Hi Krimel, Platt and all, [Joe] I have studied the writings of Thomas Aquinas. At the end of his life he is reputed to have said: ³What I have written is as straw!² I don¹t know if this a repudiation of his five proofs for the existence of God, but it certainly seems to fit. [Joe] At the end of his life Aquinas composed the music and words for the Sequences for the office for Corpus Christi. I have sung the Lauda Sion many times and it is magnificent. I have a feeling that he climbed to a different level in himself than when he was explicating the writings of Aristotle in Christian terms.
