Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira

A Beacon of Catholic Sense

St. Thomas Aquinas was a great beacon which God placed in His Church, enlighten, comfort and encourage souls throughout the centuries so that they might more courageously resist the onslaughts of heresy. With his brilliant intelligence and ardent piety he tackled all the problems which in his time were open …

Dona Lucilia

Constant Concern for Her Children’s Education

Dona Lucilia had outdone herself in providing the best possible education for her children at home. However, despite all of her concerns, in 1919, having reached the appropriate age, Plinio would have to be enrolled in school. She naturally chose the best in São Paulo, run by the Jesuit Fathers. …

With the passing of the years, the piety of Our Lady of Fatima’s devotees only grows throughout the world.

The Voice of the Popes

Let Us Learn from the Teaching of St. Thomas

Today I would like to complete, with a third instalment, my Catecheses on St. Thomas Aquinas. Even more than 700 years after his death we can learn much from him. My Predecessor, Pope Paul VI, said […]: “all of us who are faithful sons and daughters of the Church can …

The Flourishing of Holiness

Thanks to the impetus of the preaching friars, St. Thomas Aquinas outstanding among them, Scholasticism reached the height of its brilliance, filling the whole world with awe for its perfect exposition of Theology and Philosophy. The Church would entrust the Dominican Order with the keeping of the sacred deposit of …

Contemplation according to St. Thomas Aquinas - To Contemplate is to Know and Love!
To consider, to appreciate, to observe attentively, to transcend from the physical to the immaterial, to rise from the natural to the supernatural… what exactly is contemplation? To answer this question, we could define contemplation as the act of reflecting on something in search of its deepest meaning. Is that …

Thomas of Aquino, the Saint - Humility, Prudence and Piety
Historians lacking in religious sense often create a unilateral vision of illustrious persons whose central priority was living a life devoted to God. Such biographers fail, no doubt, by appreciating only one or another quality of the figures they portray, forgetting the basic philosophical principle that “the whole is greater …

A theology adopted by the Catholic Church - Go to Thomas!
Catholics today often lack elementary notions about their religion. Some do not even know why they belong to it. They do not realize that their Church is a divine institution, founded more than two thousand years ago by the Incarnate Word, and that it is accompanied by a promise of …

The Highest Title of Glory
When the young aspirant Thomas Aquinas pronounced his principium – inaugural class – in the troubled days of 1256, no one could have suspected they were standing before the one whom future centuries would call “Doctor of Doctors”, “Prince of Theologians”, “Tabernacle of the science and wisdom of God.”1 Indeed, …

Brief Biography of St. Thomas Aquinas - The Angelic Itinerary of a Man
Thomas was born in Aquino at the end of 1224 or the beginning of the following year into one of the most illustrious families of the Kingdom of Sicily. His relatives included the Emperor Redbeard, his uncle, and Frederick II of the Holy Roman Empire, his cousin. Hoping to see …

The Canticle of the Threefold Secret
In a certain period of childhood, numerous questions emerge in a child’s mind, questions that show the desire to investigate and understand the surrounding world: it is the famous age of the “whys”… The youngster begins to navigate the mysterious seas of knowledge, and with each “discovery” feels the joy …

Gospel Commentary

All or Nothing…
Jesus said to His disciples: 44 “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure buried in a field, which a person finds and hides again, and out of joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. 45 “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant …

Blessed Suzanne-Agathe Deloye - “Happy are those whose way is blameless”
Seven kilometres from the town of Orange, in the south of France, is the small Chapel of Gabet. A naturalistic and distracted gaze could consider it as just another monument of piety, among the countless forgotten ones that exist throughout Europe. The reality, however, is different. It is a precious …

St. Thomas the Great
Few historical personages have deserved the title the Great. Alexander received it for his military conquests and the expansion of the Macedonian Empire. Charlemagne, also called the father of Europe, was great because a new civilization was born of him and his Holy Roman-Germanic Empire. Others tried to so denominate …

A Tower Touching Heaven
A man was seated with his elbows on his knees and his chin propped on his hand. It was a fairly common pose, generally speaking, but still a little unusual for a bishop… especially one in the Kingdom of Heaven! “Augustine, you look so thoughtful. Tell me, what happened?” “Oh, …

Nothing Other Than Thomas
The Cusco School of painting is characterized by the application of bright colours, vibrant design and plurality of ornament. To portray the Prince of Scholasticism, the method was no different: the panel is full of allegories, the meaning of which requires careful analysis. Moreover, the Latin inscriptions are truncated. Such …
