Thomas Aquinas was an Italian Dominican friar and priest, theologian, and philosopher. He developed Thomism, a school of thought encompassing theology and philosophy, and sought to synthesize Aristotelian philosophy with Christian principles. His best-known unfinished work is the Summa Theologiae, a comprehensive guide to Catholic theology. His ideas include the Five Ways for proving God's existence, virtue ethics, and sacramental theology. He was canonized by Pope John XXII in 1323.
