Objection 1: It would seem the Angelic Doctor is never wrong, because I really like him.
Objection 2: Further, everything I’ve read by him so far is right.
Objection 3: Further, the Church says he’s a really cool guy.
On the Contrary: St. Thomas Aquinas falsely claims that the argument of Objection 6 is not demonstrative in Article 2 of Question [...]

A strange eccentricity often haunts the minds of Catholic intellectuals. These rare, strange individuals constitute what I like to call The Catholic Hall of Weirdness.
