    Father Ambrose was my TA in my university ancient/medieval philosophy class. He was the first priest I’d met, and his always thoughtful and enlightening teaching in class was a big part of the beginning of my interest in Catholicism. Happy to say I was received into the church 4 years ago! Thanks for all you do Father, you’re the best!!!

    Some questions are just too long winded. I was just about to click off, but; thank you Father for clarifying and paring that question down. Some folks just want to impress us too much with their "intellect." Some questions were plain stupid.

    Be an open-minded Thomist... great advice. By 'open-minded,' I mean be like St. Thomas himself. St. Thomas could not have accomplished or understood what he did without this quality, as evidenced by his extreme devotion to the Syriac Fathers... and the Greeks, pagan philosophers, and Muslim resources he made use of... never deviating from the orthodoxy of our faith. We must never limit the Holy Spirit, or imagine that we can or have cornered the market on understanding, or that we have circumscribed Mysteries... of that that the Thomistic way is the only or best way to originate or postulate. He gave use a great tool.

    Thomism makes sense because it resonates with reality better than any other philosophycal system.
    When you understand St. Thomas, the rest of philosophers seem just rookies.

      I'm personally astounded at Aquinas' arguments for such undeniable truths as geocentrism and delayed ensoulment and celestial influence over gender during gestation. His knack for argument from authority is particularly gratifying!

    I'm a Thomist who should learn much more about Thommsim. But Father's comment about how to tell which Thomists are faithful St. Thomas's thought reminds me of Protestants who read the Bible to see whether their pastor teaches what it teaches. Though I earned a philosophy degree, I need experts to help me interpret Thomism just as I need the Catholic Church to to correct me when I misinterpret Sacred Scripture.
    Dr. Eleonore Stump and Fr. Brian Davies are my Thomistic mentors because they're Aquinas scholars.

    I have a question.
    Can the inference of a disclaimer prove that such increasing concern of the proposed knowledge actually transcends the need to be openly social about its future reference in reviewing? - I say this about a specific conurbation regarding a publisher’s note in the knowledge known beforehand on the leading vice of noting consignment based issues.

      Condmned by the council of Trent that heavily relies on St. Thomas and to add its also the position of St. Belarmine. But we can also look at Fathers prior to St. Thomas. St. Thomas did not only summarize and synthesize catholic teaching, but also expanded/developed it further.

      Did Aquinas contribute to the sexual abuse "catastrophe [of[ the great majority of sacramental marriages are invalid" (Pope Francis, 10/6/21; 16/6/16) by his position that the female is not an active agent in conception of a child?
