The Thomistic Institute

The Thomistic Institute exists to promote Catholic truth in our contemporary world by strengthening the intellectual formation of Christians at universities, in the Church, and in the wider public square. The thought of St. Thomas Aquinas, the Universal Doctor of the Church, is our touchstone.

The Thomistic Institute Podcast features the lectures and talks from our conferences, campus chapters events, intellectual retreats, livestream events, and much more.

Founded in 2009, the Thomistic Institute is part of the Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, DC.

Who Decides and With What Authority? | Prof. Michael Root Apr 19, 2024

Show notes

Professor Michael Root explores the question of who has the authority to make binding decisions on matters of faith within Christianity. It traces the historical development of this issue from the early Church through the Reformation, highlighting Luther's principle of sola scriptura and the concept of private judgment in Protestantism. The speaker contrasts this with the Catholic understanding of authoritative decision-making through councils, papal declarations, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, emphasizing the ability to close questions definitively in Catholicism versus the potentially "fissiparous" nature of Protestantism.

This lecture was given on February 3rd, 2024, at the Dominican House of Studies.
