Sessions on the Teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas
" ... the principles of philosophy laid down by St. Thomas Aquinas are to be religiously and inviolably observed, because they are the means of acquiring such a knowledge of creation as is most congruent with the Faith; of refuting all the errors of all the ages, and of enabling man to distinguish clearly what things are to be attributed to God and to God alone ... We therefore desired that all teachers of philosophy and sacred theology should be warned that if they deviated so much as a step, in metaphysics especially, from Aquinas, they exposed themselves to grave risk." St. Pope Pius X, Doctoris Angelici
St. Thomas Aquinas in the Family
Kenton, in this session, touches the surface of the depth of the teaching of St. Thomas Aquinas with the purpose of integrating this right way of thinking into our family life. As St. Thomas is advocated by many Popes to be taught in our schools, homes and universities, it is important to find a way to begin to do this. This session focuses on the language we use with our children and how the right language can lead to right thinking. It also gives an introduction to right anthropology so that questions on 'gender fluidity' and 'transgender' can be properly discussed and answered. This is an important and timely session for Catholics in modern society.
