Out of charity we really should destroy it (since it destroys souls) but in prudence we realise the more charitable gesture is to leave it be (for now), since it makes them more likely to come to the fulness of truth in the Catholic Faith.<br /><br />Re: Ioannes.<br /><br />1) Burning a qur'an is as wrong as burning the American Flag (since they both represent allegiances of this world) but nowhere near as wrong as burning a Bible (since it is divine Truth). Even non-believers commit a gravely more evil act when they burn a Bible than a flag, since the sacrilegious against holy objects occurs regardless of belief or intent - these only compound existing guilt. Burning an American flag may in some circumstances be right and just (such as when a flag becomes an obstacle to Faith).<br /><br />2) Yes and no. It is wrong, but the degree of the fault is not so easily declared equivalent. In one sense it is far worse to commit acts of violence against them (since we offend the dignity of both God and His creature) but in another sense their perversion is far worse. We can't really just throw out the "just as bad" line.<br /><br />3) Unfortunately, the last point is just not true. The murder of innocents is still far more wicked than the murder of the obstinately wicked. It's still murder to kill an abortionist, or a thousand of them, but their crimes remain worse.<br /><br />Again, please forgive me these scruples - but they are necessary distinctions, and I thank Almighty God that they exist, and that we have received such an intellect as can comprehend them.Stella Orientishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15654759332682745087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-33143284129082632162010-09-11T22:42:57.528-05:002010-09-11T22:42:57.528-05:00There is one instance where it's permissible f...There is one instance where it's permissible for a Catholic to lie: telling the Nazis that there weren't any jews hiding in the crawl space of your house. I believe Pope Pius XII forged lots of Certificates of baptism for jews.<br /><br />Ditto Ioannes. And it's about time the other Cavemen posted something.VSOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400266818545081938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-12376673594543337802010-09-11T11:08:45.626-05:002010-09-11T11:08:45.626-05:00I agree with Simplex Vir.

As I posted at:<br /><br />http://commentarius-ioannis.blogspot.com/2010/09/so-why-did-ioannes-just-post-note-to.html<br /><br />• Burning a Koran to incite violence and elevate ego is just as wrong as burning the Bible or the American flag.<br />• Committing acts of violence against homosexual people is just as wrong as the filth practiced by those people.<br />• Shooting abortion doctors and nurses is just as wrong as the murder of the unborn babies that they commit.<br /><br />No one gets to defy God's laws. No one. We are all held to the same standard. Yes, I loathe liberalism, progressivism, humanism and atheism. But what is the common denominator in all those "ism's" but the "ISM" itself - the "I - Self - Me"? That's the whole problem. Neither you nor I are God no matter how smart we think we are. We are fallible human beings, and that includes atheist and Christian and Muslim and Jew and Buddhist alike.Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05269978181247175900noreply@blogger.com
