Dogma of the Catholic Church (CATHOLIC CAUCUS)

Most people have heard of Dogma but not many people know what it means. Dogma is another name for what the Church believes. The Catholic Church official teaching is based on The Apostles Creed and Dogma. Dogma is fundamental to the Catholic faith. It is etched on the heart of the Church for eternity because the Church believes it was revealed by God and the Church declared it infallibly.

Note that the Vatican has no official list of Dogmas, probably for many reasons, one of which, that Dogmas can be very complicated, and placing them in a few words, could become legalistic, and also give an incomplete view of the Dogmas.

We provide this list as a reference only, and encourage those who want to learn more about each of these to consult the Catechism and various other Catholic sources.

With Pentecost this Sunday, thought this would be interesting for Catholics. Note Section VI, #11: "Christ founded the Catholic Church." (Not the Holy Spirit).

43. The Three Divine Persons are in one another.

Not according to Bergoglio.

“Inside the Holy Trinity they’re all arguing behind closed doors,” Cuda says Francis told them, “but on the outside they give the picture of unity.”

43. Souls who depart this life in the state of original sin are excluded from the Beatific Vision of God.

Not according to the arch-heretic, Bobby Barron.

"Dare we hope"

11. God gives all the just sufficient grace for the observation of the divine commandments.

Not according to the arch-heretic, Jorge Bergoglio:

Yet conscience can do more than recognize that a given situation does not correspond objectively to the overall demands of the Gospel. In any event, let us recall that this discernment is dynamic; it must remain ever open to new stages of growth and to new decisions which can enable the ideal to be more fully realized.

Not a very nice thing to say.

[ebb tide]

Don’t tell me.

Tell Bergoglio.

There’s always Baptism of Desire...

There’s always Baptism of Desire...

Did Osama bin Laden have "desire"?

Did Mao Tse Tung have "desire"?

[ebb tide]

The Catholic Church recognizes that the Holy Innocents died in a state of grace by their baptism of blood.

Did Herod the Great, the one who ordered their slaughter, die by his "baptism of desire"?

[Marchmain]

Don’t know. These things are unknown to us in this life and are in the hands of God.

[ebb tide]

But we do know that Jesus Christ warned that many souls would go to Hell.

Do you deny that?

[Marchmain]

Why would I deny anything Christ said?

[ebb tide]

Why would I deny anything Christ said?

Maybe because you have said you no problem with a heretic bishop who dares hope Christ was lying.

[ebb tide]

"I read the spectrum of Catholic commenters, and don’t think Barron is a heretic." Marchmain 5-19=21.

Francis delivers “good news”

[ebb tide]

13. God, by an eternal resolve of his Will, predestines certain men, on account of their foreseen sins, to eternal rejection.

So much for the heretic, Bobby Barron's "Dare we Hope" (nobody's in Hell).
