Happy Thanksgiving! 🙂
It’s time again to discuss another section of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. My previous attempts at this have met with deafening silence, but I think I have more Protestant readers now, so maybe I’ll get more comments this time.
What we’ve covered so far:
"I Believe" – "We Believe" (CCC 26-184)
"I Believe in God the Father" (CCC 198-421)
Now, let’s take a look at "I Believe in Jesus Christ, the Only Son of God" (CCC 422-682). I invite all my Christian readers, Protestants in particular, to tell me what they find interesting, challenging, or contrary to their beliefs about the Church’s interpretation of this part, or previously mentioned parts of the Apostles’ Creed.
The
forty-fifth Christian Carnival is up at CowPi Journal. The post hoc theme is
“The Three Dimensions of Spirituality: Vertical, Horizontal/Outward, and Inward”,
i.e. the connection between you and God, the connection between you and other people,
the connection with yourself. There are thirty-seven entries this week. Go check
them out. When you’re done, think about submitting a post of your own. If you’re
Catholic, think about submitting to the Catholic
Carnival, too(You can send the same post to both).
The
fifth Catholic Carnival is up at Living Catholicism. The post hoc theme is the
Catechism. Go check it out! 🙂
People are going to think my life (or at least my blog) revolves around Theomorph,
but I just can’t wait to hear what he has to say about this.
Atheist supports
Ratzinger crusade against secularism
Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger has
enlisted in his defence of Christianity against secular Europe, the German philosopher
Jürgen Habermas [a self-described “methodical atheist”], who said
in an essay published this month that “Christianity, and nothing else, is the
ultimate foundation of liberty, conscience, human rights, and democracy, the benchmarks
of Western civilisation”.
