Jesus Solves the Problem of Evil in ONE Miracle

from Militant Thomist Hosted by Christian B. Wagner

In this video, we explore one of the most profound and enduring questions in philosophy and theology: the problem of evil. How can evil exist in a world governed by an all-powerful, supremely good God? Drawing from the rich tradition of Christian thought, we delve into the insights of St. Augustine, along with perspectives from Sacred Scripture, to provide a deep understanding of this complex issue. We discuss the importance of approaching the problem of evil through the lenses of Divine Revelation and pastoral care, emphasizing the teachings of the Church Fathers and Medievals. We also examine why Divine Revelation is crucial for a thorough understanding of this question and how a pastoral approach can offer meaningful responses to those grappling with the presence of evil in their lives. Join us as we navigate these deep waters, seeking wisdom and enlightenment on a question that touches the heart of human existence. 0:00 - Introduction 1:09 - Two Problems in Most Solutions 5:29 - Introduction to John 11 8:19 - Theological Solution (v. 1-16) 11:40 - Pastoral Solution (v. 17-44) NEW AQUINAS ACADEMY Link: https://www.christianbwagner.com/newaquinasacademy Discord: https://aquinas.cc/la/en/~DePrinNat.C1 Donate: https://www.patreon.com/newaquinasacademy FURTHER RESOURCES To get Tutoring: https://www.christianbwagner.com/book-online Annotated Thomist: https://www.christianbwagner.com/annotated-thomist Scholastic Courses: https://www.christianbwagner.com/courses SPONSOR MUSIC https://youtu.be/ePYe3lqsu-g https://youtu.be/Hi5YgbiNB1U SUPPORT Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ5DQ8zCOmeAqOcKTbSb7fg Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/MilitantThomist Donate: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?business=9XM8FACTLFDW2&no_recurring=0&item_name=Support+my+Apostolate&currency_code=USD FOLLOW Website: https://www.christianbwagner.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MilitantThomist Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/543689120339579 Twitter: https://twitter.com/MilitantThomist Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/militantthomist/ WATCH https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ5DQ8zCOmeAqOcKTbSb7fg LISTEN Podcast: https://www.christianbwagner.com/podcast Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0exZN1vHDyLuRjnUI3sHXt?si=XHs8risyS1ebLCkWwKLblQ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/militant-thomist/id1603094572 Anchor: https://anchor.fm/militantthomist SHOP Book Store: https://www.christianbwagner.com/shop Merch: https://www.christianbwagner.com/merch

Catholics and all Christians are welcome to the podcast I will do my best to cover all Christian denominations fairly and accurately. Counter-Reformation by Adolphus Ward Loyal Books The Counter-Reformation, also called the Catholic Reformation, and remembered for its infamous Inquisition, was the period of Catholic resurgence which was initiated in response to the Protestant Reformation. Adolphus Ward writes, that it was "a movement pursuing two objects...the regeneration of the Church of Rome, and the recovery of the losses inflicted upon her by the early successes of Protestantism...The onset of the combat is marked by the formal establishment of the Jesuit Order as a militant agency devoted alike to both of the purposes of the Counter-Reformation, and the meeting of the Council of Trent [1545-1563] under conditions excluding from its programme the task of conciliation." It largely ended in 1648, when the Peace of Westphalia brought an end to the Thirty Years' War.
