Congratulations! I knew you would bring up Aquinas. He was one of the first scientific thinkers. That's why he had to turn himself inside out to reconcile the scriptures with logic and the observable universe. The Church has spent 2000 years covering the intellectual potholes in parts of the Bible. Aquinas was the best at it. I love Tommy.
Why shouldn’t I? He is universally acclaimed, as a theologian and philosopher, to be one of the very best from any period of history, and rightly so. Acclaimed, that is, except for you and a few likeminded Agnostics and Atheists. Aquinas reduces your anti-Christian thesis to ruins, so, predictably, you are forced to resort to the lowest form of political tactics in response: denigration; revisionism; changing the subject; and a breezy familiarity to convey the impression of contempt while maintaining plausible deniability. ‘Tis the silly season of politics, so we are witness to this form of activity every day. Your behavior mirrors that of a sniggering child throwing spit wads at an adult.
