Having trouble accepting this

[D0UBTFIRE]

The catechism is not infallible and neither are you. Just roll with it brother:

Philippians 4:6-7Contemporary English Version (CEV)

6 Don’t worry about anything, but pray about everything. With thankful hearts offer up your prayers and requests to God. 7 Then, because you belong to Christ Jesus, God will bless you with peace that no one can completely understand. And this peace will control the way you think and feel.

May the peace of The Lord fill your heart, soul and mind.

Wow, that’s some great advice. In general. I needed that! Thanks!

Vicarious self defense.

Should not be necessary in modern society in most cases.

Peace

You State the teaching set out in the Catechism quite succinctly!

I understand your points.

I just don’t see how the Church can be strictly pro-life, but then say it’s okay to kill someone when they are a threat. It almost hypocritical.

Hardly. The unborn are guaranteed to be innocent.

Thanks for your responses.

I don’t really understand why I am having such a hard time accepting this. I guess it’s just that I am straight up pro-life, no if, and, or buts. And it’s just hard for me to see the reasoning on why the church can be teaching full out pro-life morals, but then still stand by capital punishment.

And really, in all honesty, if you stand by CP, you’re really not “pro-life.” Because that’s a “but.”

Please confirm you would allow yourself or another innocent to be killed, rather than to kill in their defence. Then I will fully understand you when you say that YOU are “straight up pro-life”.
