I love Chesterton, the way he writes just makes me happy. The comparison between Francis and Aquinas puts two apparently entirely different philosophies between the Franciscans and the Dominicans together and weds them over their love for the person of Jesus Christ is beautiful. Also the Angelic Doctor is incredibly humble, something I never considered for a man of his intellect—called me out big time

Just getting through the preface was insane. God blessed this man. Cut right to my very heart in just the preface. I’m not sure if I’m smart enough to read this book but I love the challenge. Cardinal Ratzinger is a bulwark of music, philosophy, and most of all theology.

I would like this way better if I knew way more history. Just going to have to get through this book this first time and come back and read it in 20 years when I’m smarter.

Still struggling to sound out the longer words—making good progress however.
