[ @27 + @497 ] : Thomas Aquinas maintains that a human is a single material substance. He understands the soul as the form of the body, which makes a human being the composite of the two.

Thomas Aqainus, who said its not crimes to kill heretics? Sorry that is garbage that the priests read to the mafia so they feel better about all the robbing and killing they do.

There are many things for which one could judge Aquinas negatively. That being said, the Summa is merely synthesizing Aristotelian philosophy with Catholic theology. If that is not a topic one was interested in, it should be avoided.

One would think I'm Catholic for how much I have read Aquinas and the multitudes of Catholic mystics, but they would be wrong.
