	Saint Thomas Aquinas
		Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) lived at a critical juncture of western culture when the arrival of the Aristotelian corpus in Latin translation reopened the question of the relation between faith and reason, calling into question the modus vivendi that had obtained for centuries.
		Thomas was born in 1225 at Roccasecca, a hilltop castle from which the great Benedictine abbey of Montecassino is not quite visible, midway between Rome and Naples.
		Thomas emphasizes those passages in the Aristotelian natural writings which speak of the order of determination, that is, of what considerations come first and are presupposed to those that come later.

		The style of St. Thomas is a medium between the rough expressiveness of some Scholastics and the fastidious elegance of John of Salisbury; it is remarkable for accuracy, brevity, and completeness.

		This long association of Thomas with the great polyhistor was the most important influence in his development; it made him a comprehensive scholar and won him permanently for the Aristotelian method.
		At the same time Thomas distinguished the gratia sacramentalis from the gratia virtutum et donorum, in that the former in general perfects the essence and the powers of the soul, and the latter in particular brings to pass necessary spiritual effects for the Christian life.

		Thomas Aquinas (1225 - 1274; of Aquino, Italy) was an Italian philosopher and theologian known as the Angelic Doctor.
		Thomas also continued in the spirit of Albert the Great to lay a foundation of legitimacy for the Christian study of natural phenomena that allowed Christian Europe to proceed to the initial stages of the scientific revolution.
		Such skepticism, on the part of Albert, was adopted by his pupil, Thomas, and led both men to believe that one could be a sincere Christian and an objective observer of natural phenomena.

	SAINT THOMAS AQUINAS by Jospeh Pieper (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Thomas did not discover and map out his majestic outline of Christian teaching in the "silence of the cloister cell." It was not in some idyllic sphere of retirement cut off from the happenings in the world that he lived out his life.
		Thomas, then only a little over twenty, and because of his strength, his slow movements and his characteristic silence, dubbed by his fellow students "the dumb ox," probably did not suffer unduly from these circumstances; though, of course, they do not convey the idyllic picture of a peaceful cloister cell.
		If Thomas, at the height of his fame as a teacher, was capable of such humility, we have to see in it not so much the sign of modest self-effacement, but rather the courage to face truth, to which belongs the courage to see in a thesis neither less nor more than its premises warrant.
