They were never great fans of Thomas Aquinas,
the Dominican monk
who campaigned against the all inclusive
consciousness of Francis of Assisi
by writing that animals have no souls.
Ironically, Dominicans were founded by
Dominic, whose mother had a vision
that he would be a dog of God
(domini.... of God canis dog)
But before he died, after a vision, Thomas
recanted re his theological errors.
