Surely if they can abolish Limbo they can do the same for Hell :)
0 those Dominicans. One would almost think you did not want to be a member of the Dominican order.
Does that mean people who are opposed to Putin's Russia do not want to be Russians?
Entirely in keeping with the OP revisionist agenda in some quarters. One gets the impression that some OPs have a very impoverished understanding of the Incarnation. The world is redeemed, not an evil place to be resisted and avoided.
And then the anonymity. That too is a feature of Putin's Russia.
Let's face it.
There is a lot of redefinition/re-presentation of dogma needed if the Roman Catholic Church is to have any continuing relevance in the world. Items include the Incarnation, Resurrection, Real Presence and so on.
As currently presented with all the cult and magical connotations they are getting increasingly out of kilter with any reasonable understanding of the universe.
The issue has been ducked for too long and needs to be faced up to.
People who have been sniping away at the edges have been put down by a fossilised CDF which would prefer that the Horrible Holy Blasphemy of Vatican II had never happened. Many have gone to their graves condemned by the Church, only for some to later emerge as
acknowledged wise men.
Believers should at least, at this stage, be grateful that the Holy Father has actually preserved the distinction between the good and the evil, the former "living" with God and the latter "disappearing" without, supposedly the real punishment anyway.
Hopefully the Pope's remaarks, whatever they were, will stoke up this long overdue debate.
His style to date is an interesting one - fly a kite and let it fester.
