Höffe I 158
Thomas Aquinas/Höffe: (...) Thomas Aquinas' teaching is not undisputed (...): On March 7th, 1277, already three years after his death, Bishop Tempier of Paris condemns 219 theses, which also include Thomas Aquinas' teachings. Eleven days later, a similar condemnation is made in Oxford.
OckhamVsThomas Aquinas/DunsScotusVsThomas Aquinas/Meister EckartVsThomas Aquinas/Höffe: Later on there is a strong intellectual criticism, made by such astute theologians and philosophers as Johannes Duns Scotus (about 1266-1308), William of Ockham (about 1285-1349) and Meister Eckhart (about 1260-1328), who were admittedly condemned as heretical in some views by the church.

Canonization: Two generations after his death, on July 18, 1323, Thomas Aquinas is canonized by Pope John XXII. During the Counter-Reformation, in 1567, Pope Pius V raised him to the rank of Doctor of the Church (doctor ecclesiae and doctor communis).
In 1879, Pope Leo XIII proclaimed him the First Doctor of the Catholic Church and the following year he became the patron of all Catholic schools.
