Which of the Catholic Saints would you have loved to interview and why? Well, my favorite saint is Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati, so I would naturally love to sit down and chat with him. Then there’s Bl. Teresa of Calcutta, St. Francis Xavier, and St. Augustine. But one man I would love to interview, especially in light of today’s secular tsunami, is St. Thomas Aquinas. I’d ask him two questions. First, what would he say to the so-called New Atheists (Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris, etc.) My guess is that he’d treat their arguments seriously and fairly before offering devastating point-by-point refutations. My second question would be, how do you become a thinking saint? He’d probably give the same answer he gave his sister: “You will it.” But I’d try to squeeze more out of him.
