“Something being a *mystery of the faith* is the typical fallback for Catholics when they have something they can’t explain because it contradicts Scripture”.
After I read your first post I was beginning to think you had started going back to Mass. The reason? Your answer was 100% Catholic.
Then you come up with the usual Catholic bashing so I just need to weigh in.
God kills people because He can! We are all his creation. We are not to question God. We belong to Him and He decides when we live and die and if He decides to take us out of this world so be it. God is God and will not be questioned!
Nor touch His anointed.
By extension; we're not supposed to question God's spokesperson on Earth: Francis; or the infallible church that he leads.
I've no clue as to why there as SO many Catholic 'opinions' out there.
One would think that after the Prophet speaks; the thinking has been done.
