    Thank you Dr. Sugrue! I recommend to anyone interested in Saint Thomas Aquinas to find an SSPX chapel near you. The priests of the Society of St. Pius X are given the greatest formation you can find nowadays that is almost entirely rooted in Thomistic thought. If you are interested in experiencing the Mass that Saint Thomas celebrated every day of his priesthood, the Society offers the traditional Latin Mass which is identical to the Mass said by every priest since the time of St. Gregory the Great. God bless!

Your lecture will make it much easier for me to understand as I'm retiring soon and will have time to read it. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of your lectures on philosophy, but won't read most of the works. But Aquinas has always intrigued me and I suspect that reading his work will be a great adventure and very enlightening.

    Thanks for your memory, intellect and knowledge that you spread freely. I'm not a philosophy student and I enjoy learning from you while I don't have to. Recently I felt the urge to review your video's on Plato's Republic and I've gone insane. I can't stop comparing the Islamic Republic of Iran with Platonic Republic. I think what Plato was seeking as you said by connecting the moral and political law can go terribly wrong. What an unjust man can do by misusing his idea is horrifying. And your recent video's are relatable to the current situation of my country, Iran. My people are fighting a just war against the brutal philosophical dogs educated by the unjust philosopher king of this regime and the war is going on. The evil philosopher king that has legalized the breaking natural moral law in the country recently. It means allowing his philosophical dogs to kill the Innocent young people mostly women. it's always a relieve listening to your wise speech and this time made me wish for having an actual international criminal court to put these tyrants on trial.

    What I really need, though, is for someone to write a book titled, "Guide for the Perpetually Perplexed" - the type of book that provides answers to important but overlooked questions such as, "Should a jar of ketchup be refrigerated during very hot weather?"
