My husband values my mind and opinions so much that he paid for me to take part-time university courses throughout our marriage. He thinks of me as a highly intelligent and articulate person and that is one of the things he finds attractive about me.
I wasn't talking to you, so be quiet. My only reference to you was the implication that your husband might be telling you how to think on this subject ... and you did not object to that. Other comment to which you responded was not addressed to you, so stay out of it.
That "historical practice" argument is garbage. You'll find just as many husbands, and I would argue more, who would never dare lay a hand on their wives because of the Christian charity they have for them and the honor they hold them in. Just because you can find wife beaters everywhere in history, that doesn't prove anything. You'll also find murderers and thieves throughout all of history. You can find SOME writers who hold this opinion regarding wife-beating. Others are against it. So there's no probative value in this "historical practice" whatsoever, Ms. Logic 101.
False. Novus Ordo seminaries had the same crap logic classes that colleges did.
If J's husband is like mine, he is standing right besides her telling her exactly what to type. In other words, she is merely his secretary.
[...]One distinction between the honour given to parents and that given to a wife, is that honouring parents is one of the 10 Commandments. Another distinction is that a wife is subject to her husband, but parents are not subject to their children.
People in this thread have cited sources which hold corporal punishment to be permissible. Nobody on the other side has cited sources which support their position. So far, all we have seen is your assertion that there were people against it.
What authoritative Church teaching has been specifically cited, where it is clearly shown that a man may strike his wife?
There was a quote from St. Thomas and another from a moral theology manual. While neither of these is infallible, they are a good indication of what Catholics thought and did in the past.
That doesn't make it Church teaching.
Your point has been made and addressed earlier in the thread.
I will respond to you further, on one condition; show your digital "face" and identify yourself. Otherwise, enjoy typing at air.
You're an idiot.It's no wonder your wife left you.
The post made to Facebook today by the "Resistance" in favor of beating your wife is disgraceful.
