When was Saint Philomena born?
St. Philomena is a very unusual case. On May 24, 1802, in the Catacombs
of Priscilla, a tomb was found containing the bones of a girl about 14
years of age. On top of the tomb were three tiles which were inscribed
with "Pax Tecum Filumena" "Peace with you, Philomena"). Also found was a
small glass vial containing dried blood. All this seemed to indicate that
this was the tomb of a girl named Philomena who was martyred.
The remains were boxed and placed in storage until 1805 when a priest
named Francesco De Lucia requested relics for a new altar for his church
in Mugnano del Cardinale. He was given the remains of Philomena. Soon
after, devotion to the little saint spread throughout Europe, especially
in Italy and France. Miracles began to be reported and even St. John
Vianney made note of a miracle and built a shrine to her in his church in
Ars.
The only evidence we have for Philomena are her bones, the vial of blood
and the inscribed tiles. The information about her life came from private
revelations to two individuals where her life and death are spelled out.
Pope Gregory XVI gave permission on January 13, 1837, for public
veneration of Philomena in some limited places but not throughout the
Church. This was interpretted by some as an act of canonization for
Philomena, which it was not. The name of Philomena was never included in
the Roman Martyrology, the official list of saints recognized by the
Catholic Church.

Thomas Aquinas sought to make a distinction between philosophy and theology and then went on to explain that theological arguments or discourse were dependent upon starting points or principles that are held true on the basis of faith.

He espoused the metaphysical teachings of Aristotle, which were a change from the Augustinian tradition of the middle ages.
