[Slyfox]

The medieval mind that gave us both Gothic architecture and scholasticism has a loving luminosity that transcends both the cold mathematical clarity of Descartes and the wild passions of a Schopenhauer

That medieval mind also gave us the ideas that eventually made it into the early colonial colleges in America which formed the minds of our Founders.

“...formed the minds of our Founders...”

Unfortunately the Founders did not factor in original sin (i.e., the tendency for power to corrupt) and write term limits into the Constitution.
