Today is the feast day of two saints called the "unmercenaries". Saints Cosmas and Damian were physicians from Aegeae who offered their services to all at no cost. Their faith, charity and eventual martyrdom (289 AD) attracted many to Christianity. Honor them by serving others. pic.twitter.com/VyBwwQlRq3

The Importance of Logic
This is actually very classical. We forget that "scholastic" style encodes a kind of conversation (disputatio) and that Plato and Aristotle both wrote dialogues (and Aristotle is very dialogical even in his lectures).

A "Clarification" from the Secretariat of State
Vatican’s Secretariat of State writes to bishops of the world (via nuncios) to brief them on Pope’s civil unions remarks, to show that they refer to “particular arrangements of the state” in respect of same-sex couples, and do not touch on “church doctrine”.

Finality... and Natural Inclinations
The question of finality in nature is key to an understanding of natural law. Hence a moral philosopher or moral theologian must study natural philosophy. pic.twitter.com/UHueXblZlO

Just One Man's Opinion
Not universally true, and maybe not even true for the limited cases to which it applies. Pulling Christian teaching from quotes of individual saints is not moral theology, and even what is taken to be the result of the sanctified, connatural wisdom of a saint must be tested against Tradition and a proper moral theology.
“The more contemptible is he who commands, the more pleasing to God is the humility of him who obeys.”

St. Alphonsus Liguori on Hope
“The more a person loves God, the more reason he has to hope in Him. This hope produces in the Saints an unutterable peace, because as they love God and know how beautiful He is . . . they find all their repose in Him alone.” - Saint Alphonsus Liguori#AllHallowsEve pic.twitter.com/9U6YhxU3of
