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.

This ability to mix the public and the private, as well as the ability to use bots to engage with users has proved to be problematic. In early 2021, a database selling phone numbers pulled from Facebook was selling numbers for $20 per lookup. Similarly, security researchers found a network of deepfake bots on the platform that were generating images of people submitted by users to create non-consensual imagery, some of which involved children. In addition, Telegram's architecture limits the ability to slow the spread of false information: the lack of a central public feed, and the fact that comments are easily disabled in channels, reduce the space for public pushback. As the war in Ukraine rages, the messaging app Telegram has emerged as the go-to place for unfiltered live war updates for both Ukrainian refugees and increasingly isolated Russians alike. During the operations, Sebi officials seized various records and documents, including 34 mobile phones, six laptops, four desktops, four tablets, two hard drive disks and one pen drive from the custody of these persons. Additionally, investors are often instructed to deposit monies into personal bank accounts of individuals who claim to represent a legitimate entity, and/or into an unrelated corporate account. To lend credence and to lure unsuspecting victims, perpetrators usually claim that their entity and/or the investment schemes are approved by financial authorities.
