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.

Father Daniel Klimek, PhD reflects on the beginning of Christ’s public ministry and the radical call of discipleship. When Jesus calls the first apostles, He does not simply invite admiration, but demands surrender. Peter leaves his nets behind—his livelihood, his security, his safety—to follow Christ. Those nets, Fr. Daniel explains, symbolize the attachments and “safety nets” that often keep us from deeper freedom in God.
