Like many priests my age, John Paul became for me a shepherd larger than life and a model for my own priesthood. Only after I entered semi- nary studies and later the Order of Preachers did I come to realize the significance of his pontificate for so many people in the church and in the world. How could one not grow in admiration of him? Thom- as Aquinas, on the other hand, was perennially present in my home growing up, since my mother had a devotion to him (for reasons I still do not quite know). But when I began to study Aquinas in semi- nary and later as one of his brother Dominicans, my devotion both to him and to his teaching grew. This book grew out of a genuine affec- tion for these two great saints and a real conviction that their thought is more connected than is often suggested. For various reasons, some of which were beyond my control, this book has taken many years to produce and there are several peo- ple who must be acknowledged as assisting and supporting its pub- lication along the way. First among those deserving thanks is John Grabowski, who directed the writing of an earlier version of this man- uscript during my doctoral work at the Catholic University of Amer- ica and later insisted repeatedly that it should be published imme- diately. John Corbett, OP, and William Mattison were also crucial reviewers in the early days of the manuscript. I am also grateful for the CUA Press peer reviewers: Jarosław Kupczak, OP, and Deborah Savage. The feedback of these great scholars strengthened this book xi xii Preface and I trust the reader will not hold them responsible for any error they might find herein. Every book needs editors. Eleanor Nicholson performed above and beyond all expectation when she agreed to edit this manuscript in the months just prior to giving birth to her second child, Veroni- ca Eve. Through the intercession of saints Thomas Aquinas and John Paul, may Veronica find happiness in this life and know it perfect- ly in the next. Bianca Czaderna pored over the manuscript to check the spelling of every Polish word. James Kruggel, John Martino, Paul Higgins, and the editorial staff at CUA Press were not only constant supporters of this project, but worked tirelessly to bring it to fruition. This book would never have seen the light of day without the invalu- able assistance of its editors. I am honored that Matthew Levering and Thomas Joseph White, OP, invited this book to be included in the Thomistic Ressourcement Series. The series has published some of the best scholars in Thom- ism, and I am grateful to have my small contribution stand next to theirs since, like them, I believe Thomas Aquinas has much to con- tribute to present-day conversations and debates. Dominic always sent his brethren out two by two; Dominicans do not engage the world alone, but always together. This book would also not have been possible without the support of my Dominican brethren. Fr. Dominic Izzo, OP, and Fr. Brian Mulcahy, OP, as suc- cessive Prior Provincials during my doctoral studies and the writing of this book allowed me the time and space necessary to complete this work. Fr. Kenneth Letoile, OP, and Fr. John Langlois, OP, were also instrumental in encouraging and promoting my studies. Various houses throughout the Order welcomed and supported me as I wrote this book throughout the years: the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, D.C.; St. Pius V Parish in Providence, Rhode Island; and St. Thomas Aquinas Priory at Providence College. Their patience with me and support for this work has been a constant witness of the fraternal charity that so characterizes Dominican life. This is why I am dedicating this book, in part, to my Dominican brothers. The cloistered Dominican nuns at St. Dominic’s Monastery in Linden, Virginia, welcomed me monthly over the last year as I com- pleted this book. Dominic founded communities of cloistered wom- Preface xiii en to support the active mission of the friars. The good fruit that Dominican friars bear to the world is due, in large part, to their inter- cession for us. Finally, the Dominican Sisters of Mary Mother of the Eucharist in Ann Arbor, Michigan, provided me the necessary seclu- sion in the home stretch of this manuscript’s completion. We Domin- ican friars are always grateful to be co-workers with our active sisters for the evangelization of the world. Finally, this book is in memory of my parents, Jack and Mary, with gratitude for the life they gave me and with a prayer that one day we will see each other again in the life to come. Rev. Thomas Petri, OP Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary September 8, 2015 Aquinas and the Theology of the Body Introduction On September 5, 1979, Pope John Paul II began a series of catechet- ical talks on man, woman, love, marriage, and sexuality during his Wednesday general audience. These weekly catecheses concluded on November 28, 1984. They were interrupted only during the pope’s recovery from an assassination attempt in 1981, during a Holy Year (1983–84), and for various other intermittent topics. Collectively, these catecheses have been referred to as a “theology of the body.” De- livered during a time of exceptional confusion on these matters in the church and in society, the content of these addresses has become the focus of a cottage industry of commentaries and popular works. Papal biographer George Weigel suggested that “these 130 catechetical ad- dresses, taken together, constitute a kind of theological time bomb set to go off, with dramatic consequences, sometime in the third millen- nium of the Church.”1 Only time will prove the veracity of this claim.

  • Theological Qua.Rterly
    THEOLOGICAL QUA.RTERLY. VoL. XXI. JULY, 1917. No. 3. WHY DO CATHOLICS ACCEPT THE DEITY OF CHRIST? During the last two weeks of the Sunday campaign in Boston a small tract, or pamphlet, was distributed by mail, apparently by courtesy of the "Massachusetts State Council, K of 0./' since it was published by them, as stated on the title page. The tract is entitled "The Divinity of Christ," with the further information: "One of a Series of Lectures on the Fundamentals of Faith, Delivered. in the Brooklyn Academy of Music before the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences, by Rev. Walter Drum, S. J., Professor of Scripture, Woodstock College. Imprimi Potest: A. J. Maas, S. J., Praep. Prov." On the second page we read: "Nihil Obstat: Patrick J. Waters, Ph.' D., Censor Librorum." Below this: "Imprimatur: William, Cardinal O'Connell, Archbishop of Boston. November 2, 1916." The tract is officially censored and sanctioned, as you see. From a footnote on page three we gather that this lecture was delivered in December, 1915. N ~turally, the tract was read from· cover to cover to ascertain if perchance there might be something new under the ,Jesuit luminary. But herein we were disappointed, which was to be expected. , It is the same sleight-of-hand perform­ . ance that these Jesuits, those brilliant logicians, have always practised to the confusion of their audiences. On receipt of the tract one ,~as led to speculate, too, why these courteous Knights of Columbus distributed this tract at this p~rticular time.

  • DON't MARRY a CATHOLIC! by Daniel A
    DON'T MARRY A CATHOLIC! by Daniel A. Lord, S.J. Imprimi Potest: Daniel H. Conway, S.J. Praep. Prov. Missourianae Nihil Obstat: Frederic C. Eckhoff Censor Librorum Imprimatur: Joseph E. Ritter Archiepiscopus Sti. Ludovici Sancti Ludovici, die 29 Aprilis 1952 Copyright, 1952, by The Queen's Work, Inc. The audience looked shocked. I could tell from their silence that they really were shocked, so, quite frankly, I was pleased. For I had hoped they would be shocked since I had set myself to shock them. The audience I knew to be at least fifty per cent non-Catholic. The section of the country had an historic reputation for not liking Catholics. And many had come to hear me out of sheerest curiosity; what sort of grisly creature was a priest — and a Jesuit priest at that? But the question that I had been handed by the usher was the same question that had been sent up in every city where I had lectured on that particular tour, and this time I had tried a slightly different angle. "What," asked the scrawled note on the card we had been handing out for questions, "do you think of mixed marriages?" UNFAIR TO THE PROTESTANT So I had answered the question in all sincerity. "I should strongly advise any non-Catholic not to marry a Catholic," I answered, and one slight gasp punctuated the rather appalled silence. "I don't think it's fair to the Protestant (as it certainly is not to the Catholic), and I advise my Protestant friends, of whom I have many, never, if they can avoid it, to fall in love with Catholics." Perhaps the odd part is that I meant exactly what I said.
