Saint Thomas Aquinas was an Italian Dominican friar, Catholic priest, and Doctor of the Church. He was an immensely influential philosopher, theologian, and jurist in the tradition of scholasticism, within which he is also known as the Doctor Angelicus and the Doctor Communis.

He was the foremost classical proponent of natural theology and the father of Thomism; of which he argued that reason is found in God.

Pope Benedict XV declared: This Order ... acquired new luster when the Church declared the teaching of Thomas to be her own and that Doctor, honored with the special praises of the Pontiffs, the master and patron of Catholic schools. The English philosopher Anthony Kenny considers Thomas to be one of the dozen greatest philosophers of the western world.
