Name one Catholic Dogma you know

[ShowersofRoses]

The Virgin Birth

 

[Niblo]

‘God, by His Providence, protects all that He has created,’ I.e. He preserves it from relapsing into nothingness. (First Vatican Council…Denzinger 1784).

 

[Niblo]

Six dogmas concerning Mary, rated as ‘De Fide’:

Mary is truly the Mother of God.

Mary was conceived without stain of original sin.

Mary conceived by the Holy Spirit without the co-operation of man.

Mary bore her Son without any violation of her virginal integrity (De Fide on the ground of the general promulgation of doctrine).

After the birth of Jesus Mary remained a virgin.

Mary was assumed body and soul into Heaven.

(c.f.: ‘Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma.’ …Dr. Ludwig Ott).

 

[Dovekin]

Mary conceived by the Holy Spirit without the co-operation of man.

Mary cooperated, so it was with the cooperation of man.

 

[LostSheep7]

Mary cooperated, so it was with the cooperation of man.

[RandomAlias]

Original Sin.

 

[TheOldColonel]

God is love.

 

[Niblo]

Exactly. Thank you.

 

[Dovekin]

Mary conceived by the Holy Spirit without the co-operation of man.

Why do you think it was phraed so awkwardly? Why not “the participation of a man”? Generally, “man” means something different from “a man.”

And that is not even touching on the role of the Son, fully God and fully man, in he process.

 

[gcshapero]

The authority of priests to forgive or retain sins

 

[Niblo]

Why do you think it was phraed so awkwardly? Why not “the participation of a man”? Generally, “man” means something different from “a man.”

And that is not even touching on the role of the Son, fully God and fully man, in he process.

My copy of Ott was first published in 1954. I guess ‘Church-speak’ was a little different then. The important fact is that Mary conceived without having sexual intercourse.
