Vee8 Answers Your Questions About The Faith

Vee, what does it mean to be created in the "image and likeness of God."

I think, and I could be wrong, but I think Aquinas tied that in to our capacites to be rational. (He distinguished between the image and likeness and thought that we lost the likeness of God in the fall but kept the image. Or maybe the reverse. Anyway, whichever one he thought we kept, I'm pretty sure that meant rationality.)

That would mean that the image of God is less present in, say, the intellectually disabled (Down Syndrome and the like) than it is in other people. Clearly an unacceptable result, especially in light of Evangelium Vitae.

Some people say that God is love, and being in the image of God means that we give and receive love. Henri Nouwen talks this way, especially after he moved to Daybreak.

But what do we do with centuries that talk about Rationality as the defining characteristic of humanity.

(Anyone else can chime in too!)



Also, vee, why do I have So Gosh Darn Many church meetings???

Vee, I just had ANOTHER church meeting added to the calendar. For Sunday morning. This makes it six churchy things within seven days. Seven churchy things within eight days if you count oh "going to church" last Sunday.

Why do I go to a church with all these meetings?

:wall:

Vee, am I going to hell for bringing my knitting during church meetings?
[/quote]

And does it make a difference if the knitting during said meetings were purple socks intended for nuns?

(It wasn't last night, but for future reference ...)

Actually, when she was a kid one of my aunts was told "beer is something you have to LEARN to like" and her response was "Why? Why do you have to learn to like it?"

That is a good question!

Hmmm. My elder and I met up for dinner before the big church meeting last night and we had wine. Does that count?

(I strongly recommend alcohol before big church meetings.
