"... the Ten Commandments, like all rules and laws, respond to specific social challenges and are products of their time. In order to clarify the original intention of the Sixth Commandment, it is necessary to consider the context in which it was born. This is the sort of thing that really makes me want to SCREAM! GRRR! This nothing less than sophistry from a pseudo-intellectual imbecile! This is essentially the same argument the 'gun grabbers' use when they claim the U.S. Constitution is a living document. "The Second Amendment does not apply to modern weapons, because the Founders could not conceive of semi automatic weapons." Doesn't he believe the sacred scriptures to be Divinely inspired, and inerrant? Maybe God was wrong about this, and maybe the Magisterium and the CCC need my brilliant interpretation of the Commandments to correct their errors? ... Audacity re-defined!

If the person responsible for this -—Schonborn? -— were in my RCIA class, I would not recommend his reception into the Catholic Church.
I would say he should not be baptized until he exhibits a sincere desire to accept and live Catholic faith and morals.
