We see our age as the greatest in human history, filled with seemingly unending originality. Yet such dynamism is not a necessary characteristic of great eras. Among the most long-lasting and stable civilizations was that of medieval Europe. There stasis was achieved, and with it a stability that permitted the development of structured thought and intellectual embellishment of unparalleled degree.

Far fr the best introduction to the Angelic doctor
Revisado: 01-11-21
If this were the first introduction to Aquinas I'd have come across then it would have likely been the last time I'd have wanted to read anything else about him or by him. First, let me just say the narration is fine. But the contents of this audiobook were anything but fine. Aquinas comes across as somebody who is no doubt intellectually head and shoulders above his peers, but at the same time most uninteresting, unremarkable, nothing to say to us today, and a relic of a bygone era.

You will love this fascinating and exceptionally well-taught course. What really happened at the Council of Trent? After Luther, Calvin, and Henry VIII, the Council of Trent is one of the most frequently invoked names regarding the Reformation. Even so, few know much about it. As renowned historian Fr. John O'Malley demonstrates, the reality of Trent differs radically from how you probably conceive of it.

Great summary of the Council of Trent

Great summary of the Council of Trent
Revisado: 12-14-18
Keep in mind that these are historical lectures, which tend to be a bit dry. Nevertheless it is well worth your time to invest in these lectures assuming you're interested in learning about the 16th century council that became the bulwark for reforming the Catholic Church for centuries to come. Fr. O'Malley, a truly gifted historian, summarizes not only the decrees and decisions of the council, but also the events that led up to the council. Highly recommended for Church historians, and anyone who has a desire to better understand the what and the whys of the Council.
