He architected many of the more egregious and problematic beliefs of the time into the emerging Christian Church; however, in this particular case (and the notion of what constitutes a Just War) he's well reasoned. The Jesuits and Augustinian orders are also fairly well aligned in their notion that logical soundness, even more than faith, is important in establishing the authority of the church. This contrasts with the Dominicans who tend to be more focused on orthodoxy of belief.
