      The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical reader's head. There's also Aquinas' nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Thomas Aquinas truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Tom's existencial catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as the Angelic Doctor's genius unfolds itself inside their philosophy textbooks. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Thomas Aquinas tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

      He did not consider masturbation worse than homosexuality and bestiality. He just considered them all sins against God.

      > [In Aquinas's view], Because sins against nature were sins against God, they were considered more serious than sins against other people, such as adultery, seduction, and rape (John F. Schumaker, Religion and Mental Health [Oxford University Press US], 1992), 76). To make his point perfectly clear, Aquinas poses a question: are not rape and adultery worse than unnatural acts, since they harm other persons, while consensual sins against nature do not? The answer is unequivocal: the four non-procreative forms of sex are worse, since–though not harmful to others–they are sins directly against God himself as the creator of nature. According to this logic, rape, which may at least lead to pregnancy, becomes a less serious sin than masturbation (Louis Crompton, Homosexuality and Civilisation, [Harvard University Press, 2006], 188).

      "A practice opposed to the pattern set for us by nature" exceeds in wickedness the seduction of an innocent of the opposite sex, adultery, and rape (II-II 154:12) (Sex from Plato to Paglia, by Alan Soble [Greenwood Publishing Group, 2006], 1053).

      I actually like this. I hate liberal pagancucks like you who put consent above everything. The reason why LGBT and all that shit is so prevalent today is because consent won the moral argument.

          In the marital act, a man and a woman become, as it were, co-workers with God in creating a new human soul, made in the image and likeness of God, which will live forever. As such, it is a sacred act.

          However, our desires have been knocked all out of true by the Fall, and in particular, and in some special way, our sexual desires.

          A man's erection, and the act of ejaculation have a distinct teleological purpose -- to plant the seed, and create new life.

          This is a God-given ability, not a chance byproduct of evolutionary processes. When used contrary to that purpose, it is, accordingly, a grave sin. In the case of sodomy, it is an especially perverse action -- almost a mockery of the marital act. In the case of masturbation, it imposes psychological damage -- the sin becomes its own punishment, as it were, in the way it becomes compulsive, and traps the mind in a debilitating, unreal world of impossible sexual fantasy.

            >masturbation, it imposes psychological damage
            It doesn't just damage you, it damages the family as well. My grandfather made porn for the mob back in the 70s. My parents were also porn addicts, due to their parents' lives. They left a vhs in the vcr and I accidentally pressed the play button when I went to watch Saturday morning cartoons when I was six. I've struggled with this damage and the resulting vice since I was in 6th grade thanks to them and this demonic presence they invited into the home and thus my life. I've forgiven them, but it still hurts that they allowed this to happen to me through their carelessness. I've been porn-free for a few years, but once or twice a year I've given in to the "unclean vice," even after coming back to the Church.

            >traps the mind in a debilitating, unreal world of impossible sexual fantasy
            Yes, I escape there where I'm lonely. Not necessarily sexual anymore, but just imagining my crush there with me, cuddling or whatever. I'm getting better at telling myself "no" as soon as I start, but I've done it for so long now, that it's deeply ingrained and very difficult. I don't even realize I'm doing it until after I start the fantasy.

            I thank God every morning for granting me the grace of knowledge of my faults and the wisdom to understand how to change. I'm the only Catholic left in my family, the ones on my mother's side all apostatized. My father's side was protestarded. It makes it harder because I have no real temporal support. It also doesn't help that I'm a woman, these types of sins seem more taboo for us.

            It is abusive and it's what Jesus himself taught about lustful thoughts as adultery. Ever go through a divorce for the kids, money, just different personalities that don't jive? Jesus taught it's only ok to divorce in cases of adultery which again according to Jesus, includes even just having sexual thoughts about anybody than your spouse.
            I mean for someone who claimed only one sin can justify divorce it's a pretty fricking broad definition that would cause every marriage to dissolve.

            >institution of dominance
            I used to be a raging radical feminist, and before that, a liberal feminist. I know all your arguments regardless of which side you're on. I've read all the literature, from Wollstonecraft to ~~*Dworkin*~~ to studying the archives of the Red Stockings. Coincidentally, it was a self-confessed troony and "feminist", Camille Paglia, who sparked the light of reason about that whole "domination" argument, specifically regarding rape.

            I got black-out drunk in college and ended up fornicating with a guy whom I wouldn't have chosen to fornicate with had I been sober. He told me I could sleep in his room and I woke up to him fondling me. I did not tell him to stop and continued. When I asked my feminist friends why I felt like it was my fault for putting myself in that situation (i.e. loss of reason around a bunch of men, with no man there to protect me or tell me not to do such a stupid thing), they said it wasn't my fault and that he raped me, despite me knowing that I could have chosen to not get black-out drunk around a bunch of men who are physically stronger than me and looking to get laid. I then found Camille's work and she made this same point when criticizing "date rape" in one of her essays. All of my feminist reasoning and hatred of men started to break down after that.

            You just like to think of yourself as a victim and actually remove personal agency from women in the process. It's actual the least empowering philosophy you could argue in terms of respecting women. The Catholic Church actually protected women's innocence and femininity by placing high value on virginity and marriage. This protected women from evil men, whereas you want to open them up to every form of debauchery and debasement.

            Femanon, the past is the past. My situation is a little different as a guy but I get where you're coming from as its something I've struggled/struggle with too. My advice is don't worry too much about your past - He won't send you a partner that can't forgive it.

            Also, with regard to prayer, may I recommend a chotki, or the Jesus Christ Prayer in general? Personally I find it very comforting even moreso than the rosary, please don't hurt me anons, and the simplicity of it, for me at least, means its easier to rush to when I need to pull my mind from something else.

            I actually do 33 Jesus Prayers sometimes during adoration, but I will look into getting one. When I need something quick or can't do the rosary (which I definitely should do more often), I repeat the St. Michael Prayer or sing the Credo. Also meditating on our Lord's Passion helps; when I feel lonely, I imagine I'm with Him on the cross, when I get the urge to feel pleasure, I imagine him being given gall to quench his thirst. Visualizing Him going through all of those stages of His Passion brings me to tears of his love for us and helps to remind me of our final end. God bless, anon, Kyrie Eleison.

            I should spend more time on the Passion, actually. Thank you. Tangentially related, I have found that some meditation on death and mortality each day helps, too. It is both motivating and comforting. When I am feeloing down it is a reminder that there is limited time to do the things I wish to do - see various things, have various experiences, so on and so on. And so I must get on and do them. All of that though must be tempered with the knowledge that when its time to get off the ride, I have no say in the matter, and I *will* be removed. And thus I must behave accordingly.

            Regarding relationships, I would remind you to keep yourself open. That is not to say bat eyelashes at every guy that isn't wearing a "X SEMINARY CLASS OF 202X" shirt, but do make sure others at least have some opportunity to say hello. As a man, it can be difficult sometimes to tell if a woman is interested or simply just a sort of bubbly personality. It takes, to mix idoms, two to tango, but leave room for Jesus.

        I get where he is coming from but that is still a really sperglord take on ethics holy shit.

        I would argue he is a fricking dumbass because he does not go into the psychological consequences of rape in that women might end up doing more harm to society and their children. A society of damaged people who are not helped are likely going to engage in sins because they see that the perpetrators are not being punished.

        Honestly I know masturbation is bad but sometimes ill just do it to get to sleep. Not to mention the israelites fricking lied and said regular masturbation was fine and prevented cancer. I blame god for not protecting me from the lies of the israelites and leading me into dependance.

        Where was god when I was forced against my will into a israelite dominated culture and education system to be programmed with unhealthy habits?

        I would argue theology and advice from people not from 2010 or later is almost completely useless because the government was weaponized neuroscience and mind control technology.

        Rape is worse than masturbation because it is an act of violence

      • 2 years ago

        I understand where he is coming from.

        In the marital act, a man and a woman become, as it were, co-workers with God in creating a new human soul, made in the image and likeness of God, which will live forever. As such, it is a sacred act.

        However, our desires have been knocked all out of true by the Fall, and in particular, and in some special way, our sexual desires.

        A man's erection, and the act of ejaculation have a distinct teleological purpose -- to plant the seed, and create new life.

        This is a God-given ability, not a chance byproduct of evolutionary processes. When used contrary to that purpose, it is, accordingly, a grave sin. In the case of sodomy, it is an especially perverse action -- almost a mockery of the marital act. In the case of masturbation, it imposes psychological damage -- the sin becomes its own punishment, as it were, in the way it becomes compulsive, and traps the mind in a debilitating, unreal world of impossible sexual fantasy.

        Good post. The teleological argument seems very convincing to me.

        >In the case of sodomy, it is an especially perverse action -- almost a mockery of the marital act.
        This also makes sense and is a very strong argument against sodomy. I think I've finally understood it. It is a literal satanic inversion of regular sexual intercourse between a male and a female, the complete opposite in all aspects and a rejection of the natural order. Once you understand it this way, it's hard to see it as anything else actually. This is exactly how the great antagonist force operates, it fits the pattern.

          Nature in this context is what is in accordance with creation. Man was created with the power to overcome sin, so sinning means you are betraying your true nature, which is to live according to the Word of God.
