saint in the Catholic Church

born in Italy to nobility

studied theology

famous written work was Summa Theologica,
considered one of the major Catholic ethical and
doctrinal standards
 ...This is the deepest, the most profound possibility –
and Jesus opens it. But in Christianity it is lost.
Christianity started to weave theories around it, it
became a head affair – not only a heart affair, it
became a head affair. Christians have produced great
theologians. Look at Thomas Aquinas' Summa
Theologica – hundreds of volumes of theology. But
they missed because Jesus is not in the head. And
because of these head-oriented theologians, mystics
who were of the heart, who were a little deeper, were
expelled from the church. Eckhart and Francis were
expelled. They were thought fools, or to have gone
mad, or to be heretics – because they were talking of
the heart, they were talking of love...
