I think the world was short-changed by his martyrdom. And, I can't help but wonder if the accusations against him were even true? The witnesses against him don't seem credible.

Very interesting, but also tragic.

Thank you for that link, Antonio! I was going to ask for more info, but didn't want to be a pest.😉

The Westminster Confession (1646) simplified the question of the purpose of man in simple terms: The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.

Much less exhausting, but still pointing in the same direction.😉

The amount of focus required is exhausting. For example, Aquinas's end goal of life: "Final and complete happiness can consist in nothing other than the vision of the divine essence” (ST 1a2ae 3.8c).

Takes a lot of effort and contemplation to follow where he is leading.

Do I have the right person? Giordona Bruno embraced Calvinism and Reformed theology, but then also embraced other beliefs that resulted in him being convicted of heresy and burned at the stake.

He sounds fascinating. But, honestly, what a terrible time to live. Dangerous churches.

He didn't walk on water...but there is a lot of good there. (Although there may be things I am unaware of.)

Definitely agree on St. Thomas Aquinas. 👍 👍

I love reading Aquinas but it gives me a headache.

And twice on Sundays.

Though I would prefer Il Nolano.
