Okay, I'll call you "Giovanni." My surname is said to have originated in Venice. "Monica" was my mother's way of encouraging me to be a nun -- a fate from which I was saved by hearing impairment. 

I'm pretty fair at Lonerganian thought, but I can't think where he may have refuted Thomas on this subject. In his early works, he explicitly accepts it (cf. "Applying a Thomist Principle: Quidquid recipitur ad modum recipientis recipitur" by Br. Dunstan Robidoux OSB). In Method in Theology, he emphasizes the centrality of the subject in receiving revelation and developing theology. Since the man was brilliant, I have to think he would have agreed with me to the end.:)

I think we all internalize the gospel according to our uniqueness and, all too often, reduce it to our favorite issues and answers -- often in spite of what the tradition says.
