My position is that it shouldn't be officially discussed without the presence of at least an equal number of woman.

My cursory read of this makes me think that the original intent, according to Matthew, was the social and economical security of woman? That they should be provided for and not discarded at the whim of the husband. If that is the intent I think Vatican III can institute a more relevant solution.

If I can translate as a liberal guy: humans, please be cautious when you form casual sexual relationships, there can be a lot of consequences there you might not be ready for. We recommend that you form deep meaningful relationships that you can nurture and be nurtured by. How close am I? I...

No, uni ended last week, I'm on a break.

Very good, ol' Tommy boy, I'll just add this for us lazy readers. Notice the ratio of trials-execution of Germany and Rome?

Is the The Triumph of Christianity thread locked on purpose or is it a glitch for me?

My own view of the Enlightenment is not that it was counter religious in essence, but a shift in what and how things were explored. Going by your text, and the ending quote in particular, one would think that the Enlightenment didn't have any effect on society at all, and if it did, it was...

Two lynx acting out an average comment section on YouTube.

I look forward to taking my time with this thread. Thanks for your thurough posts, as usual!
