  • Vol. 6, GOOD FAITH, Joseph F, Delaney

    One who is in this condition, so far as the violation of positive law, or even, in certain junctures, of the natural law, is concerned, is said to labour under an invincible error, and hence to be guiltless. This consideration is often invoked in behalf of those who are outside of the visible affiliation of the Catholic Church. . .
    "I receive Thee, redeeming Prince of my soul. Out of love for Thee have I studied, watched through many nights, and exerted myself: Thee did I preach and teach. I have never said aught against Thee. Nor do I persist stubbornly in my views. If I have ever expressed myself erroneously on this Sacrament, I submit to the judgement of the Holy Roman Church, in obedience of which I now part from this world." Saint Thomas Aquinas the greatest Doctor of the Church

  • No one is inculpably ignorant of natural law. That's silly.
    "Be kind; do not seek the malicious satisfaction of having discovered an additional enemy to the Church... And, above all, be scrupulously truthful. To all, friends and foes alike, give that serious attention which does not misrepresent any opinion, does not distort any statement, does not mutilate any quotation. We need not fear to serve the cause of Christ less efficiently by putting on His spirit". (Vermeersch, 1913).

    God has written the law on our hearts yes.  But He has written it on the law of fallen hearts.  They might feel guilt the first time but they won't know why.  They might think that feeling is excitement.  Adolescents have their parents pushing them into relationships that they know will be sɛҳuąƖ and they are taught "safe sex" in schools, but none of them are truly ignorant?  Really???

    Do you really believe that all people know within are culpable for not realizing that all sɛҳuąƖ acts are evil if they are open to life.  

    They will all tell you they are not aware are all of them culpable?
