Thomas Aquinas: Saint and Scholar

Why Aquinas? - Episode I, with Fr Gregory Pine, OP, BA, STL, Assistant Director for Campus Outreach at the Thomistic Institute.

St. Thomas Aquinas' intellectual legacy has enriched the Church almost beyond compare. St. Thomas is especially well-known for the wisdom which he demonstrated in his philosophical and theological works. He is remembered for purity and chastity, which he possessed in perfection. He is said to have preserved a kind of cherubic innocence throughout his life. St. Thomas is regarded at the Common Doctor of the Church—a safe and sure guide—as one who gives most eloquent expression to the Church’s faith and teaching.

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.
