Seeking the truth as a remedy for ignorance
Spirituality
St. Basil, De Spiritu Sancto: âThere is no lack in these days of captious listeners and questioners; but to find a character desirous of information, and seeking the truth as a remedy for ignorance, is very difficult. Just as in the hunterâs snare, or in the soldierâs ambush, the trick is generally ingeniously concealed, so it is with the inquiries of the majority of the questioners who advance arguments, not so much with the view of getting any good out of them, as in order that, in the event of their failing to elicit answers which chime in with their own desires, they may seem to have fair ground for controversy.â
Doctrine
St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae, I-II, Q. 88, A. 5, Reply 1: âWith regard to drunkenness we reply that it is a mortal sin by reason of its genus; for, that a man, without necessity, and through the mere lust of wine, makes himself unable to use his reason, whereby he is directed to God and avoids committing many sins, is expressly contrary to virtue.â
