Sin is nothing else than a morally bad act (St. Thomas, "De malo", 7:3), an act not in accord with reason informed by the Divine law. God has endowed us with reason and free-will, and a sense of responsibility; He has made us subject to His law, which is known to us by the dictates of conscience, and our acts must conform with these dictates, otherwise we sin (Romans 14:23). In every sinful act two things must be considered, the substance of the act and the want of rectitude or conformity (St. Thomas, I-II:72:1). The act is something positive. The sinner intends here and now to act in some determined matter, inordinately electing that particular good in defiance of God's law and the dictates of right reason. The deformity is not directly intended, nor is it involved in the act so far as this is physical, but in the act as coming from the will which has power over its acts and is capable of choosing this or that particular good contained within the scope of its adequate object, i.e. universal good (St. Thomas, "De malo", Q. 3, a. 2, ad 2um). God, the first cause of all reality, is the cause of the physical act as such, the free-will of the deformity (St. Thomas I-II:89:2; "De malo", 3:2). The evil act adequately considered has for its cause the free-will defectively electing some mutable good in place of the eternal good, God, and thus deviating from its true last end.

  • "Hi jack it for satan" The Catholic church is the largest charitable organization on earth. We created "The hospital" we educate more third world children for free than any educational system on earth. Yeah we sound so evil right? =P Saint Peter was the first Pope... There's be a LOT of Popes since then, which is this "anti Christ"? The Pope is NOT equal to Jesus, you obviously have no idea what you're talking about. If you want some real info on this subject, message me. I teach confirmation

  • The anti christ is the pope.Reason 1. Paul said the anti christ would sit in the christian church and hi jack it for satan.2. John said the anti christ would rule from ROME with a false christian church called the harlot. 3.Daniel also said the anti christ would come out of THE DIVIDED ROMAN EMPIRE.4. Daniel said the anti christ would change the sabbath day kill the saints and call himself jesus's equal,the pope & vatican did these things.5 JESUITS rule the freemason satanists
