Thomas Aquinas 3

…

…canonized a saint in 1323, officially named doctor of the church in 1567, and proclaimed the protagonist of orthodoxy during the modernist crisis at the end of the 19th century. All of these accomplishments can not take away the historical difficulties in which he faced in the 13th century, during the radical theological renewal. At the time this renewal was contested but still brought about by the social, religious and cultural evolution of the West (Internet, trading, 4).
