People who say this aren’t talking about ‘life’ in a literal biological way. They are referring to a religious idea that at the moment an egg is fertilized, it becomes ensouled.

“Jesus talks about mercy to those in trouble in 24 verses of the Gospels, tells people not to judge in 34 verses, tells people to love and forgive even their enemies in 53 verses, tells people to love their neighbors as themselves and treat others as they would want to be treated in 19 verses, and specifically tells people to help the poor and/or spurn riches and the wealthy in 128...

“Dolan recounted that the pope, who turns 85 in April, then paid his mom the ultimate compliment, telling her, “You look too young to be the mother of a cardinal.” The cardinal said his mom — showing that a quick wit is a family trait — shot back, “Holy Father, was that an infallible statement?””

I will not be answering questions for the duration...
I will be focusing during Lent on personal reflection which should lead me to be able to answer your questions better. Thank you for your understanding. I will be turning my askbox off. It will be back on after Easter.
Anonymous asked: Do you think God's moral law can be reached on a secular level (such as the prohibitions on theft and murder damaging society, and so being immoral) completely, or just some aspects of it? That is, can God's morality be derived from extra-biblical sources at all?
Anonymous asked: While I can see where you are coming from with the predisposition toward homosexual acts, I find your statements likening it to alcoholism and lying rather offensive. That is saying that homosexuality is a disorder, and therefore implying that it can be treated, which is an idea that I absolutely reject. It is not a disorder, gays are not sick, and there is nothing dangerous about who they are.
Anonymous asked: Who would win between Batman and Superman?
Anonymous asked: Being gay is not justified? Being gay doesn't hurt anyone like alcoholism can, and lying can. That's like saying being black hurts people, it's the same bigotry.

What is "Take Back The Tag"?
failuresnotflatterinf:
I posted this before and forgot to put the replies on it. I’m Catholic and new to tumblr.
Every time Catholic hate starts showing up on the Catholic tag, we take it back by posting litanies and prayers. And welcome to tumblr!
Anonymous asked: Was the Saint Nick ("Santa Clause") an actual Catholic saint?
Anonymous asked: and to the last question, it depends on the audience, right? because I believe you said and I agree that you shouldn't be throwing scripture at atheists. btw, I love how you respond to hate with love. I wish they would return the favor. Haters gonna hate.
Anonymous asked: If God is perfect and just, then why would He create gay people and not want them to do what their nature pushes them to do? Either He is not perfect and did not intend to create gay people, a jerk because He wanted to make some people suffer by having these strong desires that they are not allowed to full or He does not actually have a problem with gay acts.

Anonymous asked: Why don't you ever quote scripture when you answer questions? Aren't you training to be a preist? Do they teach you that stuff at preist school
Anonymous asked: The reason that Jesus died for our sins is this: For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 6:23). Jesus was fully God and fully man, and thus could be our Mediator. He died once for all.
Anonymous asked: What about churches that WANT to perform gay marriages? There are several Christian churches in my city that do. Within the bounds of religious freedom, shouldnt they be allowed to do that?
Anonymous asked: What's your view on those meant by Jude 4?
Anonymous asked: I was just looking at this picture and the text on it said "I don't even understand the connection...'He died for your sins.' Well how does one affect the other? I hit myself in the foot with a shovel for your mortgage." I'm a practicing Roman Catholic and was wondering how to refute this statement. Thanks!
Anonymous asked: Wouldn't kissing be the same between gay couples and heterosexual ones? If you kiss- it could lead to sin. If you don't want a gay couple to kiss, a straight one shouldn't either because we all have tendency to sin because of the free will God gave us.

Norms of Licit Theological Dissent
49. There exist in the Church a lawful freedom of inquiry and of thought and also general norms of licit dissent. This is particularly true in the area of legitimate theological speculation and research. When conclusions reached by such professional theological work prompt a scholar to dissent from noninfallible received teaching, the...

Anonymous asked: In an ideal world, would you prefer that our government had no say over marriage, that 'civil unions' would, in a sense, exist between best friends, lovers, married folks, singles, and whoever else for the purposes of the legal benefits though? I would think things would be better for all if both sides of the gay marriage argument (and all ambivalent to it) would work for this goal...

“We were put on this Earth as creatures of God to have dominion over the Earth, to use it wisely and steward it wisely, but for our benefit not for the Earth’s benefit,” Santorum told a Colorado crowd earlier this month.
He went on to call climate change “an absolute travesty of scientific…

Anonymous asked: Do you believe it is okay for a pastor or priest to preach about how homosexuality is a sin while having a homosexual at church?
Anonymous asked: Hi, you've probably answered this before but I don't have time to peruse your entire blog. I was just wondering whether you appreciate the scientific certainties like potassium and carbon dating that definitively refute the absurdity that is the Christian (and numerous other religions') story of creation? I respect your faith, it's admirable, I'm just wondering how...

Anonymous asked: What do you think about kissing? Do you think it is sexual? An expression of love? Can two of the same gender kiss? Is it sinful?
Anonymous asked: what would be so horrible if we did allow gays to get married? since we have separation of church & state, please do not give me a religious reason. how would it hurt YOU in any way if two gay people got married?
Anonymous asked: Hi Niko. I was just wondering about the OT laws question you were asked earlier. I don't think they were misinterpretations of God's word, rather, they were spoken by God himself. When God sent Jesus our Savior, a new Covenant was put in place. The law shows us our sin, keeps us on the righteous path, and shows us how to live our lives. (See Galatians 3:19)

Anonymous asked: Are you homosexual?
Anonymous asked: But what about the atheists who don't believe in individual discovery of meaning through rationality? Some people think there is no meaning at all. Do they never get to be married?
Anonymous asked: "The Church loves everyone, including gays and lesbians." While the church theoretically loves everyone, many individuals do not follow this. I have heard people talking about how terrible and revolting gays are in church, and I've heard stories of people being criticized by priests and such for being who they are. Now, this is not the church's fault itself, but there are...
