Many of you have heard the narrative that St. Thomas and most medievals DENIED the Immaculate Conception until Bl. Scotus saved the day by, for the first time, thinking of a preservative redemption.
This narrative has been questioned by many Thomists LONG BEFORE the definition of the doctrine in 1854, going all the way back to the Council of Basel in the 15th century where Juan de Segovia defended St. Thomas against Juan de Torquemada’s claim that St. Thomas denied the teaching.
While the standard defense of St. Thomas was compiled by John of St. Thomas in the early 17th century, a more extensive defense was given in the 19th century by Norbert del Prado, including interesting evidence of the care taken in the definition of Bl. Pius IX NOT to contradict the traditional reading of St. Thomas in the Dominican Order.
This work “Divus Thomas et Bulla Dogmatica ‘Ineffabilis Deus’” was originally written in Latin, but I happen to possess an English copy that was done via AI translation.
To celebrate the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, I will be sending a copy of this translation to anyone who donates TODAY to our end of year fundraiser of ANY amount.

Watched the first 10 minutes of the Jimmy Akin video (very strange...accusing me of saying he supports Masturbation/Female Ordination, weird comment about me not looking at the camera due to autism, weird posturing of authority, etc.).
Currently fixing my floor(s), parents visiting soon, and flying to North Africa and staying there until the 2nd week in January to do some catechesis with Tavnet, so I don't know whether I'll get a full response in any time soon (might do a brief comment or two during a q+a?).
From what I've seen, idek if it is worth it. Thoughts?

Sorry I haven't been as active over the last week. I have been fixing my floors.
It looks like I will be done in the next day or two, so we will be back to normal by next week.
I appreciate your patience and continued support.

Hello,
As many of you know, I’ve had a bit of a busy week. Besides that, the end-of-year fundraiser is still going on, and we are $4,186 below our goal with a little more than a week left.
Up until Christmas, I’m offering a 90% discount on a year-long subscription to my $25 Patron tier to ANYONE donating over $25 toward the end-of-year fundraiser.
This gives you access to several benefits, including messaging, patron streams, theology videos, translations, and more.

Thank you for all your support!

How I do Research
Sorry, no stream tonight...there were so many people at the 4pm mass (1,800 people!!!) that we were turned away and had to go to the 6pm mass, so my schedule was changed.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
Tomorrow I leave for North Africa to help with the work that is done by Tavnet for the conversion of Muslims to the Catholic Faith. While I am there, I will be helping with catechesis, along with investigating the situation of such Catholics on the ground, which will culminate in a documentary.
In other news, I am nearing the end of our annual end of year fundraiser and we are still $2,650 short of our $15,000 goal. This money will go towards placing us on the right footing at the beginning of 2025 to continue the current activities of Scholastic Answers, along with various new activities I have planned for 2025, including expanded involvement in Tavnet (which will include multiple overseas trips), continued advanced research in scholastic theology, hiring new individuals to help with research and production, and much, much more that will continue the expansion of the various projects that many of you have benefitted from.
You can learn more about these goals on my donate page.
