“I’m aware that Newt is a convert, so am I. The Catechism agrees with me.”

Tell us what the Catechism and Christ say about Forgiveness.

[BenKenobi]

It says that repentence must come first. One must repent of the sin, and turn away from it before one will be forgiven.

You don’t double down on it. Is marrying your mistress ‘repentence’?

It strikes me as haunting the way the poster commands us that ‘The Catechism agrees with’ her! I seem to recall the Pharisees using the same arrogant approach when they tried to trap Jesus over the woman taken in adultery and about to be stoned. They argue with jesus that ‘Moses agrees with them’ ... and the response Jesus made was to stoop down and begin writing int he dust. We will never know what He was writing, but perhaps it was the names of consorts of these same Pharisees. Whatever He was writing, the mob slinked away, leaving Jesus to ask the woman ‘Where are your accusers?’ At least the Pharisees had the good sense to realize they had aligned themselves in such a way that they were demanding God agree with them, rather than they bowing to God’s Grace. The poster doesn’t seem to catch that nuance, yet.
