The Villanelle felt like the right tone — somber. But the sonnet begged for a punchline acknowledging Thomas Aquinas’ treatise on Just War from Summa Theologica (II-II, Q. 40).
Either way…this timeline we’re in is dumb, disappointing and confounding.

‘Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) - Thomas Aquinas was an Italian philosopher, theologian, and Dominican friar. Through the writing of almost eighty works, he attempted to resolve the conflict between faith and intellect. His Treatise on Law recognized four types of law—eternal, natural, human, and divine—with a special interest in the relationship between human nature and morality. Ultimately, the Treatise on Law helped form the basis for Catholic canon law. In a church-like setting, Aquinas in his priestly habit gestures to heaven with his right hand under a vaulted ceiling while holding a bible in his left.’ https://www.gsa.gov/fine-arts#/artist/114

#ThomasAquinas knew why devils & demons so interested in sex: “Because the first corruption of sin through which humankind became a servant of the Devil comes to us by means of the generative act, the power of bewitchment is therefore granted by God to the Devil
No creature can attain a higher grade of nature without ceasing to exist.

DYK the penis had more than moral & mystical meaning for medieval Christians? It also ruled supreme in human affection. #ThomasAquinas taught that children should love their fathers more than their mothers because men provided semen, the only “generative” agent.
DYK #ThomasAquinas & the 13thC church saw all women as crippled souls? Aquinas argued every force in life created things like itself. The vital energy in semen was perfect & should only replicate a life as flawless as itself — a person w/ a penis.
But #Augustine & #ThomasAquinas declared that any deviation from #MissionaryPosition #coitus in marriage was sinful? They believed reproduction was the only excuse for #SexPlay—all other kinds were demonic & sinful. Blog8 HowSexGotScrewedUp.com #HistSex #SexualPleasure
