Except it hasn't. Most of what is being said is repackaged old ideas, but not all of it. Take Quantum Mechanics and other scientific discoveries, although genuinely important new ideas haven't been limited to science.

This is a probably for the type of theologian who thinks everything important can be found in the works of St. Thomas Aquinas. While Thomas was a brilliant man, this people with this attitude tend to end up not being good at dealing with ideas developed since Thomas's days. While individual Thomists might be better or worse at dealing with this or that development according to what other things they happen to have learned along the way. These tend to be idiosyncratic to the particular theologian and in any case don't fit into a unified whole with Thomas's actual philosophy.
