Whether St. Thomas Aquinas is ever Wrong?

Objection 1:  It would seem the Angelic Doctor is never wrong, because I really like him.
Objection 2:  Further, everything I’ve read by him so far is right.
Objection 3:  Further, the Church says he’s a really cool guy.
On the Contrary:  St. Thomas Aquinas falsely claims that the argument of Objection 6 is not demonstrative in Article 2 of Question [...]

The Rational Case for God: Part I

As per request by several atheist commenters on another blog, I have endeavored to lay out what I think is the most rational case for God’s existence.  I shall do this in a series of posts which will be composed throughout the next several weeks, and if needs be, I will respond to any questions [...]

Raving Theist Emerges

In my previous post, I mentioned challenging Raving Atheist to a debate.  It doesn’t look like that’ll be happening after all, for obvious reasons.

When Time Began

St. Thomas Aquinas once argued that we can’t know whether time had a beginning, or in other words, whether the world has always existed.  I’m convinced that I’ve managed to prove the Angelic Doctor wrong on this point.  I know I’m making an extremely bold claim, but please consider my argument.

St. Therese the Little Existentialist?

A strange eccentricity often haunts the minds of Catholic intellectuals.  These rare, strange individuals constitute what I like to call The Catholic Hall of Weirdness.
Whether it be Postmodern Papist’s taste for deconstructionalism, Darwin Catholic’s boisterous enthusiasm for the mythos of theistic evolution, Archbishop John J. Myer’s Space Vulture, or Mark Shea’s flamboyant contrarianism, I’m proud [...]
