Abortion still under control in Poland - part 2 [379]
in that smug and supercilious manner. Same when you throw scorn on women with careers and without children.
OMG, my thoughts exactly, Feniks! I've noticed this too! I think for women he lacks the same level of empathy/understanding that he has for men... It's as if he doesn't treat women like 100% human beings or something. 🤨
The Catholic tradition does not hold that all taking of life is morally equivalent.
Which Catholic tradition are you talking about? Do you even know what you're talking about?
The theologians of the early Church (early Christians) were pretty anti-killing of any sort. Some were so pacifist that they were not only against the death penalty, but also against Christians serving in the military or even killing someone in self-defence. Hippolytus of Rome, one of the most important second-third centuries Christian theologians, urged priests to deny baptism to any soldier whatsoever. "A military man in authority must not execute men. If he is ordered, he must not carry it out" ("Apostolic Tradition," 16.9).
Those who were in favour of death penalty were of an opinion that it should be used as rarely as possible, in grave instances, if there's no other way and no chance for moral improvement in the perpetrator.
From what I've read that changed after the 4th century after the integration of the Church with the Roman state. So are you following a Christian tradition or a Roman tradition?
To sum up, it looks to me that The Second Vatican Council is more in line with the actual teachings/mindset of the early Church which were obviously directly based on the
actual teachings of Christ. You know, those teachings that
Christians are supposed to follow? 🙄
So, no, John Paul II and other bishops weren't influnced by "masons, protestants, leftards and other retards, and shifted its position to anti death penalty." From what I can see they were influnced by teachings of the early Christians (and that of Jesus himself, obviously).
Yes you do. You talk about "actual teachings of Christ" while all the time arguing for the murdering of babies.
No, I don't. I don't know if you're that stupid or intentionally disingenuous and manipulative. I talked about "actual teachings of Christ" in regard to John Paul's stance on death penalty.
She is one with a sick imagination, imagining rape.
I don't have to imagine it, you idiot. You can read articles and watch documentaries about it on TV and on YouTube. It's all real and happening in this world, unfortunately.
That's it for now. I have some more comments/responses, thoughts and observations (and more knowledge to share 🧐), but I'm not going to spend my whole weekend on this. So I'll probably get back to it some other time.
