The council fathers at Trent placed Saint Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologica on the altar during their deliberations. Do you somehow think your theological reasoning is superior to Saint Thomas Aquinas?
The Church also teaches that St. Thomas and St. Augustine do not constitute the Church, exclusive of Church. Believing them to the point of contradiction of Catholic teaching also brings anathema.
I'm not trying to correct St. Thomas. I do think the passage of time has provided greater perspective; which brings to mind a passage in Scripture:
Matthew 13:17 For, amen, I say to you, many prophets and just men have desired to see the things that you see, and have not seen them, and to hear the things that you hear and have not heard them.
I take great care to consider why St. Thomas said the things he did about bod, but the answer always comes back to the Words of Christ. Water and the Holy Spirit or anathema. It is not possible for Christ to err, but St. Thomas can. No doubt the fullness of the damage of believing bod was not obvious to St. Thomas perhaps because that particular error was a germ of an idea intended to be congenial to God. I'm guessing that of course, I do not actually know. What I do know is that bod is makes Catholics lax and cold hearted. Most Catholics can't be bothered to get out of their Lazy Boy long enough to assist someone to get Baptism because they "believe in their hearts" that God will mercifully give the good people bod.
