Whoa - I'm sorry. I tried to get through that, I really did. But it's way too long and flowery.

I'm sorry it seemed too flowery. I really like the genius of Walter Farrell. He makes Aquinas understandable to me.

I thought this was especially useful because of his treatemt of women and culture. Unless women are valued as the model of Mary suggests to us, we are left with the model of woman our culture presents to us. Essentially, our culture considers woman a rental car. She is to be used by men for pleasure. If she becomes dirty (pregnant) one can discard her and rent another clean car while the dirty (pregnant) rental car can be vacuumed (aborted) and perfumed and set back out in the lot for another pleasure-seeking man to rent for a joy ride (fornication).

Madonna/Brittany as a model or Mary/Virgin Bride as model.

When we raise our daughters, whom do we present to them as role models? If not the role models of Jesus, Mary, Joseph and the Saints, them the dead culture of Madonna, Brittany,Crowe will triumph. We know which ones our deracinated culture presents to our girls as role models- the ones that make money for the soulless corporations.
