Or are we to hear your pronouncements and rest satisfied that Authority has spoken?

Explain to me how pornography is not intrinsically evil.

Attempting to reverse the burden of proof ("Prove that there aren't any fairies") is the last refuge of the intellectually bankrupt. Aquinas would weep.

Apparently you're under the delusion that I agree that all "intrinsic evils" (still yet to be defined) should be illegal. But I don't.

So if I think pornography should be legal, that in no way implies I think it's neutral, let alone a good. In fact, although there's still no definition of intrinsic evils, any reasonable definition would include pornography. I happen to be of the opinion that any reasonable definition of an intrinsic evil would also include such things as blasphemy, promoting Judaism, promoting Islam, denying the Trinity, or for that matter eucharistic adoration.
