Summary

Join Dr Taylor Marshall this week as he explains why Thomas Aquinas thought animal and bird flesh caused a higher human sexual libido and how it relates to our customs for fasting and abstinence during Lent. Believe it or not, what Saint Thomas says in the 1200s about diet is actually confirmed by testosterone studies in our time. We also look Eastern Catholic Church Bible translations AND the demonic sexual apparitions of the sucubus (female version) and incubus (male version) attested to by Augustine and Aquinas. 129: Aquinas Why Fish and No Meat in Lent PLUS the Demonic Incubus and Sucubus!

0:00.0	Hey Dr. Taylor Marshall here and thanks for listening to the Taylor
0:02.9	Marshall show. I have a different kind of a show if you today. It's actually an
0:06.3	Ox Talk. An Ox Talk is a podcast that I do for the new St Thomas
0:10.5	Institute which has some heavy-hitting theology in it and today we look at St. Thomas Institute, which has some heavy-hitting theology in it. And today we look at
0:14.7	St Thomas Aquinas on the distinction between fish and meat during Lent. Why is
0:19.7	it that apparently, according to the rules of the Catholic Church you can have crab legs and lobster on a Friday
0:25.8	But you can't have a chicken nugget some spam or a hot dog. Why is that? Well we look at Thomas Aquinas on the purpose of fasting and abstinence as it relates to our sexual libidos and how it relates to modern science regarding testosterone in our diet. So an interesting show today we also

1:15.2	demon, by which the demon tries to get a human to sin and having sex with that apparition. Sounds kind of crazy I know but St. Augustine
1:25.5	talks about it, St Thomas Aquinas talks about it, even modern actresses talk
1:30.7	about this demonic apparition, a sexual apparition of a male to a female or a female to a male.
1:38.0	And we'll look at that in this Ox Talk.
1:40.0	So if you like this, join up at the new new St Thomas Institute. That's where we offer
1:44.8	certificates in Catholic Church history, Church Fathers, medieval studies,
1:49.0	biblical studies, apologetics, Catholic philosophy, theology, soon Old Testament, all kinds of resources,
