His works have been the basis of thinking of the Catholic Church ever since he lived. They systematized her great thoughts and teaching, and combined Greek wisdom and scholarship methods with the truth of Christianity. Pope Leo VIII commanded that his teachings be studied by all theology students. He was proclaimed a Doctor of the Church in 1567.

An interesting side note. Thomas was a very large, obese man who spoke very little. In the seminary he earned the nick name of the "Dumb Ox."
