Keep it simple, stupid: A Catholic lunch lesson for life

Robert Brennan describes an experience at a Catholic roundtable lunch where participants identified themselves as disciples of St. Thomas Aquinas. According to Brennan, the group suggested that devotion to the saint was a necessary part of the true Catholic faith.

Brennan notes that the discussion felt like an attempt to categorize people into "us" or "them" groups. He observed that the well-educated participants used the term disciple to describe their connection to Aquinas, a descriptor Brennan believes should be reserved for followers of the Holy Trinity.
