No.

Not because I'm not Catholic but because I have a problem killing other people for their lands and stealing their stuff. I don't support Crusades.

Thy Geekdom Come

[quote name='Iacobus' date='Nov 5 2004, 06:10 PM'] And just a note, some Christian group is getting all mad about the election of Bush saying we created "moral gap" in our thought. We only think about abortion and/or gay marriage and nothing else in the matters of Faith and Morals. So, knowing something, either from the EWTN thing on Vatican II, or the new "book" on social justice, or from Gaudium et Spes would be useful in combating that attack. [/quote]
They must have a theological gap. The right to life is not only most essential, it is that upon which all other rights are based. Furthermore, serving God is intrinsically more important than serving mammon.

Thy Geekdom Come

[quote name='crusader1234' date='Nov 6 2004, 02:07 PM'] Raph, a few things.

I think that you, as a more right wing person, like to ignore Catholic social teaching because it doens't coincide with your own opinions regarding economics. Economic teaching isn't as 'up for debate' as people like to think - the church has TONS of information on it and there are tons of textbooks which have been given Imprimatur or Nihil Obstat.

Your post, by the way, said that it was looking for stuff about Catholic ethics. How we spend our money and how we act towards issues such as the environment or child labour is definately a matter of faith and ethics.

However, as this is 'your thing' then thats fine if you don't want to include it, even if it does show a general lack of respect you have for Church teachings on economics. [/quote]
Crusader, I don't appreciate your condescending commentary.

The reason I don't think it would be wise is explained quite readily above. If you think I am lying, as you seem to imply by accusing me of biases I denied previously, and if you think I am ignoring Church teaching, as I disproved above, then you are either not reading my post or you are considering me a liar. In the first case, read my post and know that I never say anything about theology without being serious and well-informed. In the second, consult me privately.

Catholic social teaching does go to ethics and it is very important and I agree 100% with the Church on it. However, the Church does not give any particular economic or environmental policies. It only sets down certain rules which any plans must abide by. There are conservative plans and liberal plans which follow those rules. I am concerned that any professor, conservative or liberal, will try to push his particular and specific views over others, even if others also abide by those same rules. That is my concern, and it is a fair and honest one.

Prehaps they do, however it does exist, and thus a knowledge of social teachings (which are related to life teachings) is really a must. To be able to defend the Church fully a good understanding of all the Church is needed.

Don't put forth a "plan" just say what the Church says. Unions good, cancel 3rd World Debt, things like that.
