Then (in your paradigm) you’ve just changed doctrines.

And the “dignity” argument will be just as applicable when applied in other circumstances where mortally stopping a person is necessary.

Defending your country via war? Inadmissible. Dignity.

Police stopping an aggreesor? Inadmissable.

Dad stopping a home invader? Dad is the violater here. Not the bad guy. Inadmissible.

So according to you (in principle) the Church is STILL getting it wrong in these areas.

By the way. Pope Francis thinks indefinite incarceration is an affront to human dignity too.
Archbishop Gomez (who wrote that very point last week) thinks so too.

(EDIT: That part from Archbishop Gomez about no indefinite incarceration seems to now be gone from the source that I read, so I retract this portion of mine for now. [Next time I will screen-capture it.])

So what other “developments” would you see coming with THAT?

However, it has also been mathematically proven that you can decompose a circle into finitely many Borel sets (think of these in this context as a countable combination of operations of countable intersection or countable unions of open or closed sets in the cartesian plane) and rearrange them into a square of the same area.

The problem with that is that the pieces do not have a Jordan curve boundary. So you won’t be able to cut these pieces out from the circle using a pair of scissors.

There are differences in the OT and the NT. For example, in the OT, God revealed himself and his rules to one group of people only. Those who were born in China were not included. But in the NT, God’s revelation is to be announced everywhere in the world.
