“Everything I have written is as straw,” Thus spoke the Saint Thomas Aquinas regarding his writings after mystical experience on Saint Nicholas’ day.

The straw is going cyber. Fellow “Twitterer” @summatheologiae has set out to post an abridged version of St Thomas Aquinas’ Summa Theologiae via Twitter. He explains:

The goal: 1 article per weekday, broken up into a few tweets. I’ll do my best to be brief & funny and inspire you to look up the original.

That is not at all as daft as it might sound. Even following a summary of the Summa in this way would be very beneficial; and as the fellow says, it should prompt you to look up the original.

HT: Hermeneutic of Continuity
