1-119) Question 1. Reply to Objection 6. It seems, therefore, that the same individual knowledge which is in the master is communicated to the disciple; which cannot be, unless there is one intellect in both. Whence it does not follow that a part of an animal is an animal. Objection 5. If we mean quantitative totality which whiteness has accidentally, then the whole whiteness is not in each part of the surface. Hence we read in the profession of faith at Ephesus (P. I., chap. Objection 3. The soul is the act of an organic body, as of its primary and proportionate perfectible. Reply to Objection 2. Therefore the intellectual principle is not united to the body as its form. But the proper totality of substance is contained indifferently in a small or large quantity; as the whole nature of air in a great or small amount of air, and the whole nature of a man in a big or small individual. The human soul, by reason of its perfection, is not a form merged in matter, or entirely embraced by matter. For this reason, the old natural philosophers, who held that primary matter was some actual beingfor instance, fire or air, or something of that sortmaintained that nothing is generated simply, or corrupted simply; and stated that "every becoming is nothing but an alteration," as we read, Phys. viii (Did. Objection 2. The soul is indeed very distant from the body, if we consider the condition of each separately: so that if each had a separate existence, many means of connection would have to intervene. Hence it is clear that Christ, strictly speaking is immovably in this sacrament. And therefore in this sacrament the body indeed of Christ is present by the power of the sacrament, but His soul from real concomitance. But the intellectual soul is one form. Therefore the entire dimensive quantity of Christ's body is in this sacrament. But the human soul is an immaterial substance; since it is not composed of matter and form as was shown above (I:75:5). 75 - Of Man Who is Composed of a Spiritual and a Corporeal Substance: And in the First Place, Concerning What Belongs to the Essence of the Soul (Seven Articles) . Nor is there any deception there, as occurs in the feats of magicians, because such species is divinely formed in the eye in order to represent some truth, namely, for the purpose of showing that Christ's body is truly under this sacrament; just as Christ without deception appeared to the disciples who were going to Emmaus. Since, then, the substance of Christ's body is present on the altar by the power of this sacrament, while its dimensive quantity is there concomitantly and as it were accidentally, therefore the dimensive quantity of Christ's body is in this sacrament, not according to its proper manner (namely, that the whole is in the whole, and the individual parts in individual parts), but after the manner of substance, whose nature is for the whole to be in the whole, and the whole in every part. For if any two things be really united, then wherever the one is really, there must the other also be: since things really united together are only distinguished by an operation of the mind. But the glorified eye sees Christ always, as He is in His own species, according to Isaiah 33:17: "(His eyes) shall see the king in his beauty." Further, the human body is a mixed body. Therefore of one thing there is but one substantial form. It seems that Christ's body is movably in this sacrament, because the Philosopher says (Topic. Further, things which are very distant from one another, are not united except by something between them. But the shape is united to the wax without a body intervening. Further, when the cause is removed, the effect is also removed. Therefore if the intellect and Socrates are united in the above manner, the action of the intellect cannot be attributed to Socrates. Further, the Philosopher says (De Anima. Reply to Objection 2. For in the first place this serves to represent Christ's Passion, in which the blood was separated from the body; hence in the form for the consecration of the blood mention is made of its shedding. Objection 4. iv). But the dimensive quantity of Christ's body is considerably larger than the dimensive quantity of the consecrated host according to every dimension. Accordingly, when our Lord said (John 6:56): "My flesh is meat indeed," there the word flesh is put for the entire body, because according to human custom it seems to be more adapted for eating, as men commonly are fed on the flesh of animals, but not on the bones or the like. Objection 2. Now what is added is always more perfect. Therefore the body or the blood of Christ is not under those species. But the phantasm itself is not a form of the possible intellect; it is the intelligible species abstracted from the phantasm that is a form. Secondly, this is proved to be impossible by the manner in which one thing is predicated of another. Reply to Objection 1. Reply to Objection 4. Thus one part would not depend on another; nor would one part be nobler than another; which is clearly untrue. But it is not the same with any other glorified eye, because Christ's eye is under this sacrament, in which no other glorified eye is conformed to it. 1.1 Introduction. The dimensive quantity of Christ's body is in this sacrament not by way of commensuration, which is proper to quantity, and to which it belongs for the greater to be extended beyond the lesser; but in the way mentioned above (ad 1,2). If, however, the intellectual soul be united to the body as its substantial form, as we have said above (Article 1), it is impossible for another substantial form besides the intellectual soul to be found in man. and F. Leo Moore, O.P., S.T.L.Imprimatur. Consequently, it remains to be said, that, while the dimensions remain the same as before, there is a miraculous change wrought in the other accidents, such as shape, color, and the rest, so that flesh, or blood, or a child, is seen. Further, if two unequal dimensive quantities be set side by side, the greater will overlap the lesser. Reply to Objection 2. And the first instrument of the motive power is a kind of spirit, as the Philosopher says in De causa motus animalium (De mot. Further, it is impossible for two dimensive quantities to be together, even though one be separate from its subject, and the other in a natural body, as is clear from the Philosopher (Metaph. It would seem that the whole soul is not in each part of the body; for the Philosopher says in De causa motus animalium (De mot. Further, man moves himself as every animal does. One part of the body is said to be nobler than another, on account of the various powers, of which the parts of the body are the organs. For it is manifest that, supposing there is one principal agent, and two instruments, we can say that there is one agent absolutely, but several actions; as when one man touches several things with his two hands, there will be one who touches, but two contacts. Pagans say that the existence of a powerful God is an illusion and misleading. Therefore the forms of the elements must remain in a mixed body; and these are substantial forms. Further, if Christ's body were to remain under this sacrament even until the morrow, for the same reason it will remain there during all coming time; for it cannot be said that it ceases to be there when the species pass, because the existence of Christ's body is not dependent on those species. Therefore the intellectual soul may be compared to the body animated by a sensitive soul, as form to matter. Reply to Objection 2. And as a light body remains light, when removed from its proper place, retaining meanwhile an aptitude and an inclination for its proper place; so the human soul retains its proper existence when separated from the body, having an aptitude and a natural inclination to be united to the body. How it is caused will be shown later on (I:117:1). But in Christ, being in Himself and being under the sacrament are not the same thing, because when we say that He is under this sacrament, we express a kind of relationship to this sacrament. The Perfection of God 5. Reply to Objection 3. Therefore this principle by which we primarily understand, whether it be called the intellect or the intellectual soul, is the form of the body. Therefore it is not united to the body as its form. As stated above (Article 4), the accidents of Christ's body are in this sacrament by real concomitance. If, however, it be said that God could avoid this, we answer that in the formation of natural things we do not consider what God might do; but what is suitable to the nature of things, as Augustine says (Gen. ad lit. Objection 2. Reply to Objection 2. But the intellectual principle, since it is incorruptible, as was shown above (I:75:6), remains separate from the body, after the dissolution of the body. Man must therefore derive his species from that which is the principle of this operation. Reply to Objection 1. Wherefore matter, once understood as corporeal and measurable, can be understood as distinct in its various parts, and as receptive of different forms according to the further degrees of perfection. I answer that, As we have said, if the soul were united to the body merely as its motor, we might say that it is not in each part of the body, but only in one part through which it would move the others. Hence since it is seen in its proper species, and is adored in heaven, it is not seen under its proper species in this sacrament. Therefore Christ's body is in this sacrament as in a place. Therefore, from the fact that the species of phantasms are in the possible intellect, it does not follow that Socrates, in whom are the phantasms, understands, but that he or his phantasms are understood. The artisan, for instance, for the form of the saw chooses iron adapted for cutting through hard material; but that the teeth of the saw may become blunt and rusted, follows by force of the matter itself. Objection 1. Whence it is clear that when the soul is called the act, the soul itself is included; as when we say that heat is the act of what is hot, and light of what is lucid; not as though lucid and light were two separate things, but because a thing is made lucid by the light. Now the form, through itself, makes a thing to be actual since it is itself essentially an act; nor does it give existence by means of something else. Therefore there is one intellect of all men. Canonicus Surmont, Vicarius Generalis. But the intellectual soul is incorruptible; whereas the other souls, as the sensitive and the nutritive, are corruptible, as was shown above (I:75:6). Now this would not be the case if the various principles of the soul's operations were essentially different, and distributed in the various parts of the body.
