>Why did Catholics coom over Aristotle so hard when Plato and the Neoplatonists were superior in every way?

Augustine followed Plato and the Neoplatonists. Although Aquinas became dominant at a certain point, there has always been a strong Augustinian tradition in the Church. For example, Ratzinger/Pope Benedict is an Augustinian. (Another school is that of Bonaventure/Scotus and the Franciscans, whose approach can most readily be harmonized with the Eastern Orthodox Palamite tradition.)
