No one has anything to rescue saint tommy. His arguments have been out there for centuries. They are not successful. Even saint tommy himself decided his arguments were cold dogshit after going on some mystical fucking vision quest. The interest lies in a resurgence of (previously abandoned) thomism as an effect of a contemporary faction within the rcc engaged in the culture wars who see regressive theology as politically expedient. It's actually a pretty fascinating story, but like saint tommys statements and beliefs and midnight rides, I'm sure we'll be told that we absolutely can't draw any conclusions from it.
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!
