Curiosity a Vice? – Episode 79

 

A lot of firsts this week, something we like to do, one being Tequila!

Adam talks about going on his first hunting trip and we briefly get to our man gear – the straight edge.

Our topic is curiosity, based on how St. Thomas refers to it (summa link).

CURIOSITY IS A VICE WHEN:

  1. OUR DESIRE FOR KNOWLEDGE IS PRIDEFUL; FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF KNOWING MORE THAN THOSE AROUND US.
  2. OUR DESIRE FOR KNOWLEDGE DRAWS US AWAY FROM A MORE PROFITABLE STUDY.
  3. OUR DESIRE FOR KNOWLEDGE IS NOT ULTIMATELY DIRECTED TO ITS DUE END, THAT IS, KNOWING WHO GOD IS AND HOW HE IS WORKING IN OUR LIVES.
  4. OUR DESIRE FOR KNOWLEDGE IS SEEKS TO UNDERSTAND THINGS BEYOND THE CONFINES OF OUR INTELLECT, THOSE THINGS WHICH BELONG PROPERLY TO REVELATION.
