ref:1.149: "Father Joseph Kern, S. J., in a remarkable treatise De Sacramento Extremae Unctionis , published at Innsbruck in 1907, insists that the proper object of Extreme Unction is the perfect healing of the soul ( perfecta sanitas animae ) with a view to its immediate entry into glory, unless indeed it should happen that the restoration of bodily health were more expedient."
ref:2.34: I'm not sure why Pohle claims "The Supplementum to the Summa Theologica of St. Thomas" is "not written by the Angelic Doctor". It's simply extracts from his commentary on the Sentences.
ref:2.37: clerical celibacy / virginity
ref:2.50 gives ability to resist persecution as the first advantage (for the Church) of clerical celibacy; cf. W. Rees on 1 Cor. 7:29-32a ("they also who have wives be as if they had none"): "An unmarried person is better able to bear persecution, private or public."
ref:2.51: Celibate priests โ better quality preaching:
Fr. Thurston, in his [ Catholic Encyclopedia ] paper to which we have referred, quotes the testimony of Dr. Mahaffy, a distinguished married [Protestant] clergyman and professor of Trinity College, Dublin: "From the point of view of preaching there can be little doubt that married life creates great difficulties and hindrances. The distractions caused by sickness and other human misfortunes increase necessarily in proportion to the number of the household; and as the clergy in all countries are likely to have large families, the time which might be spent in meditation on their discourses is stolen from them by other duties and other cares. The Catholic priest, when his daily round of outdoor duties is over, comes home to a quiet study, where there is nothing to disturb his thoughts. The family man is met at the door by troops of children welcoming his return and claiming his interest in all their little affairs. Or else the disagreements of the household demand him as an umpire, and his mind is disturbed by no mere speculative contemplation of the faults and follies of mankind, but by their actual invasion of his home." [Mahaffy, The Decay of Modern Preaching , London, 1882, p. 42.]
ref:2.52 cites "Celibacy of the Clergy" Catholic Encyclopedia article by H. Thurston, which begins with theological (incl. non-utilitarian) justifications for clerical celibacy. Thurston mentions that unmarried priests are more trustworthy in the confessional.
Pohle thinks the Summa supplement isn't authentic.
