    Two years ago, we launched Aquinas 101. It’s a series of short YouTube video courses introducing young people to the classic truths of the Catholic tradition. We are stunned at its success. We’ve had over 40k people sign up for the course & the videos have over 3 million views!

    Today is the 700th anniversary of the canonization of our patron, St. Thomas Aquinas. Pope John XXII officially canonized him on July 18, 1323 — just 49 years after his death. St. Thomas Aquinas, pray for us!

    "Aquinas holds that if someone gives a bad argument for God, we shouldn't act as if everything is ok because 'at least they are on the right team.' We should shoot the argument down, Aquinas says, lest people think that belief in God is based on this bad reason." —Michael Gorman
