A new web site has been established that argues AGAINST the Material-Formal Thesis: https://www.contra-thesis.com (Full disclosure: Novus Ordo Watch neither endorses nor condemns this position also known as the so-called Cassiciacum Thesis.)

@Daehenob67 I disagree. That is actually the kind of error condemned in the Vatican-approved book "Liberalism is a Sin" by Fr. Felix Sarda y Salvany (1866). We wouldn't praise a car without an engine for its leather seats, nor a child molester for the high-quality candy he gives out.
