"To publish Catholic journals and place them in the hands of honest men is not enough. It is necessary to spread them as far as possible that they may be read by all, and especially by those whom Christian charity demands we should tear away from the poisonous sources of evil literature." –Pope St. Pius X

What did St. Thomas mean by "good nor bad" at the end?

I ended up reading this part of the Summa as inspired by the litany by St. Francis Borgia based on it. :)

No problem.

Quote from: St. Thomas AquinasReply to Objection 5: Since God's will is the cause of goodness in things, the goodness of one who is loved by God is to be reckoned according to the time when some good is to be given to him by divine goodness. According therefore to the time, when there is to be given by the divine will to the predestined sinner a greater good, the sinner is better; although according to some other time he is the worse; because even according to some time he is neither good nor bad.

There are several commentaries on the Summa Theologica in the St. Isidore e-book library which certainly would illuminate that arg. 5 / ad 5 you quote:
