I believe you are correct. I am relying on, then Cardinal Ratzinger’s reference in “In the Beginning” 1995 edition augmented with the appendix entitled, The Consequences of Faith in Creation. The first page of the appendix notes that G.K. Chesterton who “was often blessed with a gift of a striking turn of phrase” reffed to Aquinas as “Thomas of the Creator”. Apparently the appendix was first published in 1979 in German as Konsequnzen des Schopfungsglaubens. My competency in the German language is very minimal. It is only due to reading a significant amount of Joseph Ratzinger that I am familiar with some important German phrases. I believe you and I shared a few emails approximately 10 years ago. In an early version of your publications on natural science and Catholic Faith you extolled the inspiring work of Fr Stanley Jaki. I too have been significantly influenced by his writings as well. After reading his “Science and Creation” in 1974 I was inspired to complete an interdisciplinary M.A. on the “Origins of Early Modern Science in Western Europe During the Middle Ages”, the title of my Dissertation of some 275 pages. If possible I would like to correspond with you once again. In the past 35 years my work has shifted into the Theology of Creation and Human Evolution in the context of the Great Catholic Tradition. My focus has been to explore contemporary Scientific Human Prehistory and the Theology of Pope Benedict XVI. Let me know what you think. Sincerely, in the Risen One ☦️
I thought your name looked familiar. Congratulations on your dissertation and M.A. That is a fascinating topic. Yes, please feel free to email me. My email hasn't changed in 20+ years, stacytrasancos@msn.com. Like you, one reason I want to get underneath the philosophy of matter is to perhaps then see a way to understand evolution better. Good to hear from you again, Richard!
Never mind. Dumb on me. I should have read the attached article before I reacted, rather responding thoughtfully. ☦️🛐☦️
Funny! But did I get it right? Chesterton is the first mention I can find, but you never know if there's was someone before.

Ah ha! Now, who was it coined that name? I do suspect you know. ☦️🛐☦️
