I’ll explain it to you even though I suspect you must already understand and are prehaps being deliberately obtuse?
Very true. I’m sure you didn’t need a bishop to tell you that.
But they are still Catholic by the Sacraments which have made an indelible mark on their soul, not just in name.I’ll explain it to you even though I suspect you must already understand and are prehaps being deliberately obtuse?
I think of CINO as someone who intentionally disobeys on the five non-negotiables. I clarified that to the other poster. Thus obedient and disobedient.
Is it really that hard to understand?
Well now, Abbysinia gave her definition of CINO, a rather broad one BTW, and you give me now a much narrower one.I’ll explain it to you even though I suspect you must already understand and are prehaps being deliberately obtuse?

Yes, either obedient ones or disobedient ones.
I wish that those who throw CINO around would understand this.
I see the same problem with Catholics calling people CINO. They risk them stopping to visit the Catholic hospital and might seek care elsewhere.
Different for us all I assume.Well now, Abbysinia gave her definition of CINO, a rather broad one BTW, and you give me now a much narrower one.
Hard to determine now which of you two to trust.
If each of us had a different definition for various terms, all those terms would be meaningless.Different for us all I assume.
This is the problem with terms like far left wing/far right wing. To me these terms essentially mean anyone who is far enough to one specific side that their ideology has a niche appeal to only a certain group, so pretty much by definition Obama couldn’t be a far left winger. The problem with setting it as some unchanging thing is that the standards change over time. Any major American politician for example would be considered a far left liberal if you transplanted him to 1500s England and they were advocating for things like universal suffrage and lowering the monarchies power.
Well I would have thought if they know teaching and the Catholic Church’s answer to the degree they claim, then understanding the concept of as Baer put it, “still Catholic by the Sacraments which have made an indelible mark on their soul” would not be a problem.I wish that those who throw CINO around would understand this.
While I don’t care for the term CINO, what people are trying to distinguish between is non-practicing Catholics; practicing Catholics who, though still sinners, know and agree with what the Church teaches; and practicing Catholics who know what the Church teaches, disagree, spread their heretical views in public, and thereby create scandal.
No but I did need him to tell me who is a Catholic. That was before Catholic “Answers” so I’m glad I did.Very true. I’m sure you didn’t need a bishop to tell you that.
Anyone who demandsRich, I was listening to “On Point” the other night. Many of the callers stated those who opposed the HHS mandate were “extremist.” That is, 2,000 years of Catholic Teaching were labeled “extremist” by those on the left.
“Extremist” is the left-wing code for Traditionalists.
Ask him what a heretic is…
The standard I am using is the unchanging moral law. That bound us over 2000 years ago and does so today. An example would be endorsing legalized abortion. That is left of the moral law, far left in fact.
Try “heterodox.”
It is not intended as a theological term. It is a shorthand term used to convey that a person claims to be Catholic while rejecting the authority of the Church.I wish that those who throw CINO around would understand this.
