I'm having a very difficult time with all of this, and I'm starting to think it's better that I don't even think about it. :-(Julienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213316015209503694.post-36669805688697922102011-01-08T16:18:02.270-06:002011-01-08T16:18:02.270-06:00RT, I understand your concerns about polygenism in...RT, I understand your concerns about polygenism in general and the dissolution of associated theological philosophical positions in particular. There are some in the Church that have to develop a stronger methodology against the "perils" of modern fertility and sexuality. The tendency to repeat quotations from HV and TOTB in a mantric fashion must be avoided. <br /><br />Everyone plays unfairly on this "intellectual playground". Notice how neo-con/theologically conservative media outlets tend to fall back on logical fallacies or persecution complexes when complex secular philosophical-theological arguments over pelvic issues require a more thorough response. Rarely will you hear reasoned arguments about the biological genesis of human beings as a prolegomenon to pelvic hot issues. The neo-Caths will gladly dish out endless pablum about why many sexual activites and moral positions "are just WRONG." "It's just wrong" is not an argument. "Teh gheyz/NOW/the Pill/public school sex ed are out to destroy the rights of the Church" is not an argument. This is why secular or progressive Catholics with heads on their shoulders can run circles around conservatives who bang their heads against the playground walls of "proper" Catholic discourse. I don't see conservative Catholic media fronting compelling arguments that earnestly defend monogenism on a purely philosophical basis. Until then, welcome to the theo-philosophical anarchist's playground.sortacatholicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213316015209503694.post-961158223388733792011-01-08T08:10:25.236-06:002011-01-08T08:10:25.236-06:00Sensation
