Tales from the Old French, ‘Of the Churl who<br />

Won Paradise’ (circa 1200): How is this, Don Paul<br />

<strong>of</strong> the bald pate, are you now so wrathful who<br />

formerly was so fell a tyrant? Never will there be<br />

another so cruel; Saint Stephen paid dear for it<br />

when you had him stoned to death. Well I know<br />

the story <strong>of</strong> your life; thru you many a brave man<br />

died, but in the end God gave you a good big<br />

blow. Have we not had to pay for the bargain and<br />

the buffet? Ha, what a divine and what a saint! Do<br />

you think I know you not?<br />

St <strong>Thomas</strong> Aquinas, Summa <strong>The</strong>ologica I-II,<br />

Q.103, Art.4, Reply Obj.2 (1272): According to<br />

Jerome, Peter [in Gal 2:6-14] withdrew himself<br />

from the Gentiles by pretense, in order to avoid<br />

giving scandal to the Jews, <strong>of</strong> whom he was the<br />

Apostle; hence he did not sin at all in acting thus.<br />

On the other hand, Paul in like manner made a<br />

pretense <strong>of</strong> blaming him, in order to avoid<br />

scandalizing the Gentiles, whose Apostle he was.<br />

But Augustine disapproves <strong>of</strong> this solution.<br />
