A virtue can be impeded ... by something that is not a sin but is less good. In this way, intercourse with a woman throws a man’s mind down not from virtue, but from the height, i.e., the perfection, of virtue (ST 2-2.153.2ad1).
o homem deve pagar a conta nos encontros e prover o lar; à mulher, cabe ser prendada, para cuidar do marido e dos filhos, e instruída, para auxiliar na renda da casa, caso se faça necessário.
Regardless of how you view Vatican II, the facts are undeniable: it didn't work.
It failed because of a single fatal flaw. Instead of converting the world to Roman Catholicism, Vatican II tried to adapt Roman Catholicism to the modern world. Its main proponents had lost the faith in an infallible, indefectible Church, reducing her to a naturalistic, rationalistic, and merely human institution.
By their fruits you shall know them: loss of the faith, apostasy, indifferentism, rebellion against dogma, secularization, and a sentimental, Protestantized religion.
Mainstream Catholicism today is no longer a serious religion. It keeps the Catholic label and a faint Catholic flavor, but it has lost the Catholic substance.
The only way back to sanity is to return to Pre-Vatican II Roman Catholicism. There is no other solution.
