CCD DISCUSSION IS TAKEN FROM
"THE SUMMA" OF ST. THOMAS AQUINAS
HAPEVILLE, Ga. — The Con
fraternity of Christian Doctrine
of St. John’s met at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Walton, 201
Colorado Avenue. Father Joseph
Drohan presided and one of the
topics for “open” discussion was:
Whether the flesh of Christ was
derived from Adam? taken from
“The Summa” of St. Thomas
Aquinas, used in the discussion
club. Len Galati led the discus
sion.
“In the beginning was the
Word, and the Word was with
God; and the Word was God .
In Him was life, and the life was
the light of men. And the light
shines in the darkness; and the
darkness grasped it not.” (John
l:-5). From all eternity God knew
that mankind would forfeit its
right to paradise, and that the
Word, or Second person of the
Holy Trinity, would become' in-

carnate and restore the right so
that man might glorify God and
enjoy eternal happiness with Him
in paradise.
It was to this end that man was
created; and in order that his end
might be realized, God, in His
divine providence, prepared for
the coming of His own Son. In the
prophesies of the Old Testament
prophecies which fortell Christ’s
birth, character, and mission, we
can follow this preparation step
by step. These prophecies are not
mj^sterious oracular statements
which might be interpreted in
many ways; they are clear, de
finite, growing more specific and
detailed as the time of their ful
fillment approaches. But none
can equal in grandeur the proto-
evangelium, or “first glad tidings”
for it is the story of humanity
in the words of God Himself: “Be
cause thou hast done this thing
. . . (God is speaking to the ser
pent) I will put emnities between
thee and the woman, and thy
seed and her seed; she shall crush
thy head,' and thou shalt lie in
wait for her heel.” (Gen. 3:14-15)
The prophecies may be divided
into three periods, from the fall
of Adam to Moses, from Samuel
to Solomon and from Isaias to the
point at which the annunciation
replaces the prophecy.
The knowledge that fallen man
was to be redeemed became com
mon to all men, and another pro
phecy was not forthcoming until
after the flood. God then revealed
through Noah that the Messias or
Saviour, would be of the family
of Sem. As the children of Sem
and his brothers peopled the
earth, the prophecy was still very
general. In good time God was to
designate another family, in the
narrower sense of the term, as
that of the Messias-the family of
Abraham. Abraham, meaning
“father of the mutitude,” migrated
from Chaldea to Palestine, and
God promised him that in his seed
all the nations of the earth were
to be blessed. This promise was
reiterated to Isaac and Jacob, and
finally Jacob prophecied that the
Saviour was to be born of the
tribe of Juda, and He was to be
King, Moses closed the first period
of prophecy-one in which the
lineage of Christ has already been
made clear.
The Apostle says (Heb. ii. 16);
Nowhere doth He—that is, the Sbn
of God—take hold of the Angels;
but of the seed of Abraham He
taketh hold. But the seed of Ab
raham was derived from Adam.
Therefore Christ’s body was form
ed of matter derived from Adam.
Christ assumed human nature :n
order to cleanse it of corruption.
But human nature did not need
to be cleansed save in as far as
it was soiled in its tainted origin
whereby it was descended from
Adam. Therefore it was becoming
that He should assume flesh of
matter derived from Adam, that
the nature itself might be healed
by the assumption.
