Aquinas didn't expend much effort discrediting parts of Aristotelean thought which are invalid. In the years to follow, the teachings of Aristotle became elevated to that of scripture and orthodoxy. Although not writing something is not equivalent to cause, nor do I believe Aquinas elevated Arisotle to the level of scripture, this is one of the only criticisms of Aquinas which I believe has some validity.

I've heard this criticism of Aquinas and the allegation that Aristotle had been elevated to the status of scripture and orthodoxy, FreedomProtector. I can agree with the first part; yet I can't say I've seen any evidence to support the second assertion. So much is "in the eye of the beholder," I gather.

Thank you for your wonderful contributions to this discussion!
