But there is in all perfect animals a natural inclination toward carnal union. Therefore it is impossible for carnal union to be evil in itself.

Thomas Aquinas
Christ was either liar, lunatic, or Lord!
Thomas Aquinas
In the realm of evil thoughts none induces to sin as much as do thoughts that concern the pleasure of the flesh.
Thomas Aquinas
All men are equal in nature, and also in original sin. It is in the merits and demerits of their actions that they differ.
Thomas Aquinas
To teach in order to lead others to faith is the task of every preacher and of each believer.
