"Man and animal -- both formed on the same day from the earth, both sensate, living beings with souls, both capable of pleasure and suffering. Man and animal, of the same genus -- but of different species. What is it that separates us? According to St. Thomas Aquinas, it is (as he explains) in his Summa Theologica.
I was recounting a story from childhood, when I was being “informed” by what “adults” around me were telling me to “believe.” I have long ago stopped listening to secondary “sources” and made my own direct investigations into these matters. No interest in your “appeals to authority” because I don’t buy into the dogma games.
