Should all Catholics read Summa Theologicae?

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 23 22:13:28 2018 No.11051071 >>11051053 No. Most are laity in theology. As long as they have their sacraments and are faithful Catholics. If anyone wants to read the Summa, then awesome. It's not morally obligatory, but it's morally praiseworthy.

It depends on who you ask: the people who are wrong, or the people who are right.

Let's take the wrong point of view first: no, not from the Catholic point of view, because it would mean that large numbers of laypersons would read it (and, horror of horrors, thereby form their own opinions of the work and probably misunderstand it). Catholics are religiously opposed to the masses reading books and thereby improving themselves, reserving this activity to a small minority of well-trained (inculcated) priestly class who repeat the literature just-right, thereby defending the cult.

Now some cheeky "culturally Catholic" (real Catholics and real Christians don't browse this website) fuckstick will be right on cue with an observation like: "yes, that's right, the masses really are dumb as fuck and can't be trusted with this sort of thing." Which /sounds/ right on this contrarian Nepalese basket-weaving discussion forum, exactly because the contrarian or edgy opinion is by default the right one. But in fact, it isn't. In fact, the free, literate and educated society is better than the largely illiterate, more intensively feudal one.

You'd like that, wouldn't you? It would be an easy explanation. The truth of the matter is that I've been browsing this site regularly since its creation, and I've spent something less than twelve total lifetime hours even looking at the other one. By all means continue saying nothing of substance.

Because you need it to be in order to spare your own ego. Similarly, whoever posted this >>11051227 (you?) had to believe to himself that I would frequent such a space, in order to make sense of me, when all that's going on is that I'm right and I win.

uh bruh you basically shit your pants all over the thread. nothing has been achieved. there has been almost no discussion of OP's topic. now please stop embarrassing yourself, you'll feel bad about it later.
