Show HideAbout St. Thomas Aquinas
St. Thomas Aquinas lived in the 13th century in Italy and is one of the great teachers of the medieval Catholic Church. He is a Doctor of the Church and is known as the Angelic Doctor due to his writings about the Catholic faith.
Although he was called, “Dumb Ox” by his teachers as a young boy, he really just had such a brilliant mind that he was mentally on another level altogether.
St. Thomas Aquinas is best known for his writings. He wrote about the unity between faith and reason and that everything comes from God the Creator. The Summa Theologica was his last and most famous work. Many people view St. Thomas as a great philosopher like Plato or Aristotle. However, on his death bed he said, “All that I have written seems to me like so much straw compared to what I have seen and what has been revealed to me.”
