Robert – “Change is the essential process of all existence.” (Spock)

Episode 030 "Our Heroes: Thomas Aquinas"
Friday Dec 20, 2019
Friday Dec 20, 2019
Robert captains a seriously deep episode on the father of Scholasticism, Doctor of the Church Thomas Aquinas. Francis is in awe and Martin works hard to keep up.
Reading much of Thomas Aquinas is a magnum opus unto itself, but his great masterwork, the Summa Theologica (often just called the Summa) is available online for free and in its entirety on the New Advent website.
And believe it or not, his Wikipedia page does a very good free biography of him and of his many great contributions to learning.

Remember when the networks would advertise sitcom episodes with "Tonight on a very special 'Blossom'" or "Tonight on a very special 'Facts of Life'" and it meant a character was going to smoke weed or lose her virginity?
Yeah, well we aren't doing that.
What we are doing is staking a claim to our podcast ground.
Give a listen. This is who we are and what we're about.
