Sir Thomas More (/mɔər/; 7 February 1478 – 6 July 1535), venerated by Roman Catholics as Saint Thomas More,[1][2] was an English lawyer, social philosopher, author, statesman and noted Renaissance humanist. He was also a councillor to Henry VIII, and Lord High Chancellor of England from October 1529 to 16 May 1532.[3] He also wrote Utopia, published in 1516, about the political system of an imaginary ideal island nation.

She was a courageous, pious woman who rallied France's hopes in a rather demoralizing time period.

And she was totally framed by the English for the heresy trial.

Not everybody has to write a Summa Theologica to be a saint.

Thomas Aquinas is pretty great.

I ended up using one of his meditations on the nature of ethics in a paper I was writing on ethical philosophy. I'm not even very religious; but it was a damned good argument. When asked to define good and evil Aquinas argued that mankind was created with a certain nature by God and that acting in accordance with that nature was good and acting against our nature was evil.

Catholics are too dichotomic in their way of thinking to be good thinkers. Proper thinkers are to be found within Islam.

His sermons on the Godhead are really good and meant for laypeople.

>My guess either they were lost by it and very impressed or they were strongly critical.

I argued that his position worked with or without the inclusion of a deity. Namely human beings have a nature which can be defined by empirical observation, in Aquinas' work that nature is dictated by God and thus acting in accordance with it is good because God created your nature and God is inherently good. I argued that the argument worked with or without God since empirical observations can allow us to make assertions regarding our nature. So for a simple example it would be bad to deprive someone of oxygen for extended periods of times because they require it by nature. I then got into some more complex arguments regarding the nature of human subjectivity and the means by which the individual will ascribes value to things.

Its been about 10 years; but as I recall it got a pretty good grade.
