A book idea...

I want to use this post to initiate a research project. The label will be Aquinas On Metapolitics. I want to use posts in this category to compile my findings on what St.Thomas Aquinas, and other leading Scholastic philosophers, taught about 1) race and ethnicity, 2) gender and identity, and 3) teratology and problematic biology.

I don't believe St. Thomas proposed his arguments under such rubrics, not the least since they are (post)modern concepts, but I do believe that the perennial wisdom of his teaching, and of the Church's Scholastic patrimony in general, does "speak to" those contemporary categories and debates, precisely by being perennial teachings.

Hello, and providentially, maybe it is time to crack open again Fr. Donald J. Keefe's Covenantal Theology that you reviewed so well here and on Amazon. As it so happens Fr. Keefe has just passed away this February 27th, 2018. And his unedited drafts of v. 3 and 4 are posted on CatholicLearning.com as well.

"Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen"
