Men of HopeThe Emotional Life and St. Thomas AquinasDiscover the surprisingly refreshing and deeply transformative insights of St. Thomas Aquinas on the emotional life. Far from being outdated or repressive, his teachings challenge many modern misconceptions—including those found within Catholic circles—about the role of emotions and the sensitive appetite. This presentation explores how Scripture is often misinterpreted in ways that hinder emotional well-being and contradict both Aquinas and the Church’s authentic teachings. By reclaiming a Thomistic understanding of our passions, we open the door to genuine freedom and the possibility of reaching new spiritual and emotional heights.2025-05-2545 min
