Aquinas did NOT believe in the Immaculate Conception. That of course does not mean that he would not have accepted it and been obedient to the Church after it became a dogma but that was well past his lifetime.

Let me quote you **his own words **from his Catechetical Instructions on the Virtues of the Blessed Virgin:

QUOTE

Christ excelled the Blessed Virgin in this, that he was conceived and born without original sin, while the Blessed Virgin was conceived in original sin, but was not born in it.

Yes, yes yes. I had already conceded this point in post #17.
 
I may be wrong about this one so feel free to correct me but a similarity between the two is that neither of them knew Hebrew and didn’t know Greek very well and so relied on Latin translations for their works.
