As a Thomist, I can't help admiring the unity and order of his thought, even if it suffers from certain diseases in late medieval philosophy.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14449969414952273164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29442238.post-1150212135775496262006-06-13T10:22:00.000-05:002006-06-13T10:22:00.000-05:00Hey, looks like I stumbled into a meeting of the e...Hey, looks like I stumbled into a meeting of the ex-Calvinist club! ;-)<BR/><BR/>Hope y'all are doing okay.

The Orthodox sometimes take exception to St. Thomas' view of the worship of the image (“Whether the image of Christ should be adored with the adoration of "latria"?”, ST III,.q.25,a.3). The Reformed objection might then differ depending upon whose iconology they are refuting.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14449969414952273164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29442238.post-1149885754098292812006-06-09T15:42:00.000-05:002006-06-09T15:42:00.000-05:00D.

I have not run across it in their literature.

If Calvin purposely or inadvertantly did not respond, the one cannot take his criticisms as seriously. But he was dealing with arguments in a time when the Fathers were adherred to and Tradition was seen as infallible (to a certain extent anyway), so it was tougher to overcome that thought. Today, it is easy enough for a Calvinist to simply blow off the argument and not care about Tradition or Church Fathers.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11556877432847498779noreply@blogger.com
