Of course I believe Catholicism to be true. If you had taken a logic course, buffalo, you would see that it doesn’t follow from your argument that Catholicism should be taught in public schools.

Please make an argument for why we should deny teaching children the fullness of truth.

Thank ThomasToo; I had assume buffalo knew enough logic to see that point; I appreciate your adding it. There are scientific and technological truths involved in making improvised explosive devices, but that doesn’t mean this subject should be taught in school.

Lol - unbelievable.

Then chemistry has to be eliminated by your logic.

But now we are getting to the heart of the matter.

Who decides what is dangerous? :hmmm:

Shouldn’t we be concerned with dangers to the soul?

ricmat, if you have visited the United States you know that they have people living there from many different parts of the world, representing many different cultures. It is a pluralistic culture, unlike, for example, and Islamic state where the Qur’an is the sole authority and is implemented by sharia.

I’m beginning to see a pattern here… First, teaching Catholicism is in a category with sharia law. Next, it is in a category with improvised explosive devices. :hmmm:

I agree, unbelievable. But no LOL’s here.

We should be concerned with dangers to the soul. But unfortunately, sensitivity to the pluralistic multi-cultural concerns of those who deny truth has to be taken into consideration apparently.

I do not presume to peak for StA but I think the key point is that Catholicism is believed to be true. The rules of calculus, chemistry and the English language are true. Schools–at least public schools–are only concerned with what is true not about what you believe to be true, especially considering that your neighbors whose children attend public school too may believe Hinduism (or one of a dozen other religions you don’t want to be taught as fact) to be truth.

and the devil creeps in and displaces the transmission of important truths…

OK - then we ban evolution - it is believed to be true.

By the way - public schools are not only concerned about what is true.

I would hope that StA as a Catholic Theologian would actually -]think/-] know that Catholicism** IS **true. But if that’s not what she -]thinks/-] knows, it would explain many things we see posted here.
 
ThomasToo said:
You realize that it is possible for some–but not all–of the Bible to be historically true? I would very much disagree with the supposition that everything in the Bible is true or even that most of it is but my issue with the historicity of Jesus is not the question here.

Because people like to justify illegal things. You really think offering a sectarian prayer does not violate the spirit–if not the letter–of the establishment clause of the First Amendment?

Segregation by race violated the Fourteenth Amendment’s equal protection clause but that didn’t keep it from being the law (and fact) of the land for many years.

Uh, where was the Supreme Court prior to 1964? And now add the segregation distraction card :rolleyes:

Suppositions are not the issue, the defense of the truth is. Therefore, there are no scientific, peer reviewed studies examining any book in the Bible. All that gets posted here are opinions - some with a little extra emotional oomph but opinions nonetheless.

The goal for Catholics is to uphold the truth and not the current trends in society that wish to cause doubt or confusion. Evolution is not a fact here. Pope Benedict has said what he knows to be true about this issue.

God bless,

Buffalo, I’m getting the distinct impression you have never studied either philosophy or logic. The most basic principles of argument seem to escape you.

Yes, it’s true as far as science is concerned, and better supported with every passing year.

Using my faulty logic - your claim is evolution is more true than Catholicism.

Other posters - please show me the fault of my logic.

Better supported by what? The ever increasing complexity of the human genome which, even given millions of years, does not just appear by itself?

God bless,

Shame on you. Go back to reading Heresy for Dummies 😃
