St. Thomas Aquinas

I think Ben has an awful fear of cameras- this is the only picture I got of him! This is a last minute costume. You'll notice that he is carrying a book of Charlotte and Emily Bronte's books! I've never read them. Anyway, Ben was St. Thomas Aquinas:
Philosopher, theologian, doctor of the Church (Angelicus Doctor), patron of Catholic universities, colleges, and schools. Born at Rocca Secca in the Kingdom of Naples, 1225 or 1227; died at Fossa Nuova, 7 March, 1274.
St. Thomas is VERY well-known, especially for his book Summa Theologica or something like that. Here is a story about him: St. Thomas Aquinas
For anyone wanted to read alot about him, I suggest the book by G.K. Chesterton. We also have a small chapter book on him for anyone who would like to borrow it!
