        Can you explain?

        Edit: also I only know the name St Augustine of Hippo from The Simpsons.

          Augustine was a convert to Catholicism from polytheism, which gave him a unique perspective. He was known for his wit in his writings and philosophizing.

          Thomas Aquinas was something like a proto-scientist, very interested in ideas of natural law. His work is influential but also super super dry.
