14 Evident Truths from the Organizational Genius of St. Thomas Aquinas

"14 Evident Truths from the Organizational Genius of St. Thomas Aquinas: How 'Born Again Thomism' Can Help Save the West from Cultural Suicide", by Peter A. Redpath, at Studia Gilsoniana.

"SUMMARY

"This paper is written to articulate in a summary form 14 evidently-known essential and personalistic principles from the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas needed, especially by Pope Francis, to understand a third period of neo-Thomism we are now in: Born-again, or Ragamuffin, Thomism. It maintains that, without application of these principles to the Church’s 'new evangelization,' this movement will fail. With that failure the Church will be unable to halt the cultural suicide in which the West is presently engaged."

See
Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica, in Great Books of the Western World (first edition, 52 Vol., 1952) volumes 19-20, and Great Books of the Western World (second edition, 60 Vol., 1990) volumes 17-18.
