As you have begun to work on those sections I just introduced to that page a month or so ago (it was sadly lacking), do you think that philosophy and theology ought to be maintained as separate sections? It kind of makes the philosophy section seem scant, but it also seems to distinguish between things as Aquinas himself never did or could have, considering his fundamental beliefs. What do you think?

I knew the quotation I provided from the Summa was from an objection. I had seen it quoted and attributed to Aquinas before as his opinion, so I did likewise. My reading of that passage, however, affirms that Aquinas does not disagree that "without grace, man cannot know truth", he only specifies what this means, because to him it is different from what it means to most. Anyways, it's no big deal, but perhaps the relation between revelation (grace) and the senses can be further elucidated, Aquinas' epistemology is very important in Western philosophy.

Hey, i agree with what you've said and it seems stupid of me to put it in there in the first place, apologies. But im not sure that leaving the educational institutions named after TA out of there was so smart? although it could be right? but i dont think so, in my view it should be re-instated - but im not ovrly strong on the idea.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Settlers of canaan box.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 04:03, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Can you help find a citation for the view below linked to Aquinas in the Jesus article (under Majority view)?
The satisfaction view of atonement for sin, first articulated by Anselm of Canterbury, is that humanity owes God a debt of honor. This debt creates essentially an imbalance in the moral universe; it could not be satisfied by God's simply ignoring it. In this view, the only possible way of repaying the debt was for a being of infinite greatness, acting as a man on behalf of men, to repay the debt of honor owed to God. Therefore, when Jesus died, he paid a debt to God, his father. Thomas Aquinas consided atonement and articulated that rather than seeing the debt as one of honor, he sees the debt as a moral injustice to be righted. Aquinas concludes that punishment is a morally good response to sin, "Christ bore a satisfactory punishment, not for His, but for our sins," and substitution for another's sin is entirely possible. citation needed -- Carlaude ( talk) 13:59, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
I am contacting you because you have contributed extensively to the article Thomas Aquinas. The article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force in an effort to ensure all listed Good articles continue to meet the Good article criteria. In reviewing the article, I have found there are some issues that may need to be addressed, listed on the article's talk page. I will check back in seven days. If these issues are addressed, the article will remain listed as a Good article. Otherwise, it may be delisted (such a decision may be challenged through WP:GAR). If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at WP:GAN. Feel free to drop a message on my talk page if you have any questions, and many thanks for all the hard work that has gone into this article thus far. Lampman ( talk) 19:46, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot ( talk) 17:13, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
