[1229] Isa. 11:2.
[1230] Because the normal method of knowing separated souls is by
infused species, which is the same for comprehensors, and Christ
already in this life was both wayfarer and comprehensor
[1231] He knew particulars, even the least of those that are recorded
in the Old Testament, for example, in Deuteronomy or the books of
Paralipomenon. If He had been questioned about them, He would not
have shown Himself ignorant of anything, especially of even the least
things that pertain to Sacred Scripture.
[1232] cf. Summa theol., q. 7, a. 12, ad 2.
[1233] Ibid., Ia, q. 89, a. 1, 2.
[1234] Ibid., Ia, q. 55, 56. These infused species are not
abstract but concrete universals, for they represent even singulars
that are contained under the universal; consequently each one is a
quasi-intelligible but not sensible panorama. And the gifts of the
Holy Ghost in Christ made use not only of acquired species, but also
of infused species.
[1235] Discrete time differs from continuous time, for instance,
solar time, because it is not the measure of continuous time, but of a
succession of thoughts, as in the case of the angels
