Anyone with a basic catechesis who holds the Faith would read the quote from Toledo and instantly react that something is missing either in context, or interpretation, or perhaps it is a lie. We know that the Church is unchanging and that fornication is a sin. To state that the Church has condoned mortal sin is a form of blasphemy and has no place on a Catholic forum. In Catholic times, the poster would be silenced and given public penance for such nonsense instead of having a platform. Reading the passage as a condoning of present day mortal sin is reading Church history as a Protestant reads Scripture. He is already attached to his sin and will scour obscure sources for anything to justify himself. This poster has a pattern of such behavior, as well as an unwillingness to be corrected. Instead, he lashes out at truth with name-calling. For those who might be bothered by the passage he shared, the answer is quite simple, as Worlds Away already stated. The Council of Toledo was a regional council, not ecuмenical. The definition of concubinage under Roman law (the situation they were addressing) is quite different from what the word concubine came to mean in medieval times, id est, a mistress. So to use this passage as a proof that the Church allows fornicating with a mistress is the fallacy of equivocation. Under Roman law, a concubine was what would be the equivalent of a civil marriage today, but without rights to property or title. Usually, this was because the woman was from a lower class or even a slave. The Council is simply making it clear that the secular distinction of the time between wives and concubines doesn't matter. What matters is the union of one man and one woman. The lack of such basic knowledge of the nature of the Church, sin, as well as catechism and logic should preclude anyone from taking any of WWCSG's posts seriously.
