Hmm, but I think that's a different type of inaction than the kind he's discussing LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 06/09/2010 08:02:50 PM
that kind of inaction directly causes harm to someone...whereas refraining from committing a sin is...well refraining from committing a sin. If the church excommunicated people for just THINKING about sin, or wanting to, I don't think they'd have very many members left...not as long as it was attempting to cater to humans, anyways :P

Religion 100% aside, it's"okay" because she breached her contract LadyLorraine - 05/09/2010 12:18:36 AM 900 Views
Well, my tripes with it are a little in line with that MalkierKnight - 05/09/2010 01:26:56 AM 916 Views

goodness knows that the military sign their rights away ALL THE TIME LadyLorraine - 05/09/2010 02:44:58 AM 720 Views
While I understand that view Roland00 - 05/09/2010 04:05:29 AM 872 Views
There is a difference in the degree of the transgressions and the public nature of them as well. Cannoli - 05/09/2010 02:30:06 AM 813 Views
agreed. There may be some hypocrisy in the church employment practices... LadyLorraine - 05/09/2010 02:49:44 AM 772 Views
That's the crux of it. Joel - 07/09/2010 11:24:44 AM 914 Views

Good god... MalkierKnight - 10/09/2010 10:52:03 AM 871 Views

She chose to work for a Catholic institution. Dragonsoul - 05/09/2010 05:54:23 PM 719 Views
what a stupid thing to say Yunalesca - 05/09/2010 07:38:16 PM 857 Views
Um... no? One can be excommunicated for any number of things. *NM* Ghavrel - 05/09/2010 08:22:29 PM 287 Views
yeah back in the time when there was no electricity *NM* Yunalesca - 05/09/2010 08:25:17 PM 325 Views
...um, no. I'm not sure where you're getting that from, but it's completely wrong. Ghavrel - 06/09/2010 01:06:49 AM 761 Views
You can't be excommunicated for being gay Roland00 - 06/09/2010 02:51:21 AM 850 Views
No one here said you could. Dragonsoul - 06/09/2010 03:00:07 AM 779 Views
I am not disagreeing with that, excommunications do happen Roland00 - 06/09/2010 03:07:57 AM 861 Views
This is a classic example of me inadvertently coming to complete agreement with the Vatican. Joel - 07/09/2010 12:05:52 PM 820 Views
Wow! What an underwhelming argument. everynametaken - 06/09/2010 04:24:32 AM 826 Views
Remember that NC Baptist church kicking out non-Bush supporters in '04? Joel - 07/09/2010 11:46:18 AM 890 Views
Actually, the Pope has the right to say "sorry, you're not a Catholic anymore". Dragonsoul - 05/09/2010 08:43:34 PM 965 Views
See above post Roland00 - 06/09/2010 02:52:25 AM 709 Views
What? Dragonsoul - 06/09/2010 02:56:59 AM 715 Views
Nope Roland00 - 06/09/2010 03:03:48 AM 746 Views
Inaction, like, for example, not saving lives where you could have is also grounds for expulsion. Dragonsoul - 06/09/2010 06:35:31 PM 634 Views
Hmm, but I think that's a different type of inaction than the kind he's discussing LadyLorraine - 06/09/2010 08:02:50 PM 944 Views
I never infered that that was the case. Dragonsoul - 06/09/2010 08:24:30 PM 646 Views
mmm, but your example isn't inaction ALONE LadyLorraine - 06/09/2010 08:46:56 PM 747 Views
Hmm interesting question. Dragonsoul - 06/09/2010 10:35:19 PM 827 Views
is excommunication about "use" though? LadyLorraine - 06/09/2010 10:36:55 PM 860 Views
I don't know. Dragonsoul - 07/09/2010 05:47:42 AM 707 Views
yah, I'd agree with that LadyLorraine - 07/09/2010 11:59:01 AM 863 Views
Well thank god you aren't the pope Roland00 - 07/09/2010 03:29:00 AM 828 Views
I would say the same for you. Dragonsoul - 07/09/2010 05:50:55 AM 770 Views
Dismas is a Saint? Joel - 07/09/2010 12:08:45 PM 842 Views
It's pretty hard to argue with that one. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/09/2010 04:18:41 AM 266 Views
Yeah, was just surprised they'd made it official is all. Joel - 08/09/2010 04:36:28 AM 814 Views
You are purposefully trying to split hairs Roland00 - 07/09/2010 03:15:08 AM 751 Views
Calling me an idiot... Dragonsoul - 07/09/2010 05:52:39 AM 753 Views
My turn to split hairs: Joel - 07/09/2010 12:10:33 PM 755 Views
does excommunication mean you are no longer Catholic? random thoughts - 06/09/2010 08:52:58 PM 641 Views
i'm pretty sure we have this conversation on a weekly basis. *NM* LadyLorraine - 06/09/2010 09:05:33 PM 306 Views
Yeah. Dragonsoul - 06/09/2010 10:34:10 PM 624 Views
is being Catholic a belief system or a club? random thoughts - 06/09/2010 11:03:00 PM 735 Views
Depends on who you ask Roland00 - 07/09/2010 03:12:23 AM 882 Views
It's both. Dragonsoul - 07/09/2010 05:54:13 AM 828 Views
I'm unsure about that. It doesn't invalidate baptism. Ghavrel - 07/09/2010 08:23:33 AM 697 Views
I thought conformation is what made you a member of the church *NM* random thoughts - 07/09/2010 06:42:36 PM 270 Views
You're correct. Dragonsoul - 08/09/2010 02:33:45 AM 740 Views
Either way, it's a sacramental character, and so my point stands. You can't erase the seal of either *NM* Ghavrel - 08/09/2010 04:18:12 AM 282 Views
Hey I haven't brought up the last two times Roland00 - 07/09/2010 03:30:18 AM 728 Views
My god people that cheat or divorce shouldn't be Catholic Roland00 - 06/09/2010 02:26:23 AM 637 Views
I'm inclined to agree. Joel - 07/09/2010 11:31:59 AM 709 Views
