By universal consent, St. Thomas Aquinas (1225–March 7, 1274) is the preeminent spokesman of the
Catholic tradition of reason and of divine revelation. He is one of the great teachers of the medieval
Catholic Church, honored with the titles Doctor of the Church and Angelic Doctor. We can look to
Thomas Aquinas as a towering example of Catholicism in the sense of broadness, universality, and
inclusiveness. We should be determined anew to exercise the divine gift of reason in us, our power to
know, learn, and understand. At the same time, we should thank God for the gift of His revelation,
especially in Jesus Christ.
