Theological Thought says Heidegger got Aristotle wrong:
The finitude of man (which I affirm) is not rooted in any limitations in being human (as Nietzsche and Heidegger supposed), but in the always partial disclosure of Being within any period of time (which Aristotle and Aquinas supposed).
...
Heidegger misread Aristotle as conflating Being and being as it is historically revealed in classical Greece. (Hence the "metaphysics of presence" that Heidegger lectured against.) A closer reading of Aristotle, as one finds in MacIntyre for example, reveals that Aristotle knew that Being was only partially manifested within history.
