If you choose to see them as "an assumption of correlation" then you have a lot of explaining to do about the striking similarities between the two.<br /><br />By praying to Mary you mean asking her to pray for us, a prayer of "intercession" as St. Paul instructs us to do (1 Timothy 2:1). We believe the saints are alive in heaven and we are in fellowship with them. Since they are closer to God than we are here on earth, they can pray to him more efficaciously. Asking them to pray for us is just like you asking your pastor to pray for you.<br /><br />Our Lord gave the right to priests to forgive and withhold sins. Read John 20:23, "If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven"<br /><br />Why are you confused? Read the bible without a bias and read Catholic commentators. I'll write about the two questions you posed here sometime in detail.

After all, your beliefs do not differ from a believer's in terms of acting according to one's conscience. <br /><br />Also, since you believe that institutionalized religion (like the Church) has done great evil, and so is evil by nature, you must, by that same logic, believe that institutionalized anti-religion (like the Nazis) has done great evil, and so is evil by nature. After all, you are using the fallacy of generalization, which makes your argument against religion invalid.<br /><br />Moreover, you can cite all the differences between religion and non-religion, theism and atheism, even unto private beliefs and public practices, but it still won't change the fact you're basing your argument on a generalization that can be used against you.<br /><br />Finally, religion is a virtue that falls under the virtue of justice, and as such, is just, whereby it is not evil but good. So religion in general is good. Christianity in particular is the Supreme Religion, the religion that, more than any other, is good. So Christianity is not evil, either.<br /><br /><a href="http://blogsofasoul.blogspot.com/2011/05/some-common-misconceptions.html" rel="nofollow">Some Common Misconceptions</a>Nicknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806437069717779861.post-40816457818943503972011-06-04T12:47:57.096-04:002011-06-04T12:47:57.096-04:00The Church and the Spirit say, "Come!"

What else is it that makes us yearn for food when we're hungry other than desire for food? What else could it be that makes us long for warmth when we're cold besides desire for warmth? <br /><br />In both cases (need or want), desire is involved. This is important because it is necessary to admit that we human beings do have some desires that are healthy to a certain extent. It's only when this desire "exceeds the limit of reason," that it becomes corrupt. Any tampering with this understanding, and you might just find yourself have fallen into Gnosticism (if you deny that desire is healthy to a certain extent) or Hedonism (if you give into your desire at all times, even when it "exceeds the limit of reason")Kaisar Marogihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11831080672383640360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806437069717779861.post-41783675111474410212011-05-26T23:27:14.802-04:002011-05-26T23:27:14.802-04:00true that desire of itself is not necessarily a ba...true that desire of itself is not necessarily a bad thing, but desire leads to temptation when it is not kept in-check.<br /><br />I somewhat do not like the explanation of the catechism because if I am hungry, I eat, if I am cold I will find a warm shelter or put on a jacket. Both cases it is to fulfill a necessity for our physical wellbeing. <br />Desire to me is fulfillment to a want rather than a need, and when you want something for pleasure (food > indulging, flesh > sexual desire, money > well fill in the blanks) desiring these will lead to temptation and temptation will lead to sin.<br /><br />We all have desires of many kinds, but as I said before WE are in charge of letting those desires turn to temptation and temptation into sin.The Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12655852688995921990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806437069717779861.post-65554370293636305312011-05-26T21:18:50.885-04:002011-05-26T21:18:50.885-04:00If by desire you temptation then you're right....If by desire you temptation then you're right. But I think you're mistaking Desire with temptation. Desire is not necessarily in and of itself "wrong." Read the Catechism of the Catholic Church, <br /><br />2535 "The sensitive appetite leads us to desire pleasant things we do not have, e.g., the desire to eat when we are hungry or to warm ourselves when we are cold. THESE DESIRES ARE GOOD IN THEMSELVES; but often they exceed the limits of reason and drive us to covet unjustly what is not ours and belongs to another or is owed to him."<br /><br />Desire becomes wrong only "when it exceeds the limit of reason," meaning when it does not conform to our Will, which always wants to do follow God's law. Read what St. Paul says about this "For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; FOR THE WILLING IS PRESENT WITHIN ME but the doing of the good is not" (Romans 7:18). <br /><br />The reason why Desire Can be wrong is because of our fallen condition, because of Original Sin. OS has defiled our nature and distorted this Desire, so now no longer do we just fulfill our desires to remain satisfy our essential needs, but instead, we fulfill our desire in a manner that "exceeds the limit of reason." However, this condition is only cured through a recourse to God, who can cure our nature through means of grace, i.e. Sacraments, prayer, fasting, etc.Kaisar Marogihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11831080672383640360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806437069717779861.post-81169810300438625912011-05-26T17:02:25.866-04:002011-05-26T17:02:25.866-04:00Desire is and will always be a force in us every m...Desire is and will always be a force in us every moment we exist on this earth. This is the domain of the prince of darkness and he/she will use this desire to pull us away from God's domain that we strive to be closer to. Everyone of us is fully aware of this desire, and instinctively can distinguish what is right (God's will) and what is wrong (desire), but most of us knowingly do what our desire commands. God's grace which empowers us to do HIS Will exists in everyone of us but so is our desire, it is US who should decide which do we follow.The Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12655852688995921990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806437069717779861.post-80705551647194672352011-05-26T17:00:04.762-04:002011-05-26T17:00:04.762-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.The Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12655852688995921990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806437069717779861.post-6468006726583922112011-05-23T12:15:53.671-04:002011-05-23T12:15:53.671-04:00You are right.

However, it is not "individualism", in these cases, that caused these atrocities. Tyrannies can take many forms: religious, atheistic, communistic, fascist, and so on. However, usually these ideals start off innocent (except fascism), and idealistic, and then, when given state power, they corrupt. Marxism, and his form of communism is a perfect example of how a great idea, when put into a state mechanism, becomes horrible (Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot). This, I believe, is what happens when any religion becomes a part of a nation state. <br />With regards to developing your own idea of right/wrong, you are correct that allowing this to happen will create a world of total subjectivity. However, I believe that all religious doctrines are interpreted subjectively anyway (they are interpreted by human beings, after all) and we should always be in a constant debate about the content of these doctrines. If we do not, they become, like Marxism, a Tyranny (with Stalin), or like Spain (the Spanish Inquisition). If we allow all ideas to be debated, and allow an openness to debate about what is the Truth, this is true individualism. I believe that allowing all beliefs to be expressed openly will more often than not, weed out the bad ideas. If we do not allow debate about ideas, we are just as bad as Hitler's or Stalin's state.<br />Individualism, in itself, does not seek out to destroy any particular doctrine, like Catholicism, for instance, but simply challenges it as an absolute truth. Perhaps there are partial truths in every doctrine, but to not allow them to be challenged would be the ultimate evil.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
