It's the same as seeing police officers in their uniform, clericals are a much needed reminder to us all of the religious and the sacred in our world. Bring back the soutane I say!<br /><br />I am pleased to see St Thomas Aquinas got a mention as his thinking and writing of course has shaped the seminary courses for years. I was pleased to hear from a friend on the weekend who is studying at the Angelicum that many of their courses have a large emphasis on the Summa as a starting point and basis for many courses.<br /><br />I was surprised though to see that St Augustine of Hippo did not get a mention. One of the greatest thinkers The Church has ever had, and a man who's works have influenced the way The Church has interacted with the world ever since. <br /><br />I managed to light a candle in St Mary Major for the Brothers of the Oratory and also one for +Pat.

I can see the "pride of place" sentence that may have made you feel that those people are definitely placed in the definitive order but that's just the individual author of that piece making his best strong pitch for his choice...
