“Church should take new approach towards question of communion for remarried divorcees"

[TimothyH]

Need to revisit this…

Such need not involve any theft.

Such is NOT the definition of the Theft.

Catechism:

2408 The seventh commandment forbids theft, that is, usurping another’s property against the reasonable will of the owner. There is no theft if consent can be presumed or if refusal is contrary to reason and the universal destination of goods. **This is the case in obvious and urgent necessity when the only way to provide for immediate, essential needs (food, shelter, clothing . . .) **is to put at one’s disposal and use the property of others.191

Such can be “not theft” by definition.

I concede the point but respectfully request that the argument be allowed to stand for the purpose of illustrating the idea of subjective culpability vs objective sin. I will refrain from stating that Jean Valjean’s stole in the future. Thanks for pointing out the relevant paragraph in the catechism.
