I LOVE LOVE LOVE St. Thomas Moore! As a Catholic Humanist he is one of my ultimate models. Combining an exemplary faith life with astounding intellectual acheivment. True there have been other famously intellectual saints ( I think one of them is named St. Thomas Aquinas, he is famous or something like that?) and there have been a long score of matyrs (Perpetua and Felicity remember them?) and even a few married ones...ok I can really only think of one at the moment( St. Monica- the mama of Augustine) BUT Thomas More is all of these things and as a result becomes a very rare kind of historical and religious figure. In a truly Renassiance fashion he is able to perfect mutltiple areas of life- spiritual, personal, political, intellectual- and blend them together seamlessly. He is also truly captures the spirit of the HUST program as he integrates his love of truth and knowledge into everything he does and approach everything problem with an integrated view of the world at large.
O- and he was a huge advocate of woman's education :)
