have to fill the place either because of the nature of dimensions, or at least miraculously, as they also subsist miraculously after the fashion of substance. It seems that Christ's body is not truly there when flesh or a child appears miraculously in this sacrament. It seems that Christ's body is in this sacrament as in a place. iii). And then there would not be a real mixture which is in respect of the whole; but only a mixture apparent to sense, by the juxtaposition of particles. There is also a whole which is divided into logical and essential parts: as a thing defined is divided into the parts of a definition, and a composite into matter and form. lxxxiii): "Some are so foolish as to say that the mystical blessing departs from the sacrament, if any of its fragments remain until the next day: for Christ's consecrated body is not changed, and the power of the blessing, and the life-giving grace is perpetually in it." But primary matter cannot be moved (Phys. But it is not the same with any other glorified eye, because Christ's eye is under this sacrament, in which no other glorified eye is conformed to it. But the intellectual soul has the power of sense in all its completeness; because what belongs to the inferior nature pre-exists more perfectly in the superior, as Dionysius says (Div. Further, the thing understood is in the intellect which understands. For the proper qualities of the elements remain, though modified; and in them is the power of the elementary forms. Neither, therefore, if this sacrament be reserved until morning, will Christ's body be there; and so it is not immovably in this sacrament. Therefore the soul should be united to a most subtle body, to fire, for instance, and not to a mixed body, still less to a terrestrial body. I answer that, It is absolutely necessary to confess according to Catholic faith that the entire Christ is in this sacrament. But it exists in matter so far as the soul itself, to which this power belongs, is the form of the body, and the term of human generation. Therefore if there were not in man some other substantial form besides the rational soul, and if this were to inhere immediately to primary matter; it would follow that it ranks among the most imperfect forms which inhere to matter immediately. A proof of which is, that on the withdrawal of the soul, no part of the body retains its proper action; although that which retains its species, retains the action of the species. Objection 1. Avicenna held that the substantial forms of the elements remain entire in the mixed body; and that the mixture is made by the contrary qualities of the elements being reduced to an average. And therefore had this sacrament been celebrated during those three days when He was dead, the soul of Christ would not have been there, neither by the power of the sacrament, nor from real concomitance. Objection 4. Pagans say that the existence of a powerful God is an illusion and misleading. The same is to be said of the sensitive soul in brute animals, and of the nutritive soul in plants, and universally of all more perfect forms with regard to the imperfect. Because His body ceases to be under this sacrament when the sacramental species cease to be present, as stated above (Article 6). On the contrary, Of one thing there is but one substantial being. On the contrary, It is said in the book De Ecclesiasticis Dogmatibus xv: "Nor do we say that there are two souls in one man, as James and other Syrians write; one, animal, by which the body is animated, and which is mingled with the blood; the other, spiritual, which obeys the reason; but we say that it is one and the same soul in man, that both gives life to the body by being united to it, and orders itself by its own reasoning. Therefore in man and in every animal there must be another substantial form, by which the body is constituted. Further, a body of greater quantity cannot be contained under the measure of a lesser. Further, various forms of one species require various parts of matter. Therefore the body or the blood of Christ is not under those species. Now it is the nature of a body for it to be "quantity having position" (Predic. In the body is there any other substantial form? Now it happens that different things, according to different forms, are likened to the same thing. vii). But it is the act of an organic body. 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. The Nature and Extent of Sacred Doctrine 2. Therefore we must say, in accordance with the Philosopher (De Gener. Thus Aristotle argues, Metaph. 2 (Whether angels . Therefore it is impossible that the entire Christ be contained under this sacrament. Therefore neither is the intellectual faculty a power of the body. The reason therefore why Socrates understands is not because he is moved by his intellect, but rather, contrariwise, he is moved by his intellect because he understands. Objection 3. But the intellectual soul is the most perfect of souls. "But Christ is in this sacrament," as shown above (III:74:1. On the contrary, When such apparition takes place, the same reverence is shown to it as was shown at first, which would not be done if Christ were not truly there, to Whom we show reverence of "latria." It would seem that in man there is another form besides the intellectual soul. Summa theologiae 1a 75-76 (tr. This can easily be explained, if we consider the differences of species and forms. According to this being, then, Christ is not moved locally of Himself, but only accidentally, because Christ is not in this sacrament as in a place, as stated above (Article 5). There remains, therefore, no other explanation than that given by Aristotlenamely, that this particular man understands, because the intellectual principle is his form. But there are many other parts of Christ's body, for instance, the nerves, bones, and such like. Q.76: The Union of the Soul with the Body: Q. Objection 1. Objection 4. For the relation of phantasms to the intellect is like the relation of colors to the sense of sight, as he says De Anima iii, 5,7. Therefore the whole Christ is not contained under each species. Are all the dimensions of Christ's body in this sacrament? Augustine speaks there of the soul as it moves the body; whence he uses the word "administration." . If, however, the intellectual soul be united to the body as its substantial form, as we have said above (Article 1), it is impossible for another substantial form besides the intellectual soul to be found in man. It would seem that the intellectual soul is united to the body through the medium of accidental dispositions. It would seem that the intellectual principle is not multiplied according to the number of bodies, but that there is one intellect in all men. Now man is corruptible like other animals. Wherefore matter, once understood as corporeal and measurable, can be understood as distinct in its various parts, and as receptive of different forms according to the further degrees of perfection. Is the body of Christ in this sacrament locally? Seemingly, therefore, the intellect of the disciple and master is but one; and, consequently, the same applies to all men. For it involves nothing unreasonable that the same movable thing be moved by several motors; and still less if it be moved according to its various parts. Nor does it matter, as to this particular point, whether there be one intellect or many; because, even if there were but one, it would necessarily be an individual intellect, and the species whereby it understands, an individual species. But matter has actual existence by the substantial form, which makes it to exist absolutely, as we have said above (Article 4). We must therefore conclude that in man the sensitive soul, the intellectual soul, and the nutritive soul are numerically one soul. Averroes maintained that the forms of elements, by reason of their imperfection, are a medium between accidental and substantial forms, and so can be "more" or "less"; and therefore in the mixture they are modified and reduced to an average, so that one form emerges from them. Therefore it is not movably in this sacrament. Everything has unity in the same way that it has being; consequently we must judge of the multiplicity of a thing as we judge of its being. Consequently, the dimensive quantity of Christ's body is not there. F. Raphael Moss, O.P., S.T.L. So therefore quantitative totality cannot be attributed to the soul, either essentially or accidentally. 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. Therefore the entire dimensive quantity of Christ's body is in this sacrament. Reply to Objection 3. Objection 5. 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. As stated above, the body of Christ is not under the species of wine by the power of the sacrament, but by real concomitance: and therefore by the consecration of the wine the body of Christ is not there of itself, but concomitantly. Objection 5. From this it is clear how to answer the Second and Third objections: since, in order that man may be able to understand all things by means of his intellect, and that his intellect may understand immaterial things and universals, it is sufficient that the intellectual power be not the act of the body. That it is entire in each part thereof, may be concluded from this, that since a whole is that which is divided into parts, there are three kinds of totality, corresponding to three kinds of division. Edus. 1 First Part. Therefore Christ's body is in this sacrament locally. But the soul is a substantial form; and therefore it must be the form and the act, not only of the whole, but also of each part. 76 - OF THE UNION OF BODY AND SOUL (EIGHT ARTICLES) It seems, then, that it does not see Christ, as He is under the species of this sacrament. If, however, the intellectual soul is united to the body as the substantial form, as we have already said above (Article 1), it is impossible for any accidental disposition to come between the body and the soul, or between any substantial form whatever and its matter. Question 76. However, it would be possible to distinguish my intellectual action form yours by the distinction of the phantasmsthat is to say, were there one phantasm of a stone in me, and another in youif the phantasm itself, as it is one thing in me and another in you, were a form of the possible intellect; since the same agent according to divers forms produces divers actions; as, according to divers forms of things with regard to the same eye, there are divers visions. Reply to Objection 5. Therefore, if the dimensive quantity of Christ's body be in this sacrament together with the dimensive quantity of the host, the dimensive quantity of Christ's body is extended beyond the quantity of the host, which nevertheless is not without the substance of Christ's body. Again, this is clearly impossible, whatever one may hold as to the manner of the union of the intellect to this or that man. Further, power and action have the same subject; for the same subject is what can, and does, act. The Summa Theologica, as its title indicates, is a "theological summary." It seeks to describe the relationship between God and man and to explain how man's reconciliation with the Divine is made possible at all through Christ. Therefore, when such apparition occurs, Christ is under the sacrament. But the organ of touch requires to be a medium between contraries, such as hot and cold, wet and dry, and the like, of which the sense of touch has the perception; thus it is in potentiality with regard to contraries, and is able to perceive them. Therefore, only the flesh and blood of Christ are contained in this sacrament. 2 - The Existence of God (Three Articles) Question. Westmonasterii.APPROBATIO ORDINISNihil Obstat. But this is contrary to the nature of the intellect; for then the intellect would seem not to be distinct from the imagination. 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. Now it is clear that the intellectual soul, by virtue of its very being, is united to the body as its form; yet, after the dissolution of the body, the intellectual soul retains its own being. Further, what is susceptible of a more perfect form should itself be more perfect. Reply to Objection 4. viii (Did. The Summa Theologica is divided into three parts. Reply to Objection 6. Canonicus Surmont, Vicarius Generalis. Reply to Objection 2. This argument is based on the nature of a body, arising from dimensive quantity. This can be clearly seen from comparison with the sensitive faculty, from which Aristotle proceeds to consider things relating to the intellect. Thomas Aquinas's Summa Theologiae: A Guide and Commentary Brian Davies, Thomas Aquinas's Summa Theologiae: A Guide and Commentary, Oxford University Press, 2014, 454pp., $29.99 (pbk), ISBN 9780199380633. But from natural concomitance there is also in this sacrament that which is really united with that thing wherein the aforesaid conversion is terminated. For this reason among animals, man has the best sense of touch. Reply to Objection 5. Evang. Is the whole Christ under this sacrament? The way in which Christ is in this sacrament Is the whole Christ under this sacrament? Now an animal is so called from its having a sensitive soul; and, therefore, "animal" will not be one genus common to man and other animals, which is absurd. The body of Christ remains in this sacrament not only until the morrow, but also in the future, so long as the sacramental species remain: and when they cease, Christ's body ceases to be under them, not because it depends on them, but because the relationship of Christ's body to those species is taken away, in the same way as God ceases to be the Lord of a creature which ceases to exist. But that it is not outside the superficies of the sacrament, nor on any other part of the altar, is due not to its being there definitively or circumscriptively, but to its being there by consecration and conversion of the bread and wine, as stated above (Article 1; 15, 2, sqq.). Text Size. I answer that, As was observed above (Article 1, Reply to Objection 3), because the substance of Christ's body is in this sacrament by the power of the sacrament, while dimensive quantity is there by reason of real concomitance, consequently Christ's body is in this sacrament substantively, that is, in the way in which substance is under dimensions, but not after the manner of dimensions, which means, not in the way in which the dimensive quantity of a body is under the dimensive quantity of place. Therefore it is impossible for the entire dimensive quantity of Christ's body to be there. The spiritual soul of a human being is the substantial form of the living man. Therefore, it should not be united to a body which is composed of parts belonging to various species. But the dimensive quantity of Christ's body is considerably larger than the dimensive quantity of the consecrated host according to every dimension. viii (Did. Reply to Objection 2. But since the soul is united to the body as its form, it must necessarily be in the whole body, and in each part thereof. 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.". So when we say that Socrates or Plato understands, it is clear that this is not attributed to him accidentally; since it is ascribed to him as man, which is predicated of him essentially. But the shape is united to the wax without a body intervening. ", I answer that, Plato held that there were several souls in one body, distinct even as to organs, to which souls he referred the different vital actions, saying that the nutritive power is in the liver, the concupiscible in the heart, and the power of knowledge in the brain. 76. The distinction between Socrates and Plato would be no other than that of one man with a tunic and another with a cloak; which is quite absurd. If nothing, then, be contained under one species, but what is contained under the other, and if the whole Christ be contained under both, it seems that one of them is superfluous in this sacrament. Objection 2. Reply to Objection 1. F. Beda Jarrett, O.P., S.T.L., A.M., Prior Provincialis AngliMARI IMMACULAT - SEDI SAPIENTI. And this body of an equable temperament has a dignity of its own by reason of its being remote from contraries, thereby resembling in a way a heavenly body. Therefore the body to which the intellectual soul is united should be a mixed body, above others reduced to the most equable complexion. This argument deals with accidental movement, whereby things within us are moved together with us. "The human mind may perceive truth only through thinking, as is clear from Augustine." - Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica Summa Theologica is an extensive five-volume masterpiece about the. catholicism angels st-thomas-aquinas summa-theologica metaphysics user60527 asked Nov 2, 2022 at 22:05 1 vote 1 answer 111 views Therefore the action of understanding cannot be attributed to Socrates for the reason that he is moved by his intellect.
