I may have started some trouble with my first post on this thread but, after reading that 47% of Catholics think abortion is OK, I felt the need to elaborate on the subject.
Maybe I should just except the facts and move on?
I agree with you about individual conviction but need to point out that the sincerity of one's reconciliation ultimately is a matter between the penitant and God. In other words, the Catholics you have pointed out in your first post will ultimately face Divine Justice and that an insincere Reconciliation will not prevent that.
Hope that helps.
You can “except” them if you choose-—but I don’t think you have to ACCEPT them’’YOU know what Mark Twain always said: “There’s lies, and damned lies—and then there’s statistics”.
I have a serious credulity problem believing that 47% of Catholics think abortion is OK.
Let me repeat—if they think abortion is OK, they have set themselves apart from the Church. They are CINOs, which means they aren’t any credit to the Church, nor are they responsible witnesses for the Church.
