All things have a common origin‚ a common beginning. In his Quinque viæ‚ St. Thomas Aquinas discussed about the existence of a higher divine being in the form of five points: the unmoved mover; the first cause; the argument from contingency; the argument from degree; and the “argument from design” idea. In a similar fashion for all Ryanites‚ specifically‚ the Catholic school students and alumni of the continental United States of America‚ their very existence as students of American Catholic Education

"God created man a rational being with free will‚ conferring on him the dignity of a person who can initiate and control his own actions." Thus‚ he can choose God‚ or he can choose against God .

Original Sin is a Christian theology first proposed by St. Augustine as a way of explaining that humans innately have a tendency to be evil and why humans are capable of being evil. Original Sin comes from the concept of the Fall from when Adam first sinned.

His extensive knowledge probably gave birth to the story that he had memorized the whole Latin Bible. In theory St. Thomas‚ as Augustine before him‚ believed that theological reasoning must be based only on the literal sense of Scripture.

Over Thanksgiving break I attended The St. Louis Art Museum‚ or SLAM‚ as it is affectionately known by the locals. I focused on the Later European Art‚ especially from the Netherlands‚ because I find it captivating and unique.
