501 2, 1 | 1] Out. Para. 3/4~About faith itself we shall consider: (
502 2, 1 | its act; (3) ~the habit of faith.~Aquin.: SMT SS Q[1] Out.
503 2, 1 | 1) Whether the object of faith is the First Truth?~(2)
504 2, 1 | 2) Whether the object of faith is something complex or
505 2, 1 | anything false can come under faith?~(4) Whether the object
506 2, 1 | 4) Whether the object of faith can be anything seen?~(5)
507 2, 1 | the same articles are of faith for all times?~(8) Of the
508 2, 1 | right to propose a symbol of faith?~Aquin.: SMT SS Q[1] A[1]
509 2, 1 | 1~Whether the object of faith is the First Truth?~Aquin.:
510 2, 1 | seem that the object of faith is not the First Truth. ~
511 2, 1 | seems that the object of faith is that which is proposed
512 2, 1 | Therefore the object of faith is not only the ~First Truth.~
513 2, 1 | Para. 1/1~OBJ 2: Further, faith and unbelief have the same
514 2, 1 | an ~unbeliever. Therefore faith also is about all things
515 2, 1 | Therefore the object of faith is not only the First Truth,
516 2, 1 | Para. 1/1~OBJ 3: Further, faith is condivided with charity,
517 2, 1 | Therefore the object of Faith is not only ~the First Truth.~
518 2, 1 | says (Div. Nom. vii) that "faith is about the ~simple and
519 2, 1 | Therefore the ~object of faith is the First Truth.~Aquin.:
520 2, 1 | Accordingly if we consider, in faith, the formal aspect of the
521 2, 1 | the First Truth. For the faith of which we are ~speaking,
522 2, 1 | Hence the mean on which faith is based is the Divine Truth.
523 2, 1 | materially the things to which faith assents, they ~include not
524 2, 1 | come under the assent of faith, except as bearing some
525 2, 1 | view also the object of faith is, in a ~way, the First
526 2, 1 | much as nothing comes under faith except in ~relation to God,
527 2, 1 | creatures whatever, come under faith, in so far as ~by them we
528 2, 1 | 1~Whether the object of faith is something complex, by
529 2, 1 | seem that the object of faith is not something complex ~
530 2, 1 | proposition. For the object of faith is the First Truth, as ~
531 2, 1 | Therefore ~the object of faith is not something complex.~
532 2, 1 | Further, the exposition of faith is contained in the symbol.
533 2, 1 | Therefore the object of faith is not a proposition but
534 2, 1 | Para. 1/1~OBJ 3: Further, faith is succeeded by vision,
535 2, 1 | Essence. ~Therefore the faith of the wayfarer is also.~
536 2, 1 | Para. 1/1~On the contrary, Faith is a mean between science
537 2, 1 | propositions, it seems that faith is likewise about ~propositions;
538 2, 1 | Accordingly the object of faith may be considered in two
539 2, 1 | and thus the object of faith ~is something simple, namely
540 2, 1 | itself about which we have faith. ~Secondly, on the part
541 2, 1 | this respect the object of ~faith is something complex by
542 2, 1 | considers the object of faith on the part of ~the thing
543 2, 1 | mentions the things about which faith is, in so ~far as the act
544 2, 1 | their means, so is it in faith.~Aquin.: SMT SS Q[1] A[2]
545 2, 1 | understanding. On the other hand, by faith, we do not apprehend ~the
546 2, 1 | anything false can come under faith? ~Aquin.: SMT SS Q[1] A[
547 2, 1 | something false can come under faith. For ~faith is condivided
548 2, 1 | can come under faith. For ~faith is condivided with hope
549 2, 1 | false can be the object ~of faith.~Aquin.: SMT SS Q[1] A[3]
550 2, 1 | Therefore the ~object of faith can be something false.~
551 2, 1 | something false ~can come under faith.~Aquin.: SMT SS Q[1] A[3]
552 2, 1 | Further, it is a matter of faith, that one should believe
553 2, 1 | something false can come under faith.~Aquin.: SMT SS Q[1] A[3]
554 2, 1 | declares (Ethic. vi, 2). Now faith is a virtue that perfects
555 2, 1 | aspect of the object of faith is the First Truth; so that
556 2, 1 | nothing can ~come under faith, save in so far as it stands
557 2, 1 | nothing false ~can come under faith.~Aquin.: SMT SS Q[1] A[3]
558 2, 1 | is doing. ~Therefore, as faith perfects the intellect,
559 2, 1 | thus that it comes under faith. ~Hence in so far as it
560 2, 1 | so far as it comes under faith, it cannot be false.~Aquin.:
561 2, 1 | deceived was not due to their faith, but to a human conjecture. ~
562 2, 1 | opinion to be the ~outcome of faith.~Aquin.: SMT SS Q[1] A[3]
563 2, 1 | Para. 1/1~Reply OBJ 4: The faith of the believer is not directed
564 2, 1 | anything false ~comes under faith.~Aquin.: SMT SS Q[1] A[4]
565 2, 1 | 1~Whether the object of faith can be something seen?~Aquin.:
566 2, 1 | seem that the object of faith is something seen. For Our ~
567 2, 1 | believed." Therefore vision and faith regard the same object.~
568 2, 1 | speaking of the knowledge of faith, ~says (1 Cor. 13:12): "
569 2, 1 | Para. 1/1~OBJ 3: Further, faith is a spiritual light. Now
570 2, 1 | every light. Therefore faith is of things seen.~Aquin.:
571 2, 1 | Domini, Serm. xxxiii). But faith is of things heard, according ~
572 2, 1 | according ~to Rm. 10:17: "Faith . . . cometh by hearing."

585 2, 1 | those things that are of faith can be an ~object of science.
586 2, 1 | Therefore things that are of faith can be an object of science.~
587 2, 1 | inculcate things that are of faith. Therefore such ~things

592 2, 1 | in Poster. i. ~Therefore faith and science can be about
593 2, 1 | it is the object, not of faith, but of perception." ~Therefore
594 2, 1 | Therefore things that are of faith are not the object of perception, ~
595 2, 1 | Therefore there can be no faith about things which are an
596 2, 1 | another man, an object of faith, because he does not ~know
597 2, 1 | the things which ~are of faith simply. Consequently faith
598 2, 1 | faith simply. Consequently faith and science are not about
599 2, 1 | ignorance of things that are of faith, ~for neither do they see
600 2, 1 | demonstration, but by the light of faith which makes them see that
601 2, 1 | prove things that are ~of faith, are not demonstrations;

606 2, 1 | know them first of ~all by faith.~Aquin.: SMT SS Q[1] A[5]
607 2, 1 | above about science and faith; yet it is possible for
608 2, 1 | man to have science and faith about the same thing relatively,
609 2, 1 | of the Godhead, and, by faith, the Trinity. On ~the other
610 2, 1 | incompatible with either opinion or faith, ~yet for different reasons.
611 2, 1 | that which is the object of faith, on account of the ~certainty
612 2, 1 | account of the ~certainty of faith, is also deemed impossible
613 2, 1 | reason why science and faith cannot be about the same
614 2, 1 | seen whereas ~the object of faith is the unseen, as stated
615 2, 1 | those things that are of faith should be divided into certain ~
616 2, 1 | those things that are of faith should not be ~divided into
617 2, 1 | Holy Writ are ~matters of faith. But these, by reason of
618 2, 1 | distinguish certain articles of faith.~Aquin.: SMT SS Q[1] A[6]
619 2, 1 | aspect of ~the object of faith is one and indivisible,
620 2, 1 | Truth, so that matters of faith cannot be distinguished
621 2, 1 | material division of matters of faith into articles.~Aquin.: SMT
622 2, 1 | it seems that matters of faith should not be divided into ~
623 2, 1 | intellect. Therefore matters of faith should be divided into articles.~
624 2, 1 | Hence matters of Christian faith are said to contain distinct

626 2, 1 | belief are in themselves of ~faith, while others are of faith,
627 2, 1 | faith, while others are of faith, not in themselves but only
628 2, 1 | since the chief object of faith consists in those things ~
629 2, 1 | according to Heb. 11:2: "Faith is the substance of ~things
630 2, 1 | things are in themselves ~of faith, which order us directly
631 2, 1 | are distinct articles of faith. On ~the other hand certain

633 2, 1 | aspect of all matters of faith, viz. the First Truth: and
634 2, 1 | formal aspect of matters of faith, can be considered from
635 2, 1 | formal aspect of a matter of faith is that it is ~something
636 2, 1 | various distinct ~articles of faith, as we saw above.~Aquin.:
