January 28^th is the saint day for Thomas Aquinas (1222-1274), called “the Doctor of the Church” for his theology and philosophy.

A Roman Catholic Dominican priest, he said that God is the source of humanity’s natural reason, and the light of faith.

He was the most influential thinker of the Middle Ages. His “Thomist” approach to faith and reason is part of the lively braiding (and debates) of Christian thought down through the ages.
