Class Description:
Expounding St. Thomas Aquinas's teaching on God in the first part of the Summa, Father Garrigou-Lagrange not only discusses the attributes of the one God who revealed Himself to Moses, but treats also of the very basis for this discussion in the first place the nature of “Sacra Doctrina” (holy teaching or sacred doctrine) and the pursuit of theology as a science (a body of knowledge) that has God Himself for its object and ultimate goal. To comment, therefore, on the first part of the Summa is to comment not only on God but also on the theological pursuit to which St. Thomas gave himself a pursuit that has as its goal the beatific vision of God. In discussing the place of St. Thomas amidst patristic, medieval, and modern theologians, Garrigou-Lagrange argues in behalf both of the sanctifying end of theology and the synthetic genius of St. Thomas who, he says, summed up the preceding tradition and left a deposit of reflection on God that can scarcely be surpassed.
About “The Society of St. Thomas Aquinas”:
The “Society of St. Thomas Aquinas” is a lay Apostolate, dedicated to the restoration of the Social Kingship of Jesus Christ and Catholic Christendom through the avenue of Traditional Neo Scholasticism.
In the day in which we are living, many Catholic's do not know what the Church has traditionally taught. In this time of confusion, we can only say what the Pope's have said "Ite ad Thomam", Go to Thomas.
This Apostolate is committed to expounding the great teachings of the Angelic Doctor as well as the great Thomist tradition that was in vogue up until the Second Vatican Council. We desire for the clergy and faithful to become faithful disciples of the Common Doctor, for if this happens, the explosion of error will naturally follow.
We wish to fully teach and continue the great Neo-Scholastic Tradition. Neo-Scholastic Thomism identifies with the philosophical and theological tradition stretching back to the time of St. Thomas. In the nineteenth century authors such as Fr. Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange focused not only on exegesis of the historical Aquinas but also on the articulation of a rigorous system of orthodox Thomism to be used as an instrument of critique of contemporary thought, or what the Holy Pope’s called (The Modern errors).
We hope to be a blessing to the Church through our prayer, study and teaching.
