simple men and fools.
Folli because of his love of life and living Creator and Lord.
Simple as God and his creatures.
Today joyous memory that the Church of St. Thomas Aquinas, from his fellow students called the dumb ox bellow which gleamed across centuries to the harmony with which combines the simple faith of the great intellectual talent, I want to propose for the glory of the altars his worthy heir: Gilbert Keith Chesterton .
GK Chesterton was the heir of Saint Thomas Aquinas for the large size of its outer body, and for those much larger and inner soul. Their body size, in fact, hosted and served with great effort, the enormous creativity of their souls, perhaps even in anticipation of what was provided by the Creator with a body so great.
heir in spirit with which so penetrated the secret and the manner of St. Thomas, who wrote one of the best introductions and summaries of his thought second Etienne Gilson. No small compliment, considering the nationality of those who did and those who received it and the fact that one was a specialist, while the other just a journalist.
But the absolute masterpiece of his vast production Gutenberg Orthodoxy is without a doubt, a genuine apology for common sense and good reasoning: Some
took the stupid habit of speaking of orthodoxy as something heavy, dull and safe. There is however, nothing so dangerous and so exciting as orthodoxy: the orthodoxy is wisdom and being wise is the most dramatic being crazy, is the equilibrium of a man behind horses running at the precipice, which seems to be bent by hand, hung from that other, yet, in every attitude, preserves the grace of statuary and the accuracy of arithmetic.And again
Crazy is not who has lost his mind, but who has lost everything except the reason.
