In the Encyclical "Pascendi", prescribing remedies against Modernism, Pius X, following in this his illustrious predecessor, gives the first place to "Scholastic philosophy, especially as it was taught by Thomas Aquinas"; St. Thomas is still "The Angel of the Schools".

If we all blindly followed Scholasticism, then we'd all end up in hell for denying several dogmas.

Sorry Greg, I am not going to waste time reading what you are pushing or debating it all with you. I would rather read the canonized works of St. Thomas anyday.

If Thomas Aquinas spent more time studying the refutations of St. Augustine and the teachings of the Church, and less time studying Aristotle and Greek philosophy, then maybe he wouldn't have fallen into Pelagianism.

That is a shameful and bold attack on the Angelic Doctor, from a comparative nobody.

Tell your story to St Thomas and ask him to help you. He has been canonized and is in heaven now, also having been proclaimed a Doctor of the Church for his preeminence as a theologian. He will help you if you pray to him sincerely.

Try praying to St. Augustine for light to come out of the darkness that is Pelagianism.

I am not a Pelagian.

I am A Roman Catholic.

I pray to St Augustine.

I pray to St Thomas Aquinas.

Do you believe that the unbaptized (particularly children) are innocent of any damnable sin, painless, in bliss, and in the presence of God?

I believe what is de fide.

Do you believe you are an Inquisitor?
