Whether an angel can change the human senses?
Objections
❌ Objection 1 : It seems that an angel cannot change the human senses. For the sensitive operation is a vital operation. But such an operation does not come from an extrinsic principle. Therefore the sensitive operation cannot be caused by an angel.
❌ Objection 2 : Further, the sensitive operation is nobler than the nutritive. But the angel cannot change the nutritive power, nor other natural forms. Therefore neither can he change the sensitive power.
❌ Objection 3 : Further, the senses are naturally moved by the sensible objects. But an angel cannot change the order of nature (Question [110], Article [4]). Therefore an angel cannot change the senses; but these are changed always by the sensible object.
