Summa theologica6/30/2023 Because of his strong work in Cologne, the archbishop Conrad of Hochstaden elevated Aquinas to the priesthood in 1250. In 1248 the pair traveled to Cologne, Italy, where Aquinas began to teach under Magnus as a Bachelor professor. Immediately thereafter, Aquinas was sent to Paris to study under Albertus Magnus, a famous Dominican scientist, theologian, and philosopher. It is also estimated that he officially received his Master’s in the Arts from the University of Naples around this time. After his mother and siblings noted his devotion to the Church evidenced by his daily studies and constant writing (not to mention his dismissal of concubines), they relented and allowed him to take his vows with the Dominicans around 1245. To prevent Aquinas from following through with his plan, his family held him captive in the San Giovanni fortress in Rocca Secca, Italy, for nearly two years. His desire for the holy life shocked and upset his family, who lamented his choice of a poor lifestyle devoted to service. After receiving his formative education in Montecassino and Naples, Italy, Aquinas joined the order of the Dominicans. Born in Naples, Italy, around 1225 (scholars debate the exact year of many of his life events) to wealthy nobility, Thomas Aquinas quickly proved himself a pious and astute scholar with an insatiable desire for logic and understanding. Thomas Aquinas also published an opinion on the moral status of embryos andĬatholic Church's current standpoint on the matter. Roman Catholic Church’s body of doctrine, St. Rats in the walls lovecraft6/30/2023 I don’t recall if there are examples of his friendship with a person of color or ethnicity that I can point to. This kind of contradiction is puzzling for most of us. Through accounts of friends, notably of members of the Kalem Club, Lovecraft muttered darkly about ethnic peoples and Hasidic Jews during his time in New York City, but he was good friends with Samuel Loveman, a writer from a Jewish family, and at the time he was married to Sonia Greene, a Jewish immigrant from the Ukraine. I hoped other people had written enough about it, but José is right: I have to face the issue before I can blog on. Lovecraft is well-known for his racism and anti-Semitism, and we're just beginning to discuss his classism as well. Last week, my astute coworker José did what we in the activism community refer to as, “ call me on my sh*t.” Meaning, he cut right to the obvious issue readers of Lovecraft must grapple with in a more enlightened 21 st century: the Lovecraft’s real world bigotry that seeped into his writing. |
