Can Beauty Save The World?

Join them for a Thomistic Institute lecture on "Can Beauty Save the World?" by Dr. Raymond Hain of Providence College.

O Saving Beauty – Aquinas On Art and Liturgy

Though St. Thomas Aquinas never wrote a treatise on beauty, the few things he did say have had a profound influence on Catholic aesthetics. He himself was also the author of one of the most beautiful liturgies of the medieval church: the prayers for the feast of Corpus Christi. These old things remain powerful for us today, a source of constant renewal and a justification of Pope Benedict XVI’s claim that "art and the saints are the greatest apologists for the faith."
