Oh, by the way, that's not Louis Jourdan, the actor, but Louis Jordan, the sax player.

Well, when Louis Jordan released his, "Saturday Night Fish Fry," in 1949, at least rock-and-roll had sole...

Some would say that when Elvis did it, it did.

But does rock and roll have soul?

But rock-and-rollers do.

While I'm not sure what Aquinas thought about dogs going to heaven, I'm quite sure he thought that dogs had souls (contrary to some of the Protestant signs). Maybe not *immortal* souls, but souls nevertheless. Animals are called "animals" because they possess an "animus", i.e. a soul. (As an aside, he also thought that plants had souls -- vegetative souls, but still souls.)
He would quite agree, however, that rocks do not have souls. :-)

Thanks to the internet, whenever I see a picture of anything remotely questionable, I assume it's photoshopped.
I think eventually I'll get to the point where I'm like this guy:

"...in the form of an e-mail that suggests it's real, but it's not (note that the leaves of the plants don't move from one picture to another)."
Not only that, but shadows or the position of the parked car in the background don't change at all.
Still, it's very funny. I think I visit that website and try my hand at this.

Very great and funny war and I'm with the Catholic parish yet
Aquinas is with the Protestants herein....but heck, he thought any interest on a personal loan was against nature and that a child born to a slave mother was a slave and that the stars were eternal (below).
I'm wondering whether the Protestant comment on "rocks" was random or was in reference to St. Peter as "this rock" or to Aquinas who thought stars etc. to be immortal...Summa Theologica question 91 art. 5 in the Supplement "Therefore plants and animals will altogether cease after the renewal of the world.... Therefore it will be impossible for anything to be the subject of that renewal, unless it be a subject of incorruption. Now such are the heavenly bodies, the elements, and man. For the heavenly bodies are by their very nature incorruptible both as to their whole and as to their part..." He did not know that some of the stars we see are defunct for thousands of years but we still see their light.
And Aquinas never dealt with Isaiah 65:25 and whether it should only be taken iconically or both iconically and literally: Isaiah 65:25 "The wolf and the lamb will graze together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox; and dust will be the serpent's food. They will do no evil or harm in all My holy mountain," says the LORD."
