Thomas, my heartiest congratulations. I remember so well how challenging a thesis defense can be. "Highest distinction" -- certainly well-deserved!

Do return soon to your blogging ... :)

Dear Thomas,
Congratulations on passing your Master's examination. I pray that the wisdom gained from depthing the works of Fr Servais Pinckaers OP will bear fruit in your own life and in the lives of many whom you have the opportunity to instruct, encourage or encounter. Ad multos annos!

I was going to ask when we start calling you master, but Fr. Stephanos has already started.

Wow!

It looks like an apparition of our Lady of Guadalupe is happening on top of Dr. Smith's head.

"Spiritual Spontaneity at the Heart of Morality" indeed!

And who's that appearing at the bidding of Thomas's raised right hand?

Congratulations Thomas! "Pontificating" you say? Well, that is from the Latin for "bridge building" and in a real sense that is what you have done with American Papist. Very good!
