[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But you haven’t established #1 at all (or even tried to — you seem to not really know what you think)... so no, it does not invalidate the logic of today’s announcement.  [/quote]

I haven't even attempted to establish #1 on this thread yet.  All of the back and forth so far has been on the premise that, according to Aquinas, if non-procreative sex is a good, then it is not sinful.  And I am talking to a bunch of (apparently) lifelong Catholics who never managed to read Aquinas, so it's going very slowly.  At my Catholic high school we got drilled on Aquinas.  I guess times have changed...[/quote]

What a snob you are.  As I lifelong Catholic, I e been to Mass over 2000 times, attended 12 years of CCD, received 4 Holy Sacraments, and taught 3 years.  In none of that did I ever read Aquinas—so apparently the Church didn’t think it was essential to my life as a Catholic.  [/quote]

He's literally the most important theologian in Catholic history, cited by every pope in your lifetime an in dozens of papal encyclicals as important as Rerum Novarum, Gaudium et Spes, Quadrogesimo Anno, and more. You know, the stuff that decides what goes in your catechism.

but hey, here's your catechism.  Which I bet you haven't read in 20 years, either.  It's been revised.  [/quote]
