St. Bonaventure is a doctor of the Catholic Church. Like some of the other medieval doctors such as Blessed Duns Scotis and St. Thomas Aquinas he has a nickname atatched to his title of "doctor"  he is the "Seraphic doctor" like his contemporary Aquinas was the "Angelic Doctor" and Scotis the "Subtle Doctor." His title "Seraphic Doctor" designates his emphasis on love (like the seraphim the "firey ones" who are consumed in the Divine love.) Like the Franciscan school in general (as distinct from the Dominican school and St. Thomas in particular, whose emphasis was on truth and the intelect,)Bonaventure emphasis was more on the affective side, on the will and love. Of course these two emphasis are not opposed but rather complement one annoter for the deepest truth of the Christ faith is that "God is Love" (which implies the Trinity) and man is called to "speak the truth in love," in his proclemation of the Gospel. The Church has emphasized the need to look at both of these Doctors, the "Angelic" and the "Seriphic," for a deeper understanding of her heart and mind in the examination of the deposite of faith. There are many variants in emphasis in these two doctors, and that will have to be brought out further.
