The Aquinas Institute: Discounted Pre-Orders on new, affordable Works of Aquinas

I received the following note from Dr. Peter Kwasniewski of Wyoming Catholic College, with news of a new initiative that is very worthy of our support: Some years ago, a group of theologians at Wyoming Catholic College came together to establish The Aquinas Institute for the Study of Sacred Doctrine.By now you may already know about the ambitious project that our Institute has launched — nothing less than publishing, over time, the works of Thomas Aquinas, in Latin certainly, and whenever possible, in bilingual Latin/English editions, in a uniform hardcover format, beautifully printed, and (finally) at affordable prices.

Kvetched Comments Left on Catholic Blogs

We see a lot of this.Many are deleted, some are not.Chronic whining, complaining, or bitching.About everything under the sun: popes living or deceased, Vatican II, etc.We need to keep positive.And to have a sense of humor.Be filled with the Holy Ghost.It is in poor taste to speak ill of popes.
