The truth of our faith becomes a matter of ridicule among the infidels if any Catholic, not gifted with the necessary scientific learning, presents as dogma what scientific scrutiny shows to be false.

More quotes by Thomas Aquinas
God is never angry for His sake, only for ours.
Thomas Aquinas
Charity is not a potency of the soul, because if it were it would be natural. Nor is it a passion, because it is not in a sensitive potency in which are all passions. Nor is it a habit, because a habit is removed with difficulty charity, however, is easily lost through one act of mortal sin. Therefore charity is not something created in the soul.
Thomas Aquinas
Love follows knowledge.
Thomas Aquinas
Whatever is received is received according to the nature of the recipient.
Thomas Aquinas
The human mind may perceive truth only through thinking, as is clear from Augustine.
Thomas Aquinas
The Bread of angels has become the Bread of mankind This heavenly Bread puts an end to all images O wonderful reality! The poor, the slave, and the humble can eat the Lord.
Thomas Aquinas
It [covetousness] is a sin against God, just as all mortal sins, in as much as man condemns things eternal for the sake of temporal things.
Thomas Aquinas
We can't have full knowledge all at once. We must start by believing then afterwards we may be led on to master the evidence for ourselves.
Thomas Aquinas
The things that we love tell us what we are.
Thomas Aquinas
As regards the individual nature, woman is defective and misbegotten, for the active power of the male seed tends to the production of a perfect likeness in the masculine sex while the production of a woman comes from defect in the active power.
Thomas Aquinas
It is requisite for the relaxation of the mind that we make use, from time to time, of playful deeds and jokes.
Thomas Aquinas
The custom of the Church has very great authority and ought to be jealously observed in all things.
Thomas Aquinas
It seems that God does not exist because if one of two contraries be infinite, the other would be altogether destroyed. But the word God means that He is infinite goodness. If, therefore, God existed, there would be no evil discoverable but there is evil in the world. Therefore God does not exist.
Thomas Aquinas
It is not theft, properly speaking, to take secretly and use another's property in a case of extreme need: because that which he takes for the support of his life becomes his own property by reason of that need
Thomas Aquinas
It must be said that charity can, in no way, exist along with mortal sin.
Thomas Aquinas
Nothing created has ever been able to fill the heart of man. God alone can fill it infinitely.
Thomas Aquinas
The world of pure spirits stretches between the divine nature and the world of human beings because divine wisdom has ordained that the higher should look after the lower, angels execute the divine plan for human salvation: they are our guardians, who free us when hindered and help to bring us home.
Thomas Aquinas
To pretend angels do not exist because they are invisible is to believe we never sleep because we don't see ourselves sleeping.
Thomas Aquinas
The minister to whom confession is made is the delegate of Christ, Who is the Judge of the living and the dead.
Thomas Aquinas
There is within every soul a thirst for happiness and meaning.
Thomas Aquinas
