Fr. Thomas Dailey, OSFS, on Cultivating 'Real' Intelligence

". . .We know that Francis de Sales was quite intelligent and a successful communicator!  After all, he is recognized as a 'doctor' of the Church, whose writings remain insightful for knowing the way to salvation. So, too, he is considered a 'master' of sacred eloquence, whose spoken knowledge from the pulpit provides light for the intellect and warmth for the will. 

"Not surprisingly, then, our patron saint champions the work of the mind.. . ."

In a recent commentary, Father Thomas Dailey, OSFS, reflected on the works of St. Francis de Sales as "an intelligence that is 'real' not artificial."
