This is the epitome of how a woman argues:
1. The above phrases (in parenthesis) have not been argued by anyone on CI, specifically, but LT inserts them into the argument to gain "popular" support, much like the modern media.
2. LT doesn't argue like a man, rationally, but repeatedly inserts ideas and "buzz words" which he knows will cause an emotional agreement with his cause. Another modern media tactic.
3. LT refuses to acknowledge the logic of moral theologians on the issue and also is in capable of distinguishing between 'allowance' and 'encouragement'.
4. etc, etc. One could write a 10 page essay of the lack of logic and rationality in LT's posts. I trust him as much as I trust a novus ordo bishop. He has lost all integrity in my eyes.
It's apparent that his own personal experiences with worldliness before his conversion back to the Faith really damaged his view of these things. And then his zeal has blinded him to anything of careful nuance regarding the subject, as he himself admitted. It's one thing to impose a law on one's family for their protection, which is admirable; but another thing entirely to expect it from all other Catholics and then shame them for such.
It kind of reminds me of what someone else mentioned earlier about the American view of alcohol as just a means to get drunk; which was my wife's precise reaction when I was attempting (and failing) the beer fast this Lent. When, as we know, there are varying degrees of acceptable alcohol usage.
