Happy Feast of St. Thomas Aquinas!
Here is a reflection from Fr. Robert Barron, at Word on Fire. And, if you do not yet own Chesterton's The Dumb Ox . . . fix that.

thank you for promoting the book and for promoting Fr. Barron
both, Chesterton and Fr. Barron are inspirational in different ways, and i greatly enjoy both
yet, after starting to read Summa (and i am far from finishing, maybe it's a lifetime work for a reader as well), i find nothing in common between Chesterton and Aquinas (other than, maybe, their built) and Fr. Barron looks almost positivistic
St. Thomas, on the other hand, surprises mostly by lack of regiosity (it's so inherent that you don't notice it), but rather as a great legal mind
maybe, the greatest legal mind of all times
