Best Yes there is a strong relationship between Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics and what you call the "moral theory" of St. Thomas (Aquinas). They both agree that happiness is the ultimate good, or desired "end" (goal; end cause; a.k.a. "telos") of human beings. But as a moral dogmatic theologian, Aquinas goes beyond what Aristotle called "intellectual and moral virtue", as the most desireable "end" or goal for human beings, which makes humans most happy, to "speculating" on God's goodness, beauty and other attributes in eternity as the ultimate good (producing human happiness) for humans in a "beatific"/happy afterlife --- commonly known as seeing God in heaven.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
