Sedes Sapientiæ is a quarterly review published in French, founded more than thirty-five years ago by the Fraternity of Saint Vincent Ferrer. It is placed under the protection of Our Lady, “Seat of Wisdom” (Sedes Sapientiæ in Latin) and of Saint Thomas Aquinas. Its aim is to help Christians deepen their religious knowledge by forming their intelligences in the light of the common Doctor of the Church, Saint Thomas Aquinas, and to contribute to religious debates in fidelity to Catholic Tradition and the Church’s magisterium.
Sedes Sapientiæ has many English-speaking friends and benefactors around the world. We are happy to thank them by offering this special issue to the public.
