What reading level is The "summa Theologica" of St. Thomas Aquinas V.2:1:2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Now it happens that an action, just as a thing, is an object of delectation, because the action itself can be considered as a good and an end, in which the person who delights in it, rests; and sometimes the operation itself, which results in delectation, is the object of delectation, in so far as the appetitive power, to which it belongs to take dehght in anything, reflects on the action itself as being a good: for instance, when a man thinks and delights in his thought, in so far as his thoug...ht pleases him; while at other times the dehght consequent to an action, e.g. a thought, has for its object another action, as being the object of his thought; and then his thought proceeds from the inclination of the appetite, not indeed to the thought, but to the action thought of.
Accordingly a man who is thinking of fornication, may dehght in either of two things: first, in the thought itself; Q. 74. Art. 8 THE " SUMMA THEOLOGICA " 330 secondly, in the fornication thought of. Now the delec- tation in the thought itself results from the inclination of the appetite to the thought; and the thought itself is not in itself a mortal sin; sometimes indeed it is only a venial sin, as when a man thinks of such a thing for no purpose; and sometimes it is no sin at all, as when a man has a purpose in thinking of it; for instance, he may wish to preach or dispute about it.
