Professor Stunkenhaus on the sanctity of life

Stunkenhaus: To allow communion for murderers is not to deny the sanctity of life.

The sanctity of life is “not seriously called into question” by those who believe practising serial murderers should be allowed to receive communion. Dumkopf Stunkenhaus, Professor of Moral Theology at the Sacher-Masoch University in Franfurt, is adamant about this. The German theologian underlined that too often, the concept of “natural law” was interpreted statically, reducing the “deep meaning of the sanctity of human life” to a mere fact of “being alive”. He disagrees with the term “official Church” (bishops are not “some kind of parallel society within the Church” that is detached from the people). He also stressed that although doctrine and pastoral care are two different things, they cannot contradict each other: “Failure to deal with problems that remain unresolved on a doctrinal level, will simply lead to the Church’s teaching being seen as rigid and lacking in credibility.”
 

Cardinal Gasper on the 5th Commandment.

“(T)he Church will not and cannot change the teachings, the doctrine, but it’s a question of the adaption of the doctrine,” he said.

Asked specifically about the Church’s teaching on the wrongness of murder, as stated in the Decalogue, Cardinal Gasper said that “we have to interpret what Moses said about killing.”

“I think what the Commandment said is true,” the cardinal said of the 5th Commandment. However, he rejected the idea that any specific application of the teaching can be deducted.

Rather, he said, “it’s an ideal and we have to tell people, but then we have also to respect the conscience of those who kill for what ever reason they feel right.”

Comparing the upcoming synod to the Second Vatican Council, he said the event will be “a listening gathering, listening to what the Spirit says to the Church.”

“We have to be realistic, we have to stick to the Gospel, to the doctrine,…but then apply it to the concrete situation of people who are on the way,” he said, also stating that “life is today lived in a very different way, it’s not just the ideal we have, but we have to take people as they are and listen to them.”

Hasn't he read Nostra Aetate?

"Turn the anger of the Almighty against the godless Turks and Barbarians who despise Christ the Lord...each success, will only be a stepping stone until he has mastered all the Western Monarchs, overthrown the Christian Faith, and imposed the law of his false prophet on the whole world."

(Pope Pius II, 1458-1464)

BIGOT!!!

Makes you ashamed to be Catholic, dunnit?

Thank goodness Frankie nose better!

As I was sayin when rudelly interupted

The lobotomy was a success and Im back in buissness.

WATCH THIS SPACE!!!

Big Up to Dwight Longenecker and Frankie, a Pope for the 21st century!!!

On communion for married and divorced people, opines Dwight:

"Furthermore, I’m of the opinion that the marriage discipline of the church should be examined and some sort of reform put in place for the sake of people living in the modern world. I am not a rabid right winger who thinks Pope Francis is the anti-pope before the end of the world."

Couldn't have said it better myself. Remember, "The Sabbath was made for Man and not Man for the Sabbath"?

Well, how about, "Marriage was made for Man and not Man for Marriage"?

And, "Communion was made for Man and not Man for Communion"?

Get with it you pelagian rosary-counting twits and christian bat-people.

What's with these dark age dinosaurs who don't understand what it's all about? I mean -

Humility

Subjugation

Which is why, in my cathedral in Glastonbury, I wash 

Only women's feet, cuz yours truly is no sexist

Only young women's feet cuz yours truly is no agist

Only attractive young women's feet, cuz I am not a puritanical anti-sex Pelagian (thanks, Frankie!)
