From which it is evident that the dimensions of the bread or wine are not changed into the dimensions of the body of Christ, but substance into substance. The same is to be said of totality of power: since the whiteness which is in the whole surface moves the sight more than the whiteness which is in a small part thereof. This answer does not seem sufficient; because before sin the human body was immortal not by nature, but by a gift of Divine grace; otherwise its immortality would not be forfeited through sin, as neither was the immortality of the devil. The Summa Theologica is divided into three parts. Now it happens that different things, according to different forms, are likened to the same thing. But when breathing ceases, the soul is separated from the body. The relations of origin relations of origin (28). For Augustine says (De Qq. Objection 3. Objection 3. But the flesh and blood which appear by miracle are not consecrated, nor are they converted into Christ's true body and blood. This is clear if, as Plato maintained, man is the intellect itself. Which opinion is rejected by Aristotle (De Anima ii, 2), with regard to those parts of the soul which use corporeal organs; for this reason, that in those animals which continue to live when they have been divided in each part are observed the operations of the soul, as sense and appetite. But this link or union does not sufficiently explain the fact, that the act of the intellect is the act of Socrates. Now the human soul is the highest and noblest of forms. Further, when the cause is removed, the effect is also removed. Reply to Objection 4. Avicenna held that the substantial forms of the elements remain entire in the mixed body; and that the mixture is made by the contrary qualities of the elements being reduced to an average. Nevertheless the breath is a means of moving, as the first instrument of motion. An animal is that which is composed of a soul and a whole body, which is the soul's primary and proportionate perfectible. Therefore we must say, in accordance with the Philosopher (De Gener. If, therefore, in man it be incorruptible, the sensitive soul in man and brute animals will not be of the same "genus." Pagans say that the existence of a powerful God is an illusion and misleading. To this end, Aquinas cites proofs for the existence of God and outlines the activities and nature of God. It follows therefore that the intellectual principle is the proper form of man. Man must therefore derive his species from that which is the principle of this operation. Thirdly, this is shown to be impossible by the fact that when one operation of the soul is intense it impedes another, which could never be the case unless the principle of action were essentially one. Therefore He is moved when it is moved. Objection 2. It follows, therefore, that it is altogether impossible and unreasonable to maintain that there exists one intellect for all men. The embryo has first of all a soul which is merely sensitive, and when this is removed, it is supplanted by a more perfect soul, which is both sensitive and intellectual: as will be shown further on (I:118:2 ad 2). But the part which moves is the soul. Therefore the whole Christ is not contained under each species. But Christ's body is at rest in heaven. It follows therefore that the intellect by which Socrates understands is a part of Socrates, so that in some way it is united to the body of Socrates. Reply to Objection 3. He intended it to be the sum of all known learning as explained according to the philosophy of Aristotle (384-322 bce) and his Arabian commentators (which was being introduced to western European thought at . animal. FIRST PART (QQ. Averroes maintained that the forms of elements, by reason of their imperfection, are a medium between accidental and substantial forms, and so can be "more" or "less"; and therefore in the mixture they are modified and reduced to an average, so that one form emerges from them. Now matter subject to dimension is not to be found except in a body. Now it is clear that the intellectual soul, by virtue of its very being, is united to the body as its form; yet, after the dissolution of the body, the intellectual soul retains its own being. Reply to Objection 1. 78: The Specific Powers of the Soul: Now it is clear that no matter how the intellect is united or coupled to this or that man, the intellect has the precedence of all the other things which appertain to man; for the sensitive powers obey the intellect, and are at its service. And as life appears through various operations in different degrees of living things, that whereby we primarily perform each of all these vital actions is the soul. Therefore, for like reason, the glorified eye can see Christ as He is in this sacrament. The distinction between Socrates and Plato would be no other than that of one man with a tunic and another with a cloak; which is quite absurd. And so the Philosopher says (De Anima iii) that the intellect is separate, because it is not the faculty of a corporeal organ. Thus Aristotle argues, Metaph. New English Translation of St. Thomas Aquinas's Summa Theologiae (Summa Theologica) by Alfred J. Freddoso University of Notre Dame Pars Secunda-Secundae (Part 2-2) Table of contents: Part 2-2: Faith: . Therefore we must presuppose accidents to be in matter before the substantial form; and therefore before the soul, since the soul is a substantial form.

But the difference which constitutes man is "rational," which is applied to man on account of his intellectual principle. Therefore it exists only in an organic body. Objection 1. Summa Theologica Theme. But the soul seems to be one chiefly on account of the intellect. I answer that, The eye is of two kinds, namely, the bodily eye properly so-called, and the intellectual eye, so-called by similitude. First, because the intellect does not move the body except through the appetite, the movement of which presupposes the operation of the intellect. On the contrary, it is impossible for the same thing to be in motion and at rest, else contradictories would be verified of the same subject. The first cannot stand, as was shown above (I:75:4), for this reason, that it is one and the same man who is conscious both that he understands, and that he senses. Therefore, apparently it is impossible for the entire Christ to be under every part of the species. Objection 3. Therefore since the bodies of other animals are naturally provided with a covering, for instance, with hair instead of clothes, and hoofs instead of shoes; and are, moreover, naturally provided with arms, as claws, teeth, and horns; it seems that the intellectual soul should not have been united to a body which is imperfect as being deprived of the above means of protection. Because the change of the bread and wine is not terminated at the Godhead or the soul of Christ, it follows as a consequence that the Godhead or the soul of Christ is in this sacrament not by the power of the sacrament, but from real concomitance. Moreover it is perceived differently by different intellects. Reply to Objection 1. But the measure of the bread and wine is much smaller than the measure of Christ's body. But no dimensive quantity is contained entirely in any whole, and in its every part. Further, whatever has per se existence is not united to the body as its form; because a form is that by which a thing exists: so that the very existence of a form does not belong to the form by itself. This quality of the mixture is the proper disposition for the substantial form of the mixed body; for instance, the form of a stone, or of any sort of soul. For this reason we observe that there is a greater variety of parts in perfect than in imperfect animals; and in these a greater variety than in plants. It would seem that the intellectual soul is improperly united to such a body. Nevertheless the substance of Christ's body is not the subject of those dimensions, as was the substance of the bread: and therefore the substance of the bread was there locally by reason of its dimensions, because it was compared with that place through the medium of its own dimensions; but the substance of Christ's body is compared with that place through the medium of foreign dimensions, so that, on the contrary, the proper dimensions of Christ's body are compared with that place through the medium of substance; which is contrary to the notion of a located body. But that it is not outside the superficies of the sacrament, nor on any other part of the altar, is due not to its being there definitively or circumscriptively, but to its being there by consecration and conversion of the bread and wine, as stated above (Article 1; 15, 2, sqq.). For that part which is the organ of a nobler power, is a nobler part of the body: as also is that part which serves the same power in a nobler manner. Whence it is clear that when the soul is called the act, the soul itself is included; as when we say that heat is the act of what is hot, and light of what is lucid; not as though lucid and light were two separate things, but because a thing is made lucid by the light. But the intellectual action is not the action of a body, as appears from above (I:75:2). Objection 3. Is the body of Christ in this sacrament locally? i, 4. But various parts of matter are unintelligible without division in measurable quantities. Therefore, it should not be united to a body which is composed of parts belonging to various species. Therefore also the soul is thus united to the body. Westmonasterii.APPROBATIO ORDINISNihil Obstat. And as a light body remains light, when removed from its proper place, retaining meanwhile an aptitude and an inclination for its proper place; so the human soul retains its proper existence when separated from the body, having an aptitude and a natural inclination to be united to the body. Further, the truth ought to correspond with the figure. Therefore in man the essence of the intellectual soul, the sensitive soul, and the nutritive soul, cannot be the same. Whence it follows that elements in the mixed body would be distinct as to situation. We must therefore conclude that in man the sensitive soul, the intellectual soul, and the nutritive soul are numerically one soul. On the contrary, Augustine says in a sermon (Gregory, Sacramentarium): "Each receives Christ the Lord, Who is entire under every morsel, nor is He less in each portion, but bestows Himself entire under each.". In the body is there any other substantial form? Further, the Philosopher says (De Anima. Objection 3. The body of Christ remains in this sacrament not only until the morrow, but also in the future, so long as the sacramental species remain: and when they cease, Christ's body ceases to be under them, not because it depends on them, but because the relationship of Christ's body to those species is taken away, in the same way as God ceases to be the Lord of a creature which ceases to exist. The union of soul and body ceases at the cessation of breath, not because this is the means of union, but because of the removal of that disposition by which the body is disposed for such a union. This is, however, absurd for many reasons. But, according to the opinion of Plato, the thing understood exists outside the soul in the same condition as those under which it is understood; for he supposed that the natures of things exist separate from matter. And, as was said already, this is not deception, because it is done "to represent the truth," namely, to show by this miraculous apparition that Christ's body and blood are truly in this sacrament. Further, whatever exists in a thing by reason of its nature exists in it always. But it is not the same with any other glorified eye, because Christ's eye is under this sacrament, in which no other glorified eye is conformed to it. Further, what is once "in being" cannot be again "in becoming." Consequently, it is impossible for the whole dimensive quantity of Christ's body to be in this sacrament. Objection 4. But this seems unlikely. Further, the thing understood is in the intellect which understands. Augustine denies a plurality of souls, that would involve a plurality of species. Hence in no way is Christ's body locally in this sacrament. Objection 3. SUMMA THEOLOGICA: Prima Pars Predestination (23) and the book of life (24). Reply to Objection 1. But act is in that which it actuates: wherefore the soul must be in the whole body, and in each part thereof. But the sensitive soul in the horse, the lion, and other brute animals, is corruptible. And if to this we add that to understand, which is the act of the intellect, is not affected by any organ other than the intellect itself; it will further follow that there is but one agent and one action: that is to say that all men are but one "understander," and have but one act of understanding, in regard, that is, of one intelligible object. But since "Christ rising from the dead dieth now no more" (Romans 6:9), His soul is always really united with His body. In Christ's Passion, of which this is the memorial, the other parts of the body were not separated from one another, as the blood was, but the body remained entire, according to Exodus 12:46: "You shall not break a bone thereof." It seems that the whole Christ is not contained under both species of this sacrament. Therefore the soul is united to the human body by means of a body. It is likewise clear that this is impossible if, according to the opinion of Aristotle (De Anima ii, 2), it is supposed that the intellect is a part or a power of the soul which is the form of man. v). This is suitable to the intellectual soul, which, although it be one in its essence, yet on account of its perfection, is manifold in power: and therefore, for its various operations it requires various dispositions in the parts of the body to which it is united. The human soul, by reason of its perfection, is not a form merged in matter, or entirely embraced by matter. The same is to be said of the sensitive soul in brute animals, and of the nutritive soul in plants, and universally of all more perfect forms with regard to the imperfect. As stated above, the body of Christ is not under the species of wine by the power of the sacrament, but by real concomitance: and therefore by the consecration of the wine the body of Christ is not there of itself, but concomitantly. But what is not in a place, is not moved of itself locally, but only according to the motion of the subject in which it is. And then there would not be a real mixture which is in respect of the whole; but only a mixture apparent to sense, by the juxtaposition of particles. Fathers of the English Dominican Province. Wherefore, after the consecration, the whole substance of Christ's body and blood is contained in this sacrament, just as the whole substance of the bread and wine was contained there before the consecration. It seems, therefore, to follow that there is one intellect in all men. I answer that, As stated above (Article 1), any part of Christ is in this sacrament in two ways: in one way, by the power of the sacrament; in another, from real concomitance. And since the conversion of the substance of the bread is terminated at the substance of the body of Christ, and since according to the manner of substance the body of Christ is properly and directly in this sacrament; such distance of parts is indeed in Christ's true body, which, however, is not compared to this sacrament according to such distance, but according to the manner of its substance, as stated above (Article 1, Reply to Objection 3). Further, the human body is a mixed body. ", I answer that, Plato held that there were several souls in one body, distinct even as to organs, to which souls he referred the different vital actions, saying that the nutritive power is in the liver, the concupiscible in the heart, and the power of knowledge in the brain. But since the soul is united to the body as its form, it must necessarily be in the whole body, and in each part thereof. Further, if Christ's body were to remain under this sacrament even until the morrow, for the same reason it will remain there during all coming time; for it cannot be said that it ceases to be there when the species pass, because the existence of Christ's body is not dependent on those species. Therefore of necessity by the same form a thing is animal and man; otherwise man would not really be the thing which is an animal, so that animal can be essentially predicated of man. Therefore it behooved the intellectual soul to be united to a body fitted to be a convenient organ of sense. Nor does it matter, as to this particular point, whether there be one intellect or many; because, even if there were but one, it would necessarily be an individual intellect, and the species whereby it understands, an individual species. Therefore there is nothing to prevent some power thereof not being the act of the body, although the soul is essentially the form of the body. Font. The parts of an animal, for instance, the eye, hand, flesh, and bones, and so forth, do not make the species; but the whole does, and therefore, properly speaking, we cannot say that these are of different species, but that they are of various dispositions. But this could not be so, if Christ were entire under every part of the species; for every part would have to be under every other part, and so where one part would be, there another part would be. For the same essential form makes man an actual being, a body, a living being, an animal, and a man. Objection 4. Further, the Philosopher says, Metaph. viii (Did. Not forms, but composites, are classified either generically or specifically. The Existence of God 3. If, on the contrary, we suppose one instrument and several principal agents, we might say that there are several agents, but one act; for example, if there be many drawing a ship by means of a rope; there will be many drawing, but one pull. But the intellectual soul is incorruptible. Objection 1. Is the intellectual principle multiplied numerically according to the number of bodies or is there one intelligence for all men? New English Translation of St. Thomas Aquinas's Summa Theologiae (Summa Theologica) by Alfred J. Freddoso University of Notre Dame Prima Pars (Part 1) Table of contents: Part 1: . The Perfection of God 5. Further, in the resurrection the saints will be equal to the angels, according to Luke 20:36. The dimensive quantity of Christ's body is in this sacrament not by way of commensuration, which is proper to quantity, and to which it belongs for the greater to be extended beyond the lesser; but in the way mentioned above (ad 1,2). For matter must be proportionate to the form. But the soul is the substantial form of man. Reply to Objection 1. He proves this from the fact that "man and the sun generate man from matter." Now it is evident that the whole nature of a substance is under every part of the dimensions under which it is contained; just as the entire nature of air is under every part of air, and the entire nature of bread under every part of bread; and this indifferently, whether the dimensions be actually divided (as when the air is divided or the bread cut), or whether they be actually undivided, but potentially divisible. 2 - The Existence of God (Three Articles) Question. It seems that Christ's body is not truly there when flesh or a child appears miraculously in this sacrament. For the proper qualities of the elements remain, though modified; and in them is the power of the elementary forms. Reply to Objection 3. Theol.Imprimatur. From this it is clear how to answer the Second and Third objections: since, in order that man may be able to understand all things by means of his intellect, and that his intellect may understand immaterial things and universals, it is sufficient that the intellectual power be not the act of the body. Thus the intellectual soul contains virtually whatever belongs to the sensitive soul of brute animals, and to the nutritive souls of plants. Reviewed by Christopher Martin, Center for Thomistic Studies, University of St. Thomas (TX) 2015.04.21 F. Innocentius Apap, O.P., S.T.M., Censor. Therefore in man the essence of the sensitive soul is not the same as the essence of the intellectual soul. For our eyes are hindered from beholding Christ's body in this sacrament, on account of the sacramental species veiling it. Thus one part would not depend on another; nor would one part be nobler than another; which is clearly untrue. Reply to Objection 1. But the blood is one of the parts of the human body, as Aristotle proves (De Anima Histor. Thus the soul is not in a part. x). Now it is clear that common nature becomes distinct and multiplied by reason of the individuating principles which come from the matter. Question 76 - OF THE UNION OF BODY AND SOUL (In . Reply to Objection 3. For it involves nothing unreasonable that the same movable thing be moved by several motors; and still less if it be moved according to its various parts. Now in one intellect, from different phantasms of the same species, only one intelligible species is abstracted; as appears in one man, in whom there may be different phantasms of a stone; yet from all of them only one intelligible species of a stone is abstracted; by which the intellect of that one man, by one operation, understands the nature of a stone, notwithstanding the diversity of phantasms. Hence since it is seen in its proper species, and is adored in heaven, it is not seen under its proper species in this sacrament. But substance, as such, is not visible to the bodily eye, nor does it come under any one of the senses, nor under the imagination, but solely under the intellect, whose object is "what a thing is" (De Anima iii). For it is manifest that, supposing there is one principal agent, and two instruments, we can say that there is one agent absolutely, but several actions; as when one man touches several things with his two hands, there will be one who touches, but two contacts. Some of the powers of the soul are in it according as it exceeds the entire capacity of the body, namely the intellect and the will; whence these powers are not said to be in any part of the body. Reply to Objection 1. The determinate distance of parts in an organic body is based upon its dimensive quantity; but the nature of substance precedes even dimensive quantity. It would seem that in man there is another form besides the intellectual soul. On the contrary, As long as a thing remains the same, it cannot at the same time be seen by the same eye under diverse species. It seems that Christ's body is in this sacrament as in a place. ii, 3) that the embryo is an animal before it is a man. But a form which requires variety in the parts, such as a soul, and specially the soul of perfect animals, is not equally related to the whole and the parts: hence it is not divided accidentally when the whole is divided. ii, 3) that the relation of universal causes to universals is like the relation of particular causes to individuals. Now it is clear that because the colors, the images of which are in the sight, are on a wall, the action of seeing is not attributed to the wall: for we do not say that the wall sees, but rather that it is seen. 76 - OF THE UNION OF BODY AND SOUL (EIGHT ARTICLES) Objection 1. As has been already stated (III:75:5, after the consecration of the bread into the body of Christ, or of the wine into His blood, the accidents of both remain. Reply to Objection 3. But, according to the commandment (Exodus 12:10), concerning the Paschal Lamb, a figure of this sacrament, "there remained nothing until the morning." Canonicus Surmont, Vicarius Generalis. Further, Christ is in this sacrament, forasmuch as it is ordained to the refection of the faithful, which consists in food and drink, as stated above (III:74:1). Number follows division, and therefore so long as quantity remains actually undivided, neither is the substance of any thing several times under its proper dimensions, nor is Christ's body several times under the dimensions of the bread; and consequently not an infinite number of times, but just as many times as it is divided into parts. vii, 2), that the genus is taken from the matter, and difference from the form. Now what is added is always more perfect. On the contrary, When such apparition takes place, the same reverence is shown to it as was shown at first, which would not be done if Christ were not truly there, to Whom we show reverence of "latria." But the substantial form gives substantial being. Further, it was stated above (Article 1, Reply to Objection 1) that all the other parts of the body, such as the bones, nerves, and the like, are comprised under the name of flesh. Now this would not be the case if the various principles of the soul's operations were essentially different, and distributed in the various parts of the body. The Summa Theologica, as its title indicates, is a "theological summary." It seeks to describe the relationship between God and man and to explain how man's reconciliation with the Divine is made possible at all through Christ. If, however, the soul is united to the body as its form, as we have said (Article 1), it is impossible for it to be united by means of another body. It is this spiritual soul which, substantially joined with matter, sets up and constitutes an existing human being. On the Simplicity of God 4. The dimensions of the consecrated bread and wine continue, while a miraculous change is wrought in the other accidents, as stated above. And since in this way no change is made in the sacrament, it is manifest that, when such apparition occurs, Christ does not cease to be under this sacrament. v, 1); for a thing is said to move or act, either by virtue of its whole self, for instance, as a physician heals; or by virtue of a part, as a man sees by his eye; or through an accidental quality, as when we say that something that is white builds, because it is accidental to the builder to be white. But the glorified eye cannot be hindered by anything from seeing bodies as they are. Therefore since, as we have said, the intellectual soul contains virtually what belongs to the sensitive soul, and something more, reason can consider separately what belongs to the power of the sensitive soul, as something imperfect and material.
