Greetings to all,
I have been looking for a quote from St. Thomas Aquinas concerning the reality of Evil. It essentially addresses the Eutyphro Dilemma:
“Is what is morally good commanded by God because it is morally good, or is it morally good because it is commanded by God?”
St. Thomas’ answer was essentially that: something is Evil because God forbids it, but God forbids it because it is Evil.
I would like to know if someone can help me find the exact quote.
