There is a famous remark of Bonaventura, the Franciscan Master of the neighbouring school to Thomas’s in Paris [who] recalled the dream of St. Jerome who saw himself being whipped at the last judgement for having taken pleasure in reading Cicero. Bonaventura denounced the use of philosophy in theology by many, including the Friars Preacher, saying: “It is like mixing water in the pure wine of the Word of God.” Thomas […] replied […] “It’s not a case of mixing water in the wine, but of turning water into wine.”
