If you are starving yourself, you shouldn't be creating a new life....you should be finding a way to survive.bill bannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09737277581167437670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774317.post-34911877452185651252010-11-24T05:26:29.815-06:002010-11-24T05:26:29.815-06:00Historically if you go by the old saints like Aqui...Historically if you go by the old saints like Aquinas, most people do not reach heaven. If you go by 20th century figures like Rahner, Von Balthasar, John Paul II and Benedict....few Might...Might perish. Maybe they too are an extreme because all 4 implied that Judas might not be in hell. Christ's words about Judas were obvious....<br /><br />Mar 14:21 "For the Son of man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born."<br /><br />Jhn 17:12 While I was with them, I kept them in thy name, which thou hast given me; I have guarded them, and none of them is lost but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled.<br /><br /> Christ said the second quote to His Father prior to Judas being lost in suicide. Hence it was the use of the prophetic past as when Isaiah talks of Christ in the past tense...." and we have seen him and there is no sightliness in him"...53:2.<br /><br /> So the last two Popes were too far in the opposite direction from Aquinas...at least by one human being.<br /><br />Check number two in your rendition of double effect as to whether you are conflating an act with the bad effect. The act for the hiv couple of using a condom is neutral because in their case, a condom is a twonfold object like your <br />nose....which is a conduit of both breathing and smelling.<br />The good and bad effect are then simultaneous....disease prevention and contraception (the latter in a minority of a month's acts of intercourse).bill bannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09737277581167437670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774317.post-81931033550757197502010-11-23T22:23:02.517-06:002010-11-23T22:23:02.517-06:00I trust in God's mercy and I give people the C...I trust in God's mercy and I give people the Christian charity of the doubt.<br /><br />But even if they don't end up in heaven, their existence is a positive good or God wouldn't have brought them into existence.<br /><br />It is doctrine that Satan is good insofar as he exists. He just doesn't do anything good with the existence he has been given.<br /><br />If Satan's existence were not good, God would not continue to hold him in existence.Steve Kellmeyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07509461318016670424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774317.post-37571513381993849182010-11-23T20:40:16.556-06:002010-11-23T20:40:16.556-06:00Think about 4a at minimum.

The birth of a child may lead to heaven but may lead to the opposite as in Judas' case.<br />This judgement you are making would vary as to each individual's sense of whether a majority or a minority reach heaven. You present the heaven option as a sure thing.bill bannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09737277581167437670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774317.post-60433799902101127042010-11-23T17:39:00.932-06:002010-11-23T17:39:00.932-06:00I think the next controversy/correction/clarificat...I think the next controversy/correction/clarification to come out of this statement will now be: Which is more important, currently living life or potential future life?

The only good thing I heard out of all this mess is that the Pope at least says that it is still an evil just a lesser evil. <br />So it is still wrong but I'm sure the media will try to paint that in a different light. <br />God help us.joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18306405375426666666noreply@blogger.com
