Journeying with Thomas Aquinas

Friends, on this feast of St. Thomas Aquinas, I invite you to watch the “Pivotal Players” episode about his life and vocation. As many of you know, Aquinas is a dear spiritual friend and hero of mine. In this documentary, we explore his countercultural vocation, the relationship between faith and reason in his works, and more.
St. Thomas Aquinas, pray for us!

I am a Catholic who came back to my faith after many years. Yesterday, I and other loved ones were Confirmed. I chose St. Thomas Aquinas after much contemplation of my Confirmation Saint. Happy Easter all! The Lord is Risen! 💗

God bless you. Christ is King ❤

I am a new practicing Catholic-currently in OCIA-and you are such an important part of my faith. Thank you for all you've done Bishop Barron.

[@rhwinner]

[@davidestate]

Keep up your readings. Once you finish RCIA, your world, the truth be with you and in you. Your journey in Christ, even as a Catholic will not be easy. I am an Catholic Apologetic and my call from God was to help my brothers and sisters, both new and old to come closer to God. Be weary by Christian family around KZbin as there are many who are not taught to speak on subjects but they do as Fundamentalist and not Theologian. If at anytime you have a question of your faith, as the Priest and don't forget you have family in the Church. Even outside the Church, you can ask me. May God continue to Bless you, your family and all that you bring to the church.

The Catholic Church has some of the most beautiful Art in the world

[@user-ci3di3rl7b]

Aquinas brought me to catholicism for the simple fact i seen that he questioned things, he did not have blind faith and i truly admire that. I think it is what sets catholics apart from other prodestant faiths, not that there is anything wrong with prodestants. I just really admire Aquinas and now im in RCIA classes awaiting my baptism. Today is a special day for sure

[@nomadpi1]

Have I missed some vocab lesson? It is "Protestant." Not "prodestant." Protestant, root word "protest," as the questioning MLK, started was a "protest." He nailed his protests to the church's door!

[@MrSmith12341000]

​@nomadpi1 Lol he spelled the word wrong. The point remains.

[@MrSmith12341000]

Welcome Home, user-ci3di3rl7b!! Just had my first communion 2 weeks ago! I am not worthy... that you should enter under my roof... but only say THE WORD and my soul shall be healed. It brings me to tears every Sunday

@@kevinkelly2162 The "God of the gaps" argument, as traditionally advanced by scholarly Christians, was intended as a criticism against weak or tenuous faith, not as a statement against theism or belief in God.

It is amazing and rather sad how many people need to hear even the first 30 seconds of this video. While not as prevalent online today as about a decade ago, there is still a very active false belief that religion and faith are somehow "anti reason." God Bless Bishop Barron.

How appropriate and beautiful to have the hymn of Pange Lingua as the background music to pay tribute to St Thomas Aquinas.

[@GearUp4Alan]

One of my favorite Bishop Baron videos. In less than an hour he takes you by the hand to meet the genius, scholar and Saint Thomas Aquinas, introducing you to his literary work which reflects, the search for truth in large and small issues, using philosophy at the service of theology, and being a historically pivotal character in demonstrating that faith and reason are not at odds but rather coexist and reinforce each other.
