Summary/Abstract: This work aims to formulate an important issue of contemporary philosophy of mathematics – Church’s thesis [CT] – by taking advantage of the richness of the conceptual system of St. Thomas’ philosophy and using its type of notions. The indicated aim was first tried to achieve through an in-depth analysis of Thomas’ definition of truth as “adaequatio rei et intellectus.” This analysis revealed a great wealth of underlying philosophical content and showed its nontriviality. The final result is an attempt to formulate Church’s thesis as a specific instance of Thomas’ definition of truth. The result of the work is ambiguous and therefore it constitutes a specific challenge for the supporters of Thomism to discuss this topic.
