Nor is there any deception there, as occurs in the feats of magicians, because such species is divinely formed in the eye in order to represent some truth, namely, for the purpose of showing that Christ's body is truly under this sacrament; just as Christ without deception appeared to the disciples who were going to Emmaus. Reply to Objection 2. Therefore the whole soul is not in each part. Therefore, as the species of colors are in the sight, so are the species of phantasms in the possible intellect. But our Lord said (John 6:56): "My flesh is meat indeed, and My blood is drink indeed." Objection 2. For the common nature is understood as apart from the individuating principles; whereas such is not its mode of existence outside the soul. But in Christ, being in Himself and being under the sacrament are not the same thing, because when we say that He is under this sacrament, we express a kind of relationship to this sacrament. For the proper qualities of the elements remain, though modified; and in them is the power of the elementary forms. 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. 1 - The Nature and Extent of Sacred Doctrine (Ten Articles) Treatise on The One God (QQ [2-26]) Treatise on The One God (QQ [2-26]) Question. It seems that the body of Christ, as it is in this sacrament, can be seen by the eye, at least by a glorified one. He proves this from the fact that "man and the sun generate man from matter." 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." Objection 2. Now the proper operation of man as man is to understand; because he thereby surpasses all other animals. 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." So therefore quantitative totality cannot be attributed to the soul, either essentially or accidentally. Further, all the powers of the soul are rooted in the essence of the soul. 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. Likewise it is evident that it is not in this sacrament circumscriptively, because it is not there according to the commensuration of its own quantity, as stated above. Reply to Objection 3. Aa Aa. But, according to the commandment (Exodus 12:10), concerning the Paschal Lamb, a figure of this sacrament, "there remained nothing until the morning." Christ's body is not in this sacrament definitively, because then it would be only on the particular altar where this sacrament is performed: whereas it is in heaven under its own species, and on many other altars under the sacramental species. And therefore in this sacrament the body indeed of Christ is present by the power of the sacrament, but His soul from real concomitance. and F. Leo Moore, O.P., S.T.L.Imprimatur. 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. 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. Now it is evident that He is not there under the sacramental species, which is that of bread or wine. But in this sacrament the entire substance of Christ's body is present, as stated above (Article 1,Article 3). 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. Thus the soul is not in a part. Further, when the cause is removed, the effect is also removed. Animal. By the power of the sacrament the dimensive quantity of Christ's body is not in this sacrament; for, by the power of the sacrament that is present in this sacrament, whereat the conversion is terminated. 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. Therefore in man and in every animal there must be another substantial form, by which the body is constituted. Reply to Objection 3. Further, the truth ought to correspond with the figure. We observe in matter various degrees of perfection, as existence, living, sensing, and understanding. Thus the intellectual soul contains virtually whatever belongs to the sensitive soul of brute animals, and to the nutritive souls of plants. 1 First Part. But the species of anything is derived from its form. An icon used to represent a menu that can be toggled by interacting with this icon. Everything has unity in the same way that it has being; consequently we must judge of the multiplicity of a thing as we judge of its being. By the power of the sacrament, there is under the species of this sacrament that into which the pre-existing substance of the bread and wine is changed, as expressed by the words of the form, which are effective in this as in the other sacraments; for instance, by the words: "This is My body," or, "This is My blood." Objection 2. 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. Therefore it is impossible for there to be in man another substantial form besides the intellectual soul. vii). Now everything that moves itself is divided into two parts, of which one moves, and the other is moved, as the Philosopher proves (Phys. 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. The Commentator held that this union is through the intelligible species, as having a double subject, in the possible intellect, and in the phantasms which are in the corporeal organs. But when such apparitions occur, it is evident that Christ is not present under His own species, because the entire Christ is contained in this sacrament, and He remains entire under the form in which He ascended to heaven: yet what appears miraculously in this sacrament is sometimes seen as a small particle of flesh, or at times as a small child. Reply to Objection 1. Whence it follows that elements in the mixed body would be distinct as to situation. The determinate distance of parts in an organic body is based upon its dimensive quantity; but the nature of substance precedes even dimensive quantity. The principal work of St. Thomas Aquinas, the Summa Theologica is divided into three parts and is designed to instruct both beginners and experts in all matters of Christian Truth. In the first place, an animal would not be absolutely one, in which there were several souls. . 3 - OF THE SIMPLICITY OF GOD (EIGHT ARTICLES) Question. It would seem that in man there is another form besides the intellectual soul. But the materiality of the knower, and of the species whereby it knows, impedes the knowledge of the universal. F. Beda Jarrett, O.P., S.T.L., A.M., Prior Provincialis AngliMARI IMMACULAT - SEDI SAPIENTI. But this link or union does not sufficiently explain the fact, that the act of the intellect is the act of Socrates. Now all the other senses are based on the sense of touch. Therefore as matter is apprehended as perfected in its existence, before it is understood as corporeal, and so on; so those accidents which belong to existence are understood to exist before corporeity; and thus dispositions are understood in matter before the form, not as regards all its effects, but as regards the subsequent effect. 77: Fraud in Buying and Selling: Q. I answer that, As we have said, if the soul were united to the body merely as its motor, we might say that it is not in each part of the body, but only in one part through which it would move the others. But it is clear that the action of the visual power is not attributed to a wall in virtue of the fact that the colors whose likenesses are in the visual power exist in that wall. Therefore the breath, which is a subtle body, is the means of union between soul and body. But when breathing ceases, the soul is separated from the body. It is true that it moves the grosser parts of the body by the more subtle parts.

But "rational," which is the difference constituting man, is taken from the intellectual soul; while he is called "animal" by reason of his having a body animated by a sensitive soul. Nor is there any other cause of union except the agent, which causes matter to be in act, as the Philosopher says, Metaph. viii (Did. It would seem that the intellectual principle is not multiplied according to the number of bodies, but that there is one intellect in all men. Therefore there is one intellect of all men. Objection 2. Reply to Objection 6. The artisan, for instance, for the form of the saw chooses iron adapted for cutting through hard material; but that the teeth of the saw may become blunt and rusted, follows by force of the matter itself. The soul communicates that existence in which it subsists to the corporeal matter, out of which and the intellectual soul there results unity of existence; so that the existence of the whole composite is also the existence of the soul. Reply to Objection 1. Objection 3. On the other hand, His soul was truly separated from His body, as stated above (III:50:5). Edus. Now man is corruptible like other animals. And this is apparent from the form of this sacrament, wherein it is not said: "This is My flesh," but "This is My body." Therefore, if besides the intellectual soul there pre-existed in matter another substantial form by which the subject of the soul were made an actual being, it would follow that the soul does not give being simply; and consequently that it is not the substantial form: and so at the advent of the soul there would not be simple generation; nor at its removal simple corruption, all of which is clearly false. Further, the intellectual soul is a perfectly immaterial form; a proof whereof is its operation in which corporeal matter does not share. Objection 3. For since the form is an act, and matter is only in potentiality, that which is composed of matter and form cannot be the form of another by virtue of itself as a whole. No angel, good or bad, can see anything with a bodily eye, but only with the mental eye. The reason of this is that a thing is one, according as it is a being. Now matter subject to dimension is not to be found except in a body. Objection 1. But whatever fills a place is there locally. Therefore in man the intellectual soul is not essentially the same as the sensitive soul, but presupposes it as a material subject. Therefore, as a surface which is of a pentagonal shape, is not tetragonal by one shape, and pentagonal by anothersince a tetragonal shape would be superfluous as contained in the pentagonalso neither is Socrates a man by one soul, and animal by another; but by one and the same soul he is both animal and man. 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. 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. 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. Reply to Objection 3. Contents. I answer that, As stated above (Article 1, Reply to Objection 3; Article 3), Christ's body is in this sacrament not after the proper manner of dimensive quantity, but rather after the manner of substance. vii, 6). Seemingly, therefore, the intellect of the disciple and master is but one; and, consequently, the same applies to all men. That it is entire in each part thereof, may be concluded from this, that since a whole is that which is divided into parts, there are three kinds of totality, corresponding to three kinds of division. And so the substance of Christ's body or blood is under this sacrament by the power of the sacrament, but not the dimensions of Christ's body or blood. Reply to Objection 2. The soul does not move the body by its essence, as the form of the body, but by the motive power, the act of which presupposes the body to be already actualized by the soul: so that the soul by its motive power is the part which moves; and the animate body is the part moved. And this seems to happen when to one person it is seen under the species of flesh or of a child, while to others it is seen as before under the species of bread; or when to the same individual it appears for an hour under the appearance of flesh or a child, and afterwards under the appearance of bread. But that which appears under the likeness of flesh in this sacrament, continues for a long time; indeed, one reads of its being sometimes enclosed, and, by order of many bishops, preserved in a pyx, which it would be wicked to think of Christ under His proper semblance. Entdecke Aquinas' Summa Theologica (SCM kurz) - Taschenbuch NEU Daniel, David M 28. 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. As it is in this sacrament, can Christ's body be seen by the eye? Objection 5. Further, the Philosopher says, Metaph. To this end, Aquinas cites proofs for the existence of God and outlines the activities and nature of God. Thus are all other consecrations irremovable so long as the consecrated things endure; on which account they are not repeated. But from natural concomitance there is also in this sacrament that which is really united with that thing wherein the aforesaid conversion is terminated. Consequently, it seems that Christ's body is not there in any way. But since "Christ rising from the dead dieth now no more" (Romans 6:9), His soul is always really united with His body. Therefore if there were not in man some other substantial form besides the rational soul, and if this were to inhere immediately to primary matter; it would follow that it ranks among the most imperfect forms which inhere to matter immediately. Part 1, Question 76 557 power. This is contrary to the teaching of the Philosopher, who holds that understanding is not possible through a corporeal instrument (De Anima iii, 4). But the intellectual principle, since it is incorruptible, as was shown above (I:75:6), remains separate from the body, after the dissolution of the body. 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 discusses topics central to Christian morality, ethics, law, and the life of Christ, providing philosophical and theological solutions to common arguments and questions surrounding the Christian faith. Further, since Christ's is an organic body, it has parts determinately distant. For the soul is the primary principle of our nourishment, sensation, and local movement; and likewise of our understanding. Therefore the forms of the elements must remain in a mixed body; and these are substantial forms. But Christ's body as it is in this sacrament cannot be seen by any bodily eye. But there are many other parts of Christ's body, for instance, the nerves, bones, and such like. x (Did. Now it is clear that common nature becomes distinct and multiplied by reason of the individuating principles which come from the matter. And not even the angelic intellect of its own natural power is capable of beholding it; consequently the devils cannot by their intellect perceive Christ in this sacrament, except through faith, to which they do not pay willing assent; yet they are convinced of it from the evidence of signs, according to James 2:19: "The devils believe, and tremble.". But the substantial form gives substantial being. 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. It would seem that the intellectual soul is improperly united to such a body. Objection 4. And therefore in this sacrament the blood is consecrated apart from the body, but no other part is consecrated separately from the rest. For since the way in which Christ is in this sacrament is entirely supernatural, it is visible in itself to a supernatural, i.e. Now an action may be attributed to anyone in three ways, as is clear from the Philosopher (Phys. and F. Leo Moore, O.P., S.T.L.Imprimatur. Further, the order of forms depends on their relation to primary matter; for "before" and "after" apply by comparison to some beginning. Further, man moves himself as every animal does. But various parts of matter are unintelligible without division in measurable quantities. But it belongs to the nature of this quantity that the various parts exist in various parts of place. As stated above (Article 4), the accidents of Christ's body are in this sacrament by real concomitance. Reply to Objection 4. v). 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. Reply to Objection 5. Therefore it is impossible that one individual intellectual soul should belong to several individuals. 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. For Augustine says (Gen. ad lit. For this reason among animals, man has the best sense of touch. ix, 10). 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. It is well to remark that if anyone holds that the soul is composed of matter and form, it would follow that in no way could the soul be the form of the body.
