In this talk, Dr. Lawrence Feingold discusses the great intellectual achievements of Christendom. One of the most pervasive myths or black legends about the Catholic Middle Ages is that it was a period of intellectual stagnation and superstition, in which free thought was stifled by religious authority and dogma. On the contrary, the Middle Ages witnessed a great flowering of the intellectual life, especially in the highest fields of human wisdom: philosophy and theology.   For more information about Miles Christi and what we do visit www.mileschristi.org To help support our apostolate and the possibility of offering more faith formation to the laity, please consider leaving a donation at https://www.mileschristi.org/donations/ For Spiritual Exercises (silent Ignatian retreats) in your area visit https://www.mileschristi.org/spiritual-exercises/
