Note:
Connected to yesterday’s post, French Dominican Antonin Sertillanges is clear that pretty much any field of study can be consecrated in the Christian scholar. There is freedom and responsibility in choosing.

Quote:
“It is not possible to give any exact advice as to what should be studied, and still less as to the proportion of the different elements to be included in a plan of work. St. Thomas makes no mention of these things in his Sixteen Precepts. In reality, this is a matter of personal vocation, closely dependent on the object in view.” (p. 101)
