Yes. He's the patron saint of teachers everywhere and his Summa Theologica is often talked about among people who know the faith well

"Now God knows all contingent things not only as they are in their causes, but also as each
one of them is actually in itself. And although contingent things become actual successively,
nevertheless God knows contingent things not successively, as they are in their own being,
as we do; but simultaneously. The reason is because his knowledge is measured by eternity,
as is also His being; and eternity being simultaneously whole comprises all time, as said above. Hence, all things that are in time are present to God from eternity, not
only because He has the types of things present within him, as some say; but because His glance is carried from eternity over all things as they are in their presentiality.

he is literally a doctor of the Church

Whenever I think of a question that has to do with philosophy or theology he's the first person that comes to mind to find the answer

Aquinas was the first guy to call out Islam for what it really is. A false religion. He considered it a heresy of Christianity that was being used to support Muhammad and other Arab mudshit warlords as justification for robbing silk road caravans.

Aquinas is forgotten today by most because the revisionist in the academic world don't want him published in history because of this.

He's know as "the doctor" or "the scholar". You tell me.
