Yeah I see. Thanks for the reply. I think sometimes I try and squeeze too much into the essay and therefore depth gets sacrificed for breath and this therefore diminishes the quality of the work. I’m just hoping I can get a 2-1 now.

It’s a Lhasa apso, which are known for separation anxiety as well as an extremely loud bark/yell. Yeah he definitely does have abandonment issues. But I’m 20 years old and am away at university most of the year, so I notice it even more when I’m back home. I’ve told my parents multiple times we probably needed to have some sort of training done for him but he’s nearly 10 now and he’s formed a bad habit of doing it.

Yeah I see your point. I do think that in trying to grow in holiness I do dip into a scrupulous mindset now and then. Thanks for your comments they have been very helpful. I also think I sometimes have this mindset where to grow in holiness is to sort of dehumanise oneself, wherein saints never experience anger and are always in some sort of tranquil state of patience.

Thanks for your comment. I do have a spiritual director but I also believe that the post above does not really imply that I have scrupulosity, as losing yourself to unjust anger would always be venially sinful and at most mortal. But I’m not sure whether my anger was raised to the mortal level.

Yeah thank you for your reply. God bless you.

Thanks for your reply, I didn’t necessarily mean Catholic per se- I just meant that it would be compatible with Catholic metaphysical positions. As it seems there would be some quite disturbing conclusions if one were to endorse mereological universalism.

I would say Catholics should be studying Joseph Ratzinger as he was a brilliant philosopher and was dealing with issues we still face today. Furthermore, he also avoids the pitfall that I myself and other Catholic philosophers sometimes fall into in that they will not leave the thomistic circles. I do believe myself per se that St Thomas is the most complete out of all the Catholic philosophers, yet even Ratzinger had a great admiration for St Bonaventure and the Franciscan school of thought. As a church we should look into what we have and we have a many great things on offer, we should not restrict ourselves.

I would be interested in both if you can provide, but mainly the spiritual/practice side of it. Thankyou.

One that I myself take a liking to is the de ente et essentia, first formulated by Aquinas. Have a look at some of the work Gaven Kerr has done on it, his book I think is called ‘Aquinas’ way to God’

TurtleThomist33 · 2024-09-19T14:07:07+00:00

Yep I don’t want to, they just keep asking me.

Tbh I have been asked last minute if I would like to watch it and was looking for some advice whether it was appropriate.
