Jamie said:"And finally - to Raoul and CM who will no doubt object that we should pray for God to provide rather than eat the corpse - perhaps that is WHAT God is providing. Perhaps it was the prayers of those people in the plane crash that led God to allow certain of their friends to perish in the crash to provide them the food. Maybe cannibalism WAS the answer to the prayers.
This is satire, right? Please tell me you're inspired by Jonathan Swift and just love a good satire. Saying it's not a sin and just gross is one thing, but to say God answers someone's prayers by providing them with a dead body is borderline blasphemous.
God could have provided the plane-crash survivors with a better location to crash in, near a Sizzler or something -- maybe He didn't like those dudes. Maybe they took advantage of girls after their soccer games and so via divine justice He got them to cannibalize each other as they cannibalize women. He knew they would never repent, because He knew their hearts. I'm not slandering or spreading rumors about them, I know nothing about them, I'm saying maybe there was a justice to their fate that we don't know about.
I was once talking about Helen Keller with the priest of CMRI and mentioned how she was Order of Eastern Star, female Freemason. I suggested that God saw to it that she was born with all these handicaps because He knew her heart before she did. What I meant was that He knew she would have a deep hatred of Him. He thought the only way to potentially save her was to put her in such dire physical need, blind, deaf, and dumb, that she would have to turn to Him as her only relief. Instead she uses her free will to become a female Mason. This is defiance in its purest form, except for Satan and the fallen angels themselves.
I am extremely sensitive about this cannibalism topic and you will not get me to agree. I have thought about it a lot since I'm essentially waiting for America to crash any day now. The Church may not have said it's a sin, and God may forgive it -- or He may not -- but I would choose to die in the most wretched way possible before eating another human being. I would walk far away from the corpse so as not to be tempted by it and I would keep on walking until I couldn't remember where it was. If bodies were all around me... I don't know what I'll do. God has given me some graces to resist temptations but I have never been starving to death before.
I'm not sure I'd want to go on living after having eaten a human. There is something about it that is so taboo. I think that's why Disney made the film Alive, the devil knows just how repugnant such an action is to God.
A cannibal who eats humans before his conversion is a different story.
