Yeah, impersonation of a catholic "deacon".
It was so sad and shameful that a couple of Prottys beat you to a pulp because you don't know what the teaching of the Church is, as usual, in this case, on Unbaptised Infants, and your most pathetic suggestion to IGNORE "nihil obstat". What a joke !
You are right in that Most Catholic authors and theologians today no longer bother with it. because you can't get "nihil obstat" for teaching Heresies.
I am satisfied pretty well all the catholics here don't take you seriously.
The Catholic Church has declared no infallible teaching on unbaptised infants!
In the particular case, a priest had issued a nihil obstat over the suggestion that the souls of unbaptized infants are in hell.
Technically, since there's no infallible teaching of the Church on the fate of unbaptized infants, that nihil obstat could be issued.
Realistically, however, to teach that the souls of unbaptized infants are in hell is ridiculous.
You don't know what you're talking about, do you?
Yes you can if you go bishop shopping (or fabricate one - who bothers to check?).
I think that Father Gobbi's book has one, and there was one years ago by a charismatic ministry who came up here from New Orleans that had an imprimatur by Cardinal Sin. And where would he be? Somewhere in SE Asia. Why would a group based out of New Orleans get one from a bishop in Asia?
Our local religious bookstore carried it for a time, and I apologize that I do not remember the title (new age grapes on the cover I think) nor can I come up with that ministry. It was a girl named Annie (I think) who travelled with a couple of priests, and their "charism" was knocking people flat on their backs in the sanctuary.
I don't know if there are any heresies per se in Father Gobbi's book, but one of his "meditations" consisted of a message confirming Medjugorje which was not approved by the church. A book with an imprimatur (maybe that isn't the same as nihil obstat) that references an apparition not approved by the church is heretical imo, but it all depends on what the meaning of heresy is. I almost typed hershey :-).
I suspect that as well, but given his need to defend moderate-liberalism, it actually makes sense inspite of itself that a pretentious, infinitive splitting sophist would be part of the modern Catholic Church, sadly.
