What ridiculous nonsense but a good dissertation nonetheless.

The official position of the church regarding Aristotle is, as follows:

The greatest of heathen Philosophers, born at Stagira, a Grecian colony in the Thracian peninsula Chalcidice, 384 B.C.; died at Chalcis, in Euboea, 322 B.C.

newadvent.org

Heathen An unconverted member of a people or nation that does not acknowledge the God of the Bible.

Aquinas used Aristotle in a way he probably would not agree with, i.e. using the most advanced mind of ancient times to prop up a superstitious cult built around original sin.
