there any Catholic doctrine that talks about a government structure that Catholics support? Should we, as Catholics, support pro-democracy movements? Vatican City has its own government, but it is not a democratic government. What can we say to atheists about that?
當天主教教徒要轉投基督教教會的時候,為何某些基督教教會要求天主教徒再次受浸後才可以加入他們的團體?信友們不是已經成為天父的兒女嗎?領受入門聖事不是一生一次已足夠嗎?為何還是再次受浸?二者入門領洗的方式有否衝突?有否不合常理?
Is the incarnation of God in Jesus Christ the only true incarnation? Is there any other true incarnations?
身為教會的保守派信徒,對梵二會議感到失望甚至不喜歡怎麼辦? 譬如因為梵二引入的解放神學和神恩復興運動,還有因為這次會議對彌撒禮儀改變得太嚴重(甚至有時新教化了),加上最近教宗也因為他過於自由派的做法也被十九位神父聯暑促定他為異端。
California’s bill SB360 on child abuse learned in confessionals. I know the Scripture says Jesus gave the apostles authority to absolve sins; but does the Bible say all has to be kept confidential? I understand the practicality of confidentiality- otherwise many people won’t want to confess- but if a Catholic is truly repentant for child abuse, shouldnt he/she be willing to face imprisonment? If that’s the case then shouldn’t priests have no issue handing them over to police?
既然天主教會相信只有天主教會才是耶穌親自建立、由宗徒傳下來的普世大公教會,那麼對於其他教會,他們的聖事有效用嗎?例如東正教會的聖體用的是酵餅,那麼他們的聖體會變成主耶穌的身體嗎?天主教徒又能否去聖公會或其他新教教會領聖餐呢?
請問中國道家天人合一的思想和天主教的神人合一(union with God) 能相融/相通嗎?天主教怎麼看待道家對「天」的理解?有古人對天的理解是父, 是賜予我們生命的一種力量/本體,這樣的理解好像和天主教很相似。
