He is best known- and it is a sort of one-volume Thomas Library- for the Summa Theologica, which is written in sort of a constitutional or legal-code style with such notations as Part One, Question 90, section, etc. That one deals with the ensoulment of women, which the Good Doctor ( of philosophy, he was not a Medical man) theorized it took 40 days ( lent, perhaps) to form the body and soul of a male, and 80 days ( maybne where Verne got his ideas from) to Ensoul a female body- true the woman"s body is more complicated than the male, and of course Eve came after Adam. The Summa Theologica is indeed the Theological summit- or Mountain Range- as it is really several books in one-and many years in the making!

One of the Catholic thinkers in the Middle Ages who wrote about the right to overthrow an unjust ruler was St. Thomas Aquinas. In his work "Summa Theologiae," Aquinas argued that if a ruler becomes a tyrant and abuses his power, the people have the right to resist and potentially overthrow him, as long as it is done for the common good and with the intention of restoring justice and order.
