Theology not being my strong suit, I haven't read much St. Aquinas, but the fruit of his work was fantastic. Always a good sign. I like that he recommended the Church reduce Jewry to chattel slavery. He also wrote that masturbation is a graver sin than rape, because you're not using your body in a way which God intended it to be used.  It shocked me at the time, being raised in a liberal feminist home, but it makes complete sense.

It's enough for us Catholics that the Church has canonized him and declared him a Doctor of the Church and regularly endorsed and praised him in the Magisterium.  Was he infallible?  No.  Is it permitted for Catholics to respectfully disagree with one or another position of his?  Certainly.  But to hold him in contempt and refuse to call him a saint?  That's diabolical.  It's like I was seeing the devil in PG's posts.  And his contempt for St. Louis de Montfort almost bled over to the point where it sounded like he was blaspheming Our Lady.

Thank you, Matthew.  I was getting very tired of seeing him spew venom against St. Louis de Montfort and St. Thomas Aquinas.  I could even tolerate someone respectfully disagreeing with the True Devotion.  But it crosses a line when they hold these two great saints in contempt.

As another sign of PG's incredible pride, he just started studying Aristotle and immediately ripped him apart for all his errors ... which in point of fact, from the standpoint of natural philosophy, were relatively few and far between.

What about people who prefer St. Bonaventure to St. Thomas on philosophy?😀

You can have your personal preference. but that is not the issue here. According to Matthew:


Quote
PG has made his vocal opinion very clear, namely: that he doesn't consider St. Thomas Aquinas or St. Louis de Montfort to be saints. This is not an acceptable position or belief for a Catholic in good standing.

Is it acceptable to argue with saints' opinions while not doubting that they are saints? For example, taking Scotus' side over Aquinas' in the Immaculate Conception debate prior to the 1854 official dogma?

EDIT: This is a general question; no comment on the ban of a user I never met.
