Angelic Doctor

Before he was called a Doctor of the Church (1567) and before he was even canonized (1323), Brother Thomas of Aquino (1225-1274) was popularly called at the University of Paris, the "Common Doctor." The reason is that he held a breadth of knowledge, especially in Theology, and was already respected as a universal teacher (docere - to teach). The title "Angelic Doctor" ("Doctor angelicus") was attributed to St. Thomas only afterward by St. Antoninus in the mid 1400s. I think there are at least two reasons why he is called "angelic.""Gaston LeNotre, I've written, taught, and studied Aquinas for 10+ years.Updated February 1, 2018" Quora.com.
