1996. How does St Thomas Aquinas define the natural law? (CCC 1955) St Thomas Aquinas († 1274) defines the natural law as the light of understanding placed in us by God at the creation through which we know what we must do and what we must avoid.

2125. Why has the Decalogue been revealed, although it is accessible to reason alone?
