Summa 2.0 | National Catholic Reporter

Summa 2.0 | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB:I don't think many study the Summa in its raw form in college or even minor seminary, although it is interesting to do so provided one is aware of its flaws, especially having to do with women as malformed males.  Moderns don't traditionally mention his discussions of Astrology either (his mentor was a white magician, Albertus Magnus - with magnus referring both to his greatness and his miractles). In other words, taking him at face value is risky unless one has an eye for anachronism.  I wonder how his work would fare a the hands of the CDF?  Still, not Catholic collegiate education is complete without Aquinas.  Indeed, it is really the only reason to go to Catholic school (aside from finding other marriage minded Catholics and the availability of Sunday Mass - or of course going on to study Theology at a Major Seminary).
