Hmm, well, having read those two articles (thanks for that), that result looks pretty good.

Interesting to see how I've changed.  I have a feeling that some of Aquinas'... lesser enlightened thoughts were not taken into account, such as his view that heretics "deserve not only to be separated from the Church by excommunication, but also to be severed from the world by death".

I like the descriptions of his thoughts given by the SelectSmart site quite a bit, though.  Not all of it, though; for example, I don't like the statement, "Societies must enact laws to ensure the correct application of moral reasoning."
