Why Aquinas? - Episode II, with Fr Dominic Legge, OP, JD, STL, STD, Assistant Professor of Systematic Theology and Director of the Thomistic Institute.
“Unless thou hadst believed, thou wouldst not understand.” (Isaiah 7:9)
Is faith unreasonable? Is it contrary to reason, or in tension with it? St. Thomas Aquinas holds that God, being the ultimate source of reality, is therefore the source of reason and of Divine Revelation. As both faith and reason come from God, and Truth is one, we can be confident that faith and reason will never truly contradict each other. Truth cannot contradict truth.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
