What is Truth? Aquinas’s Teaching on Lying
Lecture Three of the Online Professors Series 2021-2022, with Sr Catherine Joseph Droste, OP, STB,, STL, STD, Professor of Theology & Vice-Dean, Faculty of Theology, Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum), Rome.
What is the essence of a lie? This question has been debated for centuries and with good reason. The secularization of society pushes the debate forward as Christians face new moral dilemmas regarding communication and truth. While some reject Thomas Aquinas’s teaching on lying as too rigid, Sr. Catherine Joseph Droste, OP will argue that he, in fact, offers sound, coherent, universal principles accessible to all.

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.
