Baptism of Desire: Avoiding the Red Herrings on a Nearby Thread

[Parmandur]

Really, there is nothing to argue with here.  St. Thomas and the Council of Trent were teaching the same doctrine.

Absolutely.  And this is what the Holy Office maintained against contra Feeney.

What has Fr. Feeney to do with anything that I've stated?

If you imagine that there is a contradiction between BoD and the Council of Trent, then you are following off of Feeney, who noticed a supposed contradiction after 1900 years of non-controversy.  St. Thomas explains the doctrine, in the way that the Tridentine Fathers explained in their Catechism.  If you think that there is a contradiction, you're not doing it right.
