Featured Term (selected at random):
An absolute and unqualified command or prohibition of a law or of one's conscience in interpreting the law. Popularly associated with the Kantian theory of ethics, which centers on the principle "Act as if the maximum from which you act were to become through your will a universal law." It implies that, in the last analysis, each person's own will is the final legislator of what is morally right or wrong.
To me, this is heresy. God's will is the final word.
In my opinion, every action does have consequences, and we will have to answer to God for the people we led astray through our wrongful actions.
Anyone else?

Catholic Word of the Day Ping!
Please send me a FReepmail if you would like to be on the Catholic Word of the Day Ping List.
I remember studying Kant and when we came to this imperative I thought:
Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.
The Golden Rule is similar, but the Categorical Imperative could be stated as,
“Do unto others as you would have others do unto everyone.”
Thanks for your links and comments.
