Reasoned Kreyche: "St. Thomas himself, many of whose views were condemned after his death, would be appalled at the blind way we shamble in his huge footsteps. The magnificent company of non-Catholic thinkers-Spinoza, Kant, Kierkegaard, Sartre-are too often presented in our texts as straw men to be knocked down with a pat phrase and a smirk for the stupidity of those who don't agree with us."
