San Tommaso d'Aquino
San Tommaso d'Aquino (1225-1274) was an Italian Dominican friar, philosopher, and theologian, widely regarded as one of the most important figures in the history of Western thought. His works, particularly the 'Summa Theologica,' synthesize Aristotelian philosophy with Christian doctrine, establishing a framework that has influenced Catholic theology for centuries. As a Doctor of the Church, his teachings emphasize the importance of reason in understanding faith. Tommaso d'Aquino is also known for his arguments on natural law and ethics, making him a pivotal figure in the realms of philosophy and education. His co-patronage of the Church's educational mission, as proclaimed by Pope Leone XIV, underscores his enduring impact on the development of Catholic education.
