Evidence of a Vibrant Social Ministry Lacking

[St_Francis]

…Another is that it is taught in primary Catholic schools that victims are to state outright what it calls for to compensate for a wrong committed against him…

Is this a Canadian thing? I have never heard of it as a Catholic idea.

St Francis:

Psalm 130, Places pardons in the same context has forgiveness.

“Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy.” St. Francis

St. Francis is saying that he(personally) does not have the liberty to express doubt, but to mature his Faith. The former becomes a mode to maturation of his Faith. He does so by exercising unconditional pardons to those who injure him.

Jesus states to forgive seventy time seven, not to satisfy requests to extend forgiveness seventy time seven.

Lastly we need to move from individual contexts to a collective.

In 2Cor2,6 the collective saw fit to exercise their right to the common good by the application of indefinite sentencing. Paul envisaged the completion to this judicial procedure. He foresaw closure and reinstatement into society. He sensed an intrinsic wrong in punishment of this man to his dying days, and reminded them to continue to the next stage.

Additionally, since a condition is part of the pardon process, it is actually classed has a continuation of sentencing, since it is at the condition stage where he is given the conditions(sentencing) that restore justice to the victim. A pardon would be assumed after all conditions of his case are satisfied, in fact, a pardon is synonymous with closure. How could it be any other way? If Divine Justice is the ethical collective model, then why does our temporal and purgatorial repayment result in closure and not an unending process?

…that it is taught in primary Catholic schools that victims are to state outright what it calls for to compensate for a wrong committed against him.

We are fortunate to have 5 Mt 23-26 to give us some time scales of expectation for judicial dealings. This paragraph stresses urgency, and implies systems that are receptive and obliging. We are made to understand sentencing must be stated outright and not perpetually hung onto if reconciliation is to be realized. The trial must end and restoration a real possibility. Christ doesn’t expect an answer that they aren’t finished having their day with him.

This is one case. The Old Testament also makes several mentions of conduct of leaders(nations,society), and of oppression and so on. It instructs governments to be merciful to it’s subjects and warns them of misconduct.

Now I understand better what you are saying; I’m sorry I misunderstood you.
