As John Henry Newman said, ten thousand difficulties do not make for one doubt.

One way to understand the Summa theologiae is to say that Thomas Aquinas provides us not only a book, but an extensive curriculum into a variety of resolutions of a multitude of difficulties in Scripture and Tradition. And his resolutions, as well as the different ways he resolves questions and difficulties in faith, help us to understand some of the most fundamental truths of all. But despite the many questions and difficulties and complexities of theology, the point of it all remains simple. The point is to know the God revealed to us in Jesus Christ, and to know and love him more and more and enjoy him in eternity.
