St. Thomas and Bede

I believe that St. Thomas Aquinas and Venerable Bede would have spoken about Medieval Europe, the Catholic Church, and Miracles. I believe these two gentleman could spend days speaking to each other without a break. Venerable Bede would most likely ask most of the questions since St. Thomas Aquinas is able to study the past or history of what Bede has already written. I believe St. Thomas would probably ask Bede a few questions about what Bede had experienced and what life was like during that time period. Bede would probably inquire about St. Thomas’s five proofs that god exists, not that Bede would doubt god’s existence but for proper scientific method. I am sure most of the time would be spent inquiring about the Catholic Church. Many words would be spoken between the two about the history and personal experience within the church. St. Thomas Aquinas had a great interest in the metaphysical which I am sure Bede would also have an interest in documenting.
