rkwright Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 [quote name='Resurrexi' post='1815875' date='Mar 24 2009, 09:34 PM']I've looked at the document. It's a horrible evaluation of limbo. However, when the document came out, news headlines were reading "Catholic Church abandons teaching of limbo" and other such things. The document is what it is, a document from a theological commission. Not a statement from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.[/quote] What parts did you feel were horrible?

Resurrexi Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 (edited) Sorry, I meant to say 'not a horrible'. I think the part about its development throughout history is pretty good. Edited March 25, 2009 by Resurrexi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theologian in Training Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 [quote name='HisChildForever' post='1815572' date='Mar 24 2009, 04:03 PM']This is a very common viewpoint (ghosts = souls who had not moved on). My Dad watches these ghost shows ALL the time. I definitely believe that there is something supernatural going on, I just find it very hard to reconcile the common perception of ghosts (souls that have not passed on) with our faith.[/quote] That is not what I am saying, nor is that what those who believe in ghosts are saying, they are saying that their Purgatory is to solicit prayers. They were already judged and deemed "worthy" of Purgatory, since we don't know exactly what Purgatory is, it is possible that some ghosts are souls of those who have been granted their Purgatory as getting more prayers said for them. It is not a limbo or someone who has not "passed on" but has been dealt this as their Purgatory. Again, Judgment has already occurred and this is part of their Judgment.

pat22 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Its kind of weird when someone comes on a topic and pastes like 5 paragraphs from the catachism to answer the question. it kind of ends all debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dominicansoul Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 (edited) I went to an all Hallow's eve party on Friday nite and there were a lot of pictures taken. people started to freak out, because white orbs were appearing on pictures taken at a certain area outside of the house. I've heard of this phenomenon, and rather than believe we were surrounded by ghosts, I figured it was dust reflecting light from the flashes. It still looked pretty weird... I used to hear about all sorts of weird stuff happening at this place. So a group of us went walking through the wooded area of the property, and we took some pictures at an old abandoned homestead there. We freaked out, because the white orbs appeared in that area, too. There's this one picture where the orbs took on a more solid look. I still say it was dust...

It's possible that it's paranormal though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominicansoul Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orb_(optics) yeah, wikipedia agrees with you... I'm sure if any ghosts were around, we'd have encountered something more than just orbs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
