Mortimer Adler

Like emperor Constantine
You were a convert 
to Catholicism on the deathbed.
Fascinated by Thomas Acquinas

and your other heroes:
Etienne Gilson, Jacqes Maritain,
Martin D’Arcy.
You considered yourself a pagan

and wrote a book,
“How to Think About God”,
as a guide for others.
You demonstrate God as the exnihilator

and you were not involved
with mixtures of truth and error –
particularly the moral
philosophy of Kant.
