Do you have a source for this? In my reading of history I haven’t seen evidence of this. In fact the gospel of Thomas is a pretty recent discovery. There were many gnostic writing but there was never any contention that these writings were part of the Christian Scripture; in fact this was one of the key claims of the Gnostics, that they had a revelation special to them that was kept from the church as a whole. So there was never any debate to include the gospel of Thomas in the canon. I recommend a couple of resources to you:
