Is your obvious belief that he was a Christian theologian, and therefore anything he says on any subject is automatically wrong. Similarly, citing Aquinas on the ordination of women is wholly irrelevant to his opinions on willful ignorance. It's like saying that George Washington being a slaveholder meant that his actions during the Battle of Trenton were wrong. The one has nothing to do with the other.

I actually agree with you on the ordination of women, and I have even posted on why Inter Insigniores, the Vatican's position paper on the ordination of women, is a piece of crap. See http://democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1221&pid=605 If you would like me to expand on this, I would be happy to.
