[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

-— A poster that uses the screen name of Dumb Ox explained to me that his screen name was chosen from the book title of the same name -—

It actually goes all the way back to Aquinas’ seminary days. He was fat, taciturn, and rarely spoke. His classmates thought he was stupid, and called him the “dumb (mute) ox.”

When his teacher, Church Doctor, Albertus Magnus heard this, he prophesied, “someday this ox will fill the world with his bellowing.”

So true was St. Albert the Great!
