Dr. John Nieto is a Professor at Thomas Aquinas College in Santa Paula, CA.0:01 Intro4:19 Various virtues related to truth. We are speaking about honesty in particular. Are all lies sins, even if the good to be brought out of one seems larger than the evil of the sin?13:31 Three aspects of our speech being true36:31 Every lie is a sin. Distinction between venial & mortal sin. 44:36 How Christ Himself is the Truth47:44 Q&A with Laura Berquist and Chris Sebastian“Christ Himself is the Word, Christ is eternally the Word of the Father. The Second Person of the Trinity is the Word proceeding from the Father, and in that sense He is like the truth of our mind within God. He comes forth in God…as expressing the truth of God. And then in the Incarnation He becomes sensible, a sensible expression of that Person, just as our words are sensible expressions of our thoughts.” -Dr. Nieto (44:36)________________________________MODG exists to help Catholic families raise their children in a living Catholic culture in their homes, mentoring them in using the MODG Catholic classical curriculum to lead their children to good judgment concerning the good, true and beautiful.Visit our Virtual Open House and learn how we can help you build a Catholic culture in your home, too!https://modg.org/virtualopenhouse
