Thomas Aquinas was an Italian priest in the Roman Catholic Church in the 1200s. He was a very significant figure in history as a philosopher/theologian in scholasticism (method of learning taught by academics). He published many influential works, the most widely-known of which is the Summa Theologica ("greatest theology" in Latin). His ideas had a huge influence on Western thought in areas such as ethics, natural law, and political theory. He was one of the 33 Doctors of the Catholic Church and is generally considered by such to be a model teacher, and the greatest theologian & philosopher in the Church.
