Dr Anna Abram, Principal of the Margaret Beaufort Institute of Theology, speaks on 'Truth Matters' at this year's Aquinas lecture at Blackfriars Cambridge. Dr Abram asks us to ponder what truth is and what it means to us. She then explores the question of truthfulness, especially in the light of 'fake news' and 'alternative facts', before turning to some modern philosophies of truth, and then St Thomas Aquinas’ and Pope Francis’ writings on truth. She concludes with a funny and moving example from contemporary Poland.
