Featured Term selected at random:

UNIVERSAL DOUBT

 

The state of suspension of positive judgment on any and every truth. Normally it is only a methodical form of doubt; when real, general doubt is pure skepticism.

All items in this dictionary are from Fr. John Hardon's Modern Catholic Dictionary, © Eternal Life. Used with permission.



TOPICS: Apologetics; Catholic; History; Theology
KEYWORDS: catholic
**The state of suspension of positive judgment on any and every truth.**

Is this exhibited on FR as often as I think?

“Yes!”

No! Bunch of B.S....

Doubt is doubt period. Often, and probably more accurately it more often comes from gut feeling, or just a sense that something is wrong with what’s being asserted.
