Aquinas, Wojtyla, Armenio
Luke 17:1-6
Scandal is a very serious sin.
Because we have a great need for prudence
I have proofread the dissertation of
Reverend Peter V. Armenio.
It is called “Aquinas on Prudence as
Perfective of the Person and Karol
Wojtyla’s Thomistic Personalism.”
It’s about prudence. It’s not a musical.
It’s true that every sin should be condemned.
Let’s do it privately and quietly.
All those who repent should be forgiven.
Grandpa said, “Life is too short for grudges.”
This teaching is so very demanding.
With faith in God, nothing is impossible.
