Ahistorical? What of historicism?

[Kephapaulos]

The neomodernists accused Thomism of being ahistorical, but is this a strawman argument? Would it not be actually ahistorical in the sense of viewing the faith as unchanging throughout history? Perhaps this is to do with the modernist notion of conforming the faith to the spirit of the age that involves changing its substance in its application.

Can the historicocritical method ever be used? Or is historicism different from looking at events in their historical context?

What are good books to read about the above? I imagine The Essence and Topicality of Thomism says something about these things.

[Geremia]

is historicism different from looking at events in their historical context?

Pascendi §§29ff. deal with "The Modernist as Historian and Critic".
