Quaestiones Disputatae: The Ite ad Thomam Forum

Contact owners and managers

1–30 of 222

Welcome to Quaestiones disputatae! Quaestiones Disputatae ("Disputed Questions," named after several works by St. Thomas Aquinas whose titles begin with those words), is a forum moderated by Don Paco, the author of the Ite ad Thomam blog. By holding Scholastic disputations and intelligent theological discussions on traditional Catholic issues, we aim to promote traditional Catholic thought and to help traditional Catholics think like scholastic Thomists.

Feel free to ask a question by creating a new discussion, or simply engage in any of the existing discussions.

Sancte Thoma, ora pro nobis!

Don Paco
