[1785] Luke 18:33.
[1787] St. Thomas is not here speaking of the strictly moral
indirect cause, but of the accidental cause in the physical sense.
That anyone be called the moral and indirect cause of any effect, it
is not enough that such a person can prevent the effect and does not do
so; but it is also necessary that such person is bound to do so;
otherwise the effect is neither imputed to such person, nor considered
a morally voluntary act. But Christ was not bound to resist His
persecutors in the protection of His life, but He could expose
Himself to death for the redemption of mankind. Such is the opinion
of Suarez
