Aristotle was Christian?

I don't think so but he must have been Catholic...Catholics turn to him and his ilk long before they turn to God in the scriptures for truth as can be seen in this thread...

Aristotle knew more about God through the light is his reason than most souls alive today. He did not have the benefit of Divine Revelation, which we enjoy today. Yet if you read his works, particularly his Meta-Physics, you will see how close he came to knowing and loving God. It is a visual thing, you have to read him. Just at the roads built by the pagan Romans paved the way for Christianity to spread to the entire civilized world, so also the philosophy of the Greeks predisposed the intellectual world for the full flowering of sacred theology, having the divine revelation of Jesus Christ as its foundation. As they say, “philosophy is the hand maid of theology”.
