DYK #ThomasAquinas (d. 1274) had limitations as a scholar: he taught #BirthControl, #SoloSex, #QueerSex & #bestiality were worse sins than #rape because they can’t make babies—breaking “Natural Law”—the idea that all animals marry! Still doctrine! Blog7 HowSexGotScrewedUp.com

DYK only one position was tolerated for coitus in the 13thC? #ThomasAquinas & the Vatican decreed that the only allowed sex was the #MissionaryPosition for vaginal intercourse in marriage. A man had to lie, face-to-face, on top of his wife—& only when pregnancy was possible.

In his latest, @trbutler says, "A controversy at a #Christian publication this week gives us an unusual twist on the #AI debate. The great medieval theologian #ThomasAquinas and #SelfDriving cars now have something in common."

#ThomasAquinas: "A #tyrant oppresses the bodies of his subjects, but what is more damnable, he threatens their spiritual growth, for he is set on his own power, not their progress. He is suspicious of any dignity they may possess that will prejudice his own iniquitous domination." bit.ly/4yq4dk7
