I think St. Thomas Aquinas has a lot to contribute in regards to his theology and his Philosphical treatises. The Summa Theologica for me clears up a lot of questions I have about faith and his non-theological treatises such as the exhortation for governments to abide by Law to be fascinating. It's interesting that Aquinas's philosphy borrows heavily not just from traditional Christian scholasticism but from the Jews and the Arabs. (especially the Arabs on Law.)

I'll say FF, but I don't know much of his opinion on Jews.

He doesn't mind you, and feels regret at the suffering you will endure in Purgatory or Hell

FF, though the church did some funny stuff with his teachings a few centuries after his death.

He did one thing when his testosterone count was high, and another when it was low (Tolstoy decided sex was "bad" at 83 years of age). I have other reasons to dislike him, but in a senior moment, I forget what they were!

Perhaps this.
Horrible person, of course.
