Lesson Twenty-One of Aquinas 101, with Fr. James Brent, OP, PhD, STL, Asst Professor of Philosophy, Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception, Washington DC.
Is it reasonable to believe in God because of supernatural signs? Catholicism says yes: many signs confirm that God himself has revealed the mysteries of faith spelled out in the articles of the Creed. St. Thomas Aquinas says it belongs to theology to offer a narrative of those confirmatory signs. In this video, Fr. James Brent reviews the illative sense, motives of credibility, and such confirmatory signs, or evidences, for the faith.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
