What is a Jew (According to St. Thomas Aquinas)? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What is a Jew? This is a highly disputed question in contemporary discourse. In this article, I want to lay out the simple and profound answer given by St. Thomas Aquinas in his Commentary on Romans (hereafter CoR). I will include many block quotes from CoR in order to prove I am not taking things out of context, so you can evaluate my exegesis for yourself.Subscribe nowSt
A Defense of Hebrew Catholics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of my more controversial theological positions is my defense of the concept of Hebrew Catholics/Jewish Catholics.

Trinitarian Mariology (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Blessed Virgin Mary provides a very helpful example for thinking about Trinitarian theology due to her unique relations to each person.(My explanations here follow Fr. Peter Damian Fehlner’s explication of the theology of St. Maximilian Kolbe. See his book St. Maximilian Ma. Kolbe, Martyr of Christity: Pneumatologist for more information.)This Substack is reader-supported. To receive new posts and support my work, consider
