1. St. Thomas Aquinas ST THOMAS AQUINAS IS THE ANGELIC DOCTOR. HE WAS A CONSUMMATE THINKER BECAUSE HE WAS A CONSUMMATE LOVER. St Thomas Aquinas, 12251274. http://www.doctorsofthecatholicchurch.com/T.html

ST THOMAS AQUINAS IS THE ANGELIC DOCTOR. HE IS UNQUESTIONABLY THE PREEMINENT SPOKESPERSON OF THE CATHOLIC TRADITION ON REASON AND FAITH. OF ALL THE DOCTORS, NONE HAS RECEIVED HIGHER PRAISE NOR MORE SUPPORT FROM THE POPES THAN AQUINAS -(SEE RENGERS' BOOK IN THE SOURCES FOR DETAILS). THOMAS WROTE EXTENSIVELY ON PHILOSOPHY AND THEOLOGY AND HIS MASTERPIECE IS THE SUMMA THEOLOGICA. THOMAS WAS A GENTLE TEACHER WHO BELIEVED FAITH AND REASON WHEN USED WISELY WOULD ENABLE ALL HUMANITY TO KNOW AND LOVE GOD AS THE ANGELS. HE BELIEVED THAT REASON ITSELF WOULDN'T ALLOW US TO KNOW GOD INTIMATELY. HE WAS A CONSUMMATE THINKER BECAUSE HE WAS A CONSUMMATE LOVER. St Thomas Aquinas, 1225-1274. Angelic Doctor, Feast Jan 28th. For a safe and sure guide for knowing, understanding and accepting truth, read Thomas. Teachers, students and anyone associated with education or learning would be wise to implore and ask St Thomas for enlightenment and wisdom. Why? Any attainment of knowledge without its proper application can be harmful or healthy. The Catholic Church has honored this holy man not only for his creative thinking and remarkable holiness but also for his wise usage and blending of his reasoning and believing. Thomas acknowledged that Jesus Christ was the Truth. He stated that knowing and believing are so intricately joined together that it is impossible to do either one without the other. Knowing is a part of believing, albeit hidden, and believing is a prerequisite for knowledge. It is a scientific and logical fact that one can not know unless one believes. It has nothing to do with God, Christ or religion. It is a simple fact. Only an ordered intelligence will grasp this. Why? It is the principle of life. It is very simple and many can not grasp this or care not to admit it. To believe one must want to believe and do it. To believe is an activity. It is more than an assent of the mind.

This crisis flared up just as universities were being founded. Thomas, after early studies at Montecassino, moved on to the University of Naples, where he met members of the new Dominican Order. It was at Naples too that Thomas had his first extended contact with the new learning. When he joined the Dominican Order he went north to study with Albertus Magnus, author of a paraphrase of the Aristotelian corpus. Thomas completed his studies at the University of Paris, which had been formed out of the monastic schools on the Left Bank and the cathedral school at Notre Dame. In two stints as a regent master Thomas defended the mendicant orders and, of greater historical importance, countered both the Averroistic interpretations of Aristotle and the Franciscan tendency to reject Greek philosophy. The result was a new modus vivendi between faith and philosophy which survived until the rise of the new physics. Thomas's theological writings became regulative of the Catholic Church and his close textual commentaries on Aristotle represent a cultural resource which is now receiving increased recognition. The following account concentrates on Thomas the philosopher and presents him as fundamentally an Aristotelian.

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... Home Summa Theologica A B C D ... Z Summa Theologica Because the doctor of Catholic truth ought not only to teach the proficient, but also to instruct beginners (according to the Apostle: As unto little ones in Christ, I gave you milk to drink, not meat 1 Cor. 3:1-2), we purpose in this book to treat of whatever belongs to the Christian religion, in such a way as may tend to the instruction of beginners. We have considered that students in this doctrine have not seldom been hampered by what they have found written by other authors, partly on account of the multiplication of useless questions, articles, and arguments, partly also because those things that are needful for them to know are not taught according to the order of the subject matter, but according as the plan of the book might require, or the occasion of the argument offer, partly, too, because frequent repetition brought weariness and confusion to the minds of readers. Endeavouring to avoid these and other like faults, we shall try, by God's help, to set forth whatever is included in this sacred doctrine as briefly and clearly as the matter itself may allow.

St. Thomas Aquinas Ethica Thomistica . A summary of the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas Thomistic Philosophy Page Summa Theologica Summa Contra Gentiles "The Five Ways" Thomas Aquinas, sometimes called the Angelic Doctor and the Prince of Scholastics, was born at Roccasecca in the ancient Kingdom of Sicily. At about the age of 5 he was placed by his parents in the Benedictine monastery at Monte Cassino, and years later proceeded to the University of Naples where he came into contact with members of the Dominican order. Against the violent opposition of his family, he became a Dominican friar in 1244. From 1245-1252 he studied under the German Scholastic philosopher Albertus Magnus, then went to Paris to teach at the Dominican studium generale. Because Aquinas was heavyset and taciturn, his fellow novices called him Dumb Ox, but Albertus Magnus is said to have predicted that "this ox will one day fill the world with his bellowing." Aquinas was ordained a priest about 1250, and he began to teach at the University of Paris in 1252. His first writings, primarily summaries and amplifications of his lectures, appeared two years later. His first major work was Scripta Super Libros Sententiarum (Writings on the Books of the Sentences, 1256?), which consisted of commentaries on an influential work concerning the sacraments of the church, known as the

St. Thomas Aquinas G. K. Chesterton Scanned by ainsje00@wfu.edu Contents Introductory Note I On Two Friars II The Runaway Abbot III The Aristotelian Revolution ... VIII The Sequel to St. Thomas INTRODUCTORY NOTE This book makes no pretence to be anything but a popular sketch of a great historical character who ought to be more popular. Its aim will be achieved, if it leads those who have hardly even heard of St. Thomas Aquinas to read about him in better books. But from this necessary limitation certain consequences follow, which should perhaps be allowed for from the start. Second, it follows that in any such simplification I can hardly say much of the philosopher beyond showing that he had a philosophy. I have only, so to speak, given samples of that philosophy. Lastly, it follows that it is practically impossible to deal adequately with the theology. A lady I know picked up a book of selections from St. Thomas with a commentary; and began hopefully to read a section with the innocent heading, "The Simplicity of God." She then laid down the book with a sigh and said, "Well, if that's His simplicity, I wonder what His complexity is like." With all respect to that excellent Thomistic commentary. I have no desire to have this book laid down, at the very first glance, with a similar sigh. I have taken the view that the biography is an introduction to the philosophy, and that the philosophy is an introduction to the theology; and that I can only carry the reader just beyond the first stage of the story.

His mother relented somewhat, after the first burst of anger and grief; the Dominicans were allowed to provide him with new habits, and through the kind offices of his sister he procured some books the Holy Scriptures, Aristotle's Metaphysics, and the "Sentences" of Peter Lombard. After eighteen months or two years spent in prison, either because his mother saw that the hermit's prophecy would eventually be fulfilled or because his brothers feared the threats of Innocent IV and Frederick II, he was set at liberty, being lowered in a basket into the arms of the Dominicans, who were delighted to find that during his captivity "he had made as much progress as if he had been in a studium generale In 1245 Albert was sent to Paris, and Thomas accompanied him as a student.

St. Thomas Aquinas' Five Ways Background: St. Thomas Aquinas (1224-1274) was a Dominican priest, theologian, and philosopher. Called the Doctor Angelicus (the Angelic Doctor,) Aquinas is considered one the greatest Christian philosophers to have ever lived. Two of his most famous works, the Summa Theologiae and the Summa Contra Gentiles , are the finest examples of his work on Christian philosophy. "The truth of the Christian faith...surpasses the capacity of reason, nevertheless that truth that the human reason is naturally endowed to know can not be opposed to the truth of the Christian faith." First Way: The Argument From Motion St. Thomas Aquinas, studying the works of the Greek philsopher Aristotle, concluded from common observation that an object that is in motion (e.g. the planets, a rolling stone) is put in motion by some other object or force. From this, Aquinas believes that ultimately there must have been an UNMOVED MOVER (GOD) who first put things in motion. Follow the agrument this way: 1) Nothing can move itself.

During the rest of his life, he taught at Paris and Rome, writing millions of words on philosophical and theological issues and earning his reputation among the scholastics as "the angelic doctor." Aquinas developed in massive detail a synthesis of Christianity and Aristotelian philosophy that became the official doctrine of Roman Catholic theology in 1879. De Ente et Essentia On Being and Essence ) includes a basic statement of Aquinas's metaphysical position. His literary activity stopped abruptly as the result of a religious experience a few months before his death. Although he wrote many commentaries on the works of Aristotle and a comprehensive Summa de Veritate Catholicae Fidei contra Gentiles Summa Contra Gentiles ) (1259-1264), Aquinas's unfinished Summa Theologica (1265-1273) represents the most complete statement of his philosophical system. The sections of greatest interest for survey courses include his views on the nature of god , including the five ways to prove god's existence , and his exposition of natural law Although matters of such importance should be accepted on the basis of divine revelation alone, Aquinas held, it is at least possible (and perhaps even desirable) in some circumstances to achieve genuine knowledge of them by means of the rigorous application of human reason.

19. SUMMA THEOLOGICA: Is It Lawful To Kill Oneself? Is it lawful to kill oneself? By st. thomas aquinas. http://www.newadvent.org/summa/306405.htm

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... Question 64 > Article 5 A B C D ... Z Whether it is lawful to kill oneself? Objection 1. It would seem lawful for a man to kill himself. For murder is a sin in so far as it is contrary to justice. But no man can do an injustice to himself, as is proved in Ethic. v, 11. Therefore no man sins by killing himself. Objection 2. Further, it is lawful, for one who exercises public authority, to kill evil-doers. Now he who exercises public authority is sometimes an evil-doer. Therefore he may lawfully kill himself. Objection 3. Further, it is lawful for a man to suffer spontaneously a lesser danger that he may avoid a greater: thus it is lawful for a man to cut off a decayed limb even from himself, that he may save his whole body. Now sometimes a man, by killing himself, avoids a greater evil, for example an unhappy life, or the shame of sin. Therefore a man may kill himself. Objection 4. Further, Samson killed himself, as related in Judges 16, and yet he is numbered among the saints (Heb. 11). Therefore it is lawful for a man to kill himself. Objection 5.
