The Angelic Doctor, St. Thomas Aquinas
The Angelic Doctor, St. Thomas Aquinas
Within the history of the Catholic Church, there has been really no other saint quite like St. Thomas Aquinas, whose feast day we celebrate on Jan. 28. He is called the “Angelic” Doctor of the Church due to his great intellectual capacity and angelic purity. In fact, the seminaries now are going back to the tradition of teaching Thomistic theology, based on his teaching. Father Daniel Klimek shares insight on this great saint.
