Not only did I not know that interlibrary loan from the public library could get books from universities, but also books in Italian from law schools where only 3 copies are present in the whole US.

Since Cajetan’s position on lucrum cessans is much weaker than his successors and they explicitly rely on him, showing the errors of his position a fortiori undermine the universal LC of later authors.

Mary’s “How can this be?” to Gabriel only makes sense in the context of a vow of perpetual virginity even in marriage to Joseph for otherwise it would be obvious that she would conceive of Joseph.

@hf_222222 Being an ideologue not withstanding, there is serious problem in modern people's ability to distinguish physical and moral species of human acts. Mutilation and medical intervention may be more or less physically equivalent, but remain morally distinct.

The Church and the world must be so very confusing for old men who misunderstand them both so badly. (xenotransplantation to restore function has zero implications for Church teaching on gender ideology or mutilating surgeries).

Is training animals tricks similar to virtue as a sort of second nature?

My second design. A vent deflector fitted to my vent to keep the air from going up into the curtains rather than the house.

@realbriankemple One of the things Peterson got right was that social media amplifies stupidity by decreasing the cost of publishing.

A few words of Scripture can lead to greater contemplation than the whole corpus of the philosophers. A poor fisherman writing by dim candle light in a backwater province of the Empire is greater than all the pagan philosophers of every age.

If you do not yet realize you are a monster, capable of the worst sins and have been prevented from them by the mercy of God, you are likely still a Pelegian relying upon your own strength to please God.

Truly, LinkedIn is the most cursed of all social media. (If you don’t see it, I can help you—but I won’t.)

Economics is downstream of law, so when we move to a will theory of contracts it is plausible we would reduce economics to utility maximization.

It confirms again that Cajetan only admits voluntary lucrum cessans when charity compels a merchant to lend. I think that’s wrong but it shows how extremely limited he allows voluntary lucurm cessans.

What is “I was raised Catholic” supposed to say? It’s not like Catholic doctrine is a set of gnostic mysteries that only the elect are ushered into. The encyclicals, councils, catechisms are easily available online.
