REVELATION. - In the sense of a separate, in which we understand it in this place, this word means any act of the supernatural, where God, either directly by itself or by some divine power. authorized agent, shall men swa, science, and his will. Thus, any revelation of God granted to humanity, you think that humanity is in its being a natural, gifted with the natural ability to learn - through reason and creation - the God and some of its excellence and commandments. - Catholic theology distinguishes between two kinds of divine revelations: 1-a revelation returned to the whole human race and the entire human race in force, namely the revelation of the public, or simply Revelation, 2-a revelation returned to only one or a certain number of souls, but being a necessary object of faith of the universal, they are private revelations. Of these two kinds of revelations say in the following two chapters.
§ I. public revelation. - I. To the first point we have the authentic teachings of Vatican (Sess. III, cap. 2), and it is only here to listen and to defend you, lo "I loved the wisdom and goodness of God revealed himself to us to expose We eternal sentences the way of his will, supernatural, provided by the words of the Apostle "(Heb. I, l - 2):" Variously were many ways to God mówiwszy long oycom by prophets, naostatek these days spoken to us by a Son ... "God
So the revelation of splits logically into two periods: that is the Jewish Old Testament, and the period of the Gospel or New Testament. 2-for "Thanks to God's revelation of all people, even in the current state of their kind, I can, quickly, with perfect, and certainly without any error to know the things of God, which are not by themselves unavailable human reason, "This same reason, but which, if left to its own forces, barely meets with difficulty, with uncertainties and errors of any kind. "In any event, the revelation is not necessary for this, in that respect it is necessary only morally. - 3-for "Absolutely, but it is necessary" for the fact that God in his infinite goodness of man to set aside the supernatural, that is, God's sharing of goods, completely exceeding the human mind: as, "What no eye has seen, y nor ear heard, y neither have entered the heart of man, what God has prepared for those who love Him "(I Cor. II, 9). - Supernatural is a revelation of things in the innate and partly supernatural, is in the holy books and traditions, drawn from the oral teaching of Christ the Lord, or the inspiration of the Holy Spirit., And sent down to us by the apostles and their successors. "5-o As a result, "ktokolwiekby said that it is impossible or inappropriate to a man by the divine revelation had instructed Father God and worship Him owed, let him be accursed." - "Ktokolwiekby said that man can not be God's way of lifting him to know and to perfection, in excess of the natural and the perfection of his knowledge, but that by itself it can and should occur by the continuous progress and finally to the possession of all good and all truth, let him be accursed "
II. Against this doctrine, the overall evidence is served in many articles of this dictionary (now God Secrets. Scripture., Gospel, Prophecy, church, etc.) allege as follows: - lo any supernatural revelation is impossible, not only for that silent no secrets, but also because God can not otherwise connect with a man, but by creating and by reason. - 2-a man can not comprehend God's truth, and if it realizes that they are no longer supernatural, but human. - 3-for The Well is a useful revelation? Is it to enlarge the burden of the already severe inborn our responsibilities toward God, and to further strengthen the already narrow scope of our freedom? - 4-for to distinguish between the divine revelations from hallucynacyi and delusions, it would be necessary to give some kryteryum, which we do not have yet. - 5-a That is there are many different and even contradictory appearances: as the revelation of Egypt, Assyria, Jewish, Indian, Christian, not counting the explanation is quite contrary to the revelations give a thousand sects and all sorts of teachers . This confusion is the philosopher and the decisive reason for rejecting all of them together. - 6-0 Jewish and Christian revelation, that of the other silent, is at least problematic, not to say wrong, and if it is to stato, where provided to be that it is preserved in the whole, lest today worthy of belief?
III. response to these difficulties, we also complement our previous explanation of the doctrine of revelation.
lo We know that miracles do exist, (now Article. Cuda), and even if they did not exist, then God would always have the opportunity to provide us their knowledge, their understanding of the creatures, which he did, and which we understand so little, and not without great effort and numerous errors. To do this you need God? Here's to forge a relationship with our mind, whether it directly-that is, without the idea of \u200b\u200bmediating, or indirectly, by the thoughts that give us a ready-made, or what we perceiving by means of sensory phenomena, of which they themselves already we conclude, as we do constantly in the natural order of things. Azalea God is not the highest element of reason and truth infinite? Having created the same substancyę our reason, it really could not enhance free news wlanemi into it? Could it be, having created the physical selves, could not some of them give such a specific purpose, or allow them to create a symbolic effect, the któregoby result for us, some divine science? What mean these deklamacye against the root of the supernatural and against miracles? Miracles and the supernatural element exists, a tera same token, and revelation, different from that of language, with which God speaks to naszeo understanding through the creation, it is perfectly feasible.
2-for No, man can not understand it can not know precisely (Adequate) divine truths, but I know it can partially, imperfectly, but true and sure. And it must be admitted. - Not only supernatural truths, but all without exception in its entirety do not know. So if this complaint led anything, it is argued-by zadużo. - One man revealed and understood its divine truths are truths in the sense of men, but as to its subject matter and as to its non-availability for the chosen faith of the human mind, they remain forever nadprzyrodzonemi and boskiemi.
3-o If revelation increases our duties towards God, it also increases the relative benefits and a huge Christmas for us. If mental limits our freedom, it is probably ignorance and error free. If it ties our reason, then picks it up to the lofty realm of divine knowledge itself. And if you can complain about that?
4-for sure, that we need to distinguish kryteryum a revelation of what is not tion. The church, as God himself wants us to believe kryteryum used to before we start: rationabile obsequium vestrum. In fact, it's easy to find kryteryum, easily in the need to apply. We could call it common sense, simple reason. After all, this is common sense tells us that year God to Moses on Mount Sinai is confident, sure of is the fact of the existence and divinity of Jesus Christ, the redeemer and teacher of the world; sure the temperature is, the existence and divinity of the Church, etc. And the same is also common sense tells us: lying is the mission of Muhammad, his lying is ridiculous, immoral, any clear notions of what our mind has a natural way of God and His rights, is against his doctrine, etc.
5-of Reason, philosophy, seeing the variety and contradictory evidence, administering a variety of religions to be revealed at a flat rate should not conclude that all these proofs are wrong, but should examine their content and titles to which they refer. Jeśli te widocznie się sprzeciwiają wyraźnym danym historyi i zdrowego rozumu, to trzeba je natychmiast odrzucić; i to będzie los wszystkich objawień z wyjątkiem objawienia żydowsko-chrześcijańskiego. Jeśli zaś nie sprzeciwiają się one tym danym, i jeśli przemawiają za niemi dostateczne dowody zewnętrzne, objawienia te należy uznać za prawdziwe; i to się włas'nie ziszcza na objawieniu biblijnem, ewangelicznem, słowem - chrześcijaóskiem, Z pośród różnych tłómaczeń tych dowodów objawienia znajduje się jedno tylko prawdziwe, jedno z myślą bożą zgodne: i tu roznin, albo jeśli kto will - a philosophy mitzvah is not any difficulty in identifying the true character of the Church, and a statement as a Catholic (now ar t. Church, the Papacy). Among those required by external evidence on the first place stand the prophecies and miracles (now the Article.), And for all right and quite a serious mind is the possibility of their existence, the possibility of their finding and distinguishing it from hallucynacyi or deception, it ktoreby or less world recovered more faithfully.
6-0 existence of the Christian revelation, in which the former contains a revelation, made from Adam to Mojjżesza, has had historical evidence, birthright and the supernatural, to adopt entirely possible. Returned against them in recent times, attacks are so bezsilnemi same as the old enemies chrystyanizmu assault. If these attacks rocked rzeczonemi evidence that temperature zburzyłyby same token, any historical certainty, all the evidence and confidence to najniezaprzeczeńszych titles, it would break everything in human knowledge is based on the certificate and the experience of others, it is - most prominent, if not najporęczniejszej, and from the position social most necessary part of all of our messages. Chrystyanizm therefore, as a historical fact, is completely invariant: and from among the wide variety of sects, which it has in the past and today, unfortunately divided, only the Catholic Church itself historically and legally is the inheritor of the divine teachings and divine promises. (Now the articles cited above).
§ II. private revelation. - I. Catholic Church considers them to be possible, since it does not remove them, a priori, when it comes to subject them to his court. 2-for for real in some occasions, as any, praised, and many even or approve it by a decision-dozwalające or glorifying either by kanonizacyę holy personages which these revelations were made, or the approval or establishment of liturgical feasts, based on these revelations, 3-o be relatively rare, because it is always carefully examine, if not with positive disbelief, then at least with extraordinary wariness; 4-for as necessarily subordinate to the public revelation, and even justify giving up the position of theology, which has always relied on sometimes planting them in the light of the Catholic faith; 5 -o for foreign treasure revelation of the general and universally applicable, because the Church has never considered as heretics those who refuse to believe them, although they may be in a temperature and rash people sometimes bold.
II. seems that it has no need to think further on this subject, explore its details and discuss the reasons on which it is based study summarized above. Let us move to the allegations, which it usually causes: - lo Revelation individual are impossible. - 2-for They are useless. - 3-o impossible to diagnose. - 4-a Without resorting to sophisms and excuses can not be planted podług general revelation. - 5-a The latter would be subordinated to them, rather, how it was planted by Protestants. - 6-0 But if they are true, then why not apply to the whole Church?
III. is not true to lo various revelations were impossible. Why, Lord, giving the general revelation, all men of force, not otrącił neither possible nor the freedom to add him - as far as your heart desires - some revelations about a lesser extent, and sometimes purely personal revelations. As for the inability of those revelations because of alleged impossibility of miracles, So we have previously resolved by the Easter collection.
2-for agree that private revelations are useless in the temperature sense to say that the public revelation that is not common in no wise enriched. But these private revelations can be very useful to souls, which God gives them, these souls, for the attention which they come, and which sometimes can be very numerous, and it can be useful to develop faith and piety in the Church, for a clearer understanding of the truths and evidence of general revelation, to the souls of good driving and even whole Church. A well-known example of this usefulness of such revelations are revelations concerning devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
3-for Certainly, any private revelation must be tested podług harsh and strict rules, allowed the któreby reject this revelation, if it turned out wrong, either to accept it if it was a reality, or, finally, leave it doubtful if It was neither wrong nor certainly certainly true. These rules are of two kinds, critical and theological: a critical fix, objectivity fact, theological and demonstrate compliance or inconsistency of thought revealed the obvious truth of some natural and supernatural truth, infallible revelation contained in the general. Numerous practical applications of these general principles provide the work of theologians and church lawyers.
4-for do not know for czegoby was evasion and revelation soflzmatem judge detailed podług general revelation, since the Church is the last revelation had already been sanctioned, infallibly presented to the beliefs and genuinely explained, and Catholic theologians are yet experienced enough that the truth kryteryum not take the same subject, which are assessed.
5-of Many Protestant writers, leaving every one free trial of the divinity and meaning of Scripture., The viewer is forced to adopt specific revelations of reality, every one made for this purpose. But their point of departure is purely fictional, the system is against the clear teachings of Christ and the apostolic tłómaczeniu tradycyi of Scripture,; experience finally taught. that issued by different entities orchards about inspiration and meaning of biblical texts are both opposed to the truth, as incompatible with each other, - unless you suppose an innumerable contradictions in the same spirit, the revelation of the provider. Thus, general revelation does not depend on the specific revelations.
6-0 If these details are truly divine revelation, it is valid to believe in them those whom God wanted to commit, and the only exclusively. And these are the people to whom God gave this revelation, and those for which the historical and theological truth of these revelations is uncertain. The amount of these people will be more or less united, provided by the intentions and actions of divine Providence, but the amount has never cover the whole of humanity, and that is mainly because that God has entrusted to these revelations are not specific to the authorities and the general tłómaczom revelation: while it certainly would have done, if he wanted to make these details as revelations were widely proclaimed and to believe everything reported.
