Why Is Andrew of Rhodes Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Andrew Chrysoberges, also called Andrew of Rhodes or Andrew of Colossus , was a Greek Dominican prelate and theologian. He was Greek by birth, and born to Eastern Orthodox parents. In early youth he had no opportunities for education, but afterwards devoted himself to Latin and Greek, and to theology, especially the questions in dispute between the Latin and Greek Churches. The study of the early Fathers, both Greek and Latin, convinced him that in the disputed points, truth was on the side of the Latin Church. He therefore converted from Orthodoxy to Catholicism, made a profession of faith, and entered the Dominican Order about the time of the Western Schism. He led thenceforth an apostolic life.
