Wait, now you guys are going to claim the man you've been slandering as a fellow freethinker? LOL

Posting Aquinas quotes that make you uncomfortable would not be slander - you're accusation is telling...

Why so enthralled with Aquinas? There are many more writers who said even dumber things.

The official position from Holy Mother Church on women.

"Among all savage beasts, none is found so harmful as woman." St. John Chrysostom

"Any woman who acts in such a way that she cannot give birth to as many children as she is capable of, makes herself guilty of that many murders." St. Augustine

"Do you know that each of your women is an Eve? The sentence of God - on this sex of yours - lives in this age; the guilt must necessarily live, too. You are the gate of Hell, you are the temptress of the forbidden tree; you are the first deserter of the divine law." Tertullian

"Let us set our women folk on the road to goodness by teaching them to display submissiveness." "Every woman should be overwhelmed with shame at the thought that she is a woman." St. Clement of Alexandria
