The main takeaway from Fides et Ratio is that learning how to think clearly, with the Church, in a mature and well-informed fashion, is vital. Its every bit as crucial as feeling our religious convictions deeply. Sentiment isnt enough, and that directly affects how we understand the role of conscience.
Christian faith is more than good will and kind intentions. Conscience is more than our personally sincere opinions. A healthy conscience needs a strong formation in the commonly held truths of the Catholic community. Without it, conscience can very quickly turn into an alibi machine. The world is a complicated place. It requires sound Catholic reasoning skills rooted in the teaching of the Church.
I get suspicious of anybody who talks like this: Every time the Christian community falls into error and proposes models of life derived from too abstract and artificially constructed theological ideals, it conceives its pastoral action as the schematic application of a doctrinal paradigm. WTH???? Confusus sum
I know I don't want to be standing anywhere near Frankie when he gets his due justice.
But you see Canonizing Paul VI is the perfect cover for ditching it.
Francis is a radical environmentalist.
Their basic belief is that Earth’s #1 problem is that it has too many people.
I suspect he is more loyal to that belief than to the Bible or Catechism, so I feat that day is coming.
You can’t have the full blessing of homosexual behavior and unions and even sacramental marriage for same sex couples unless HV falls.
Separating the unitive and procreative acts of marriage is essential to recognizing unions which by their very nature are sterile (notice I do not write from medical problems or age). The evil of homosexual acts are not just because of the physical wrongness of them but because they deny the very nature of God Himself as the first person in the Holy Trinity.
This is more than a threat to the consistent teaching on faith and morals but is upon closer examination blasphemy.
Francis would like to endorse abortion.
