More about Aquinas KC
Over the centuries Thomas Aquinas has been called a common doctor due in part to the profundity of his writings across many disciplines. Catholics are not alone in this assessment, as Protestants today are recognizing that Aquinas is a reservoir of wisdom.
It is time for a fresh ecumenism, one in which we gather around Aquinas and together face outward, equipped by our common doctor to answer the challenges of our day. We believe that Aquinas’ theological approach to philosophy and theology merits retrieval during times of severe societal division leading to cultural anomie. It is time we rally around Aquinas’s First Principles to respond to a culture suspicious of God and the goodness of his creation.
Aquinas KC deploys this Thomistic style & strategy to unite Protestants and Catholics in a search for common ground for the common good. To that end, Aquinas KC is a school for catechizing one another in the Thomistic way in our secular age.
