Almost No Aquinas

This was an introduction into theology, not Thomas Aquinas’ Summa Theological. As such it was simple and not very useful. As an intro to Aquinas it was worthless.

AI

This was ready by an AI. I didn't know that until having completed it. I strongly condemn not involving a professional voice artist.

Not about the Summa Theologica

In spite of the intro, the contents of the book have nothing (I do mean nothing) to do with Aquinas or his book. instead, it is a meaty type of catechism for the Catholic faith, and references "many faith traditions" and post-scholastic scholars such as Martin Luther. If you want a well rounded introduction to the fundamentals of the Catholic faith, then listen away. If you wanted to learn about Aquinas and his magnum opus, join me in looking elsewhere.

The generated voice was okay, not particularly good, and quite choppy

70% Good / 30% Misleading

Was this commentary written by A.I.? The title is deceptive; this is not Summa Theologica. It sounds like someone's attempt to inject DEI and Left-leaning politics into Catholic theology by using AI assistance.
From a Christian theological perspective, it does not make sense for the author to promote Islamic preachers, a divine "Greater Good," or a number of other ideas contrary to the Bible.
There are a few good ideas in this, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who is not educated enough to sift out the garbage mingled with the good.
