I wouldn't be surprised. I came to St. Thomas via Aristotle and Rand. Obviously I don't agree with her atheism.

Slightly off topic but have you read the section wherein he pits Lewis (Abolition of Man) against Aquinas in Peter Kreeft's "Lewis for the Third Millenium"?

Could you point me to anything in Aquinas that describes the application of law to the pagans? For example, what his reaction would be to the Indian wars in Colonial America?

In this chapter he seems to assume that both sides have if not the same religion, then at least some cultural compatibility. For example, "sovereign" means the same thing for them.
