About Me

My photo
I hold a Master of Theological Studies from the University of Dallas' Institute for Religious and Pastoral Studies. God has called me to be a father and to teach, so I now serve through From the Abbey, my catechetical apostolate. Brother Thomas is the persona I created for the moral theology textbook Dear Brother Thomas.

Intellectual Independence

Thinking things through for yourself & being aware of the influence of others on your thinking

Intellectual Perseverance
