Does that include those running out of Franciscan apartments or just those advocated by Catholic Bishops?I think those just have plainchant. (The Church always messes up when it gets into areas outside its field.)
Seriously, I read somewhere that Aquinas thought that there ought to be bordellos allowed outside of cities. His thinking, supposedly, was that there is going to be vice, so let's manage it and get it out of town.

Give people a "safe outlet" for their vices, and they'll be more obedient the rest of the time.
