Maybe?

So apparently in that new biography of St. Thomas Aquinas, Prudlo diagnoses him with Asperger’s.

Yes, That Is What St. Thomas Claims

But is that correct? Was recapitulation a choice? Or was suffering necessary for the New Creation?

Aquinas argues that God could have saved the world by other means, yet He chose to redeem us through suffering for many reasons; one of them being that His suffering teaches us the gravity of human sin & the intensity of divine love.

De Sortibus

Holy Thomas of Aquino, pray for us!

On this Feast of St Thomas Aquinas we can celebrate the publication of a short work of his, appearing in print in English for the 1st time: 'De Sortibus' - On the Casting of Lots - translated by the Revd Dr Peter Carey. It's a fascinating little treatise. https://t.co/LtDtD2sFJc

Reason and Theology: Dr. Matthew Minerd Lecture on the Prima Pars of Thomas Aquinas's Summa Theologiae

How Theology Should Be Done?

1) Be careful what you wish for

2) If done well, though, this would absolutely slap

3) I am v sympathetic to Stump’s view that Aquinas saw his Scriptural commentaries as the pinnacle of his theology—from first to last, a Master of the Sacred Page https://t.co/pKiCqWQj5Q

Aquinas on Conscience

This is a stunning research uncovering and correcting a longstanding (and mostly Jesuit) misreading of Aquinas on conscience. I wonder if @americamag would be willing to publish an essay by Justin Anderson summarizing his research?

Important information, and important formation. https://t.co/67nas8Nlz1

The Public Discourse

"Victim"

Therefore Christ Himself, as man, was not only priest, but also a perfect victim, being at the same time victim for sin, victim for a peace-offering, and a holocaust."

Etymoline:

victim (n.)

late 15c., "living creature killed and offered as a sacrifice to a deity or supernatural power, or in the performance of a religious rite;" from Latin victima "sacrificial animal; person or animal killed as a sacrifice," a word of uncertain origin. Perhaps related to vicis "turn, occasion" (as in vicarious), if the notion is an "exchange" with the gods. Perhaps distantly connected to Old English wig "idol," Gothic weihs "holy," German weihen "consecrate" (compare Weihnachten "Christmas") on notion of "a consecrated animal."
Sense of "person who is hurt, tortured, or killed by another" is recorded from 1650s; meaning "person oppressed by some power or situation, person ruined or greatly injured or made to suffer in the pursuit of an object, or for the gratification of a passion or infatuation, or from disease or disaster" is from 1718. Weaker sense of "person taken advantage of, one who is cheated or duped" is recorded from 1781.

U. Pitt Keywords Project:

Keyword: Victim

Victim is an important word because it links often traumatic personal or group experiences in contemporary societies to frameworks that understand such experiences and respond to them through public policy, political advocacy, and in wider public debate. The etymology of victim is straightforward: the word comes from Latin victima. Its first sense is that of a sacrificial offering, and this strong sense is made stronger by the identification of the sacrificial offering and thus the victim as Christ. By C17, however, it has developed the more general meaning “a person who is put to death or subjected to torture by another; one who suffers severely in body or property through cruel or oppressive treatment.” These strong meanings developed into a general sense of a passive recipient of misfortune. While in earlier uses such misfortune has been regarded as individual or random, there has been a concerted attempt in recent years to use the word as a route to political empowerment as the status of victim becomes structural. Governments have also chosen to endow victims with an active role in addressing their misfortune; this is most evident in some criminal justice systems, where the issue then arises of whether such victims have been given a power to override not only the rights of offenders but also the ability of the state itself to administer justice.

Most of the things that Thomas deals with whether by way of the question or other methods are quite complicated. But Thomas sees no point in making complicated matters more complicated.
