Is Communion "better" in the Catholic Church

[ConstantineTG]

However, an Eastern Orthodox priest told me that St. Thomas Aquinas is a heretic and generally all Catholics are heretics. According to him, Catholics are heretics because they hold heretical views on the filioque, on papal infallibility, on papal supremacy, and Catholics are wrong other issues such as divorce, and the distinction between NFP and ABC, on Purgatory, and others. This is from the Eastern Orthodox POV according to what I was told.

I am not aware of any Orthodox council that has condemned St. Thomas Aquinas as a heretic. To be a heretic is to teach false teaching and pass if off as Orthodox. Since Thomas Aquinas belonged to the post-schism Roman Church, his teachings were never taught within the Orthodox Church, therefore his teachings are not something that can be condemned as heresy.
