[Serious] Criticism of Aquinas' First Way or of the Proof of God from Motion.
#69
RE: Criticism of Aquinas' First Way or of the Proof of God from Motion.
No amount of being skilled at diplomacy would have mattered. The church was stuck in a jam. They knew they were wrong, and needed to find a way out, but they also knew that admitting as much before they found that new interpretation would damage perceptions of their authority.

He only had two choices, they were explicit, shut up or be shut up.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
