This thread was a message to various members of this forum that liked to jump to conclusions regarding Tolkien's treatment of romantic love in his works.
It wasn't meant as a commentary on Catholicism, but as a commentary on the way in which certain people assign their own values to fictional characters, based on a nebulous notion of "But Tolkien was a Catholic!"
But so what?
That's what I was trying to say at the time, however clumsily.
