Should the Summa be Considered a Miracle. ─  If you ask How did it happen that this man, living six hundred years ago wrote a theology suited to the needs of all times? I answer in the words of Pope John XXII: "Doctrina ejus non potroit esse sine miraculo (His learning cannot be explained without admitting a miracle)."
