@luisdizon@catholiccom (2 of 2) So:
Original sin as guilt is washed away in Baptism.
The wounds of fallen nature remain until final glorification.
The Christian life is therefore not just pardon, but ongoing sanctification.
@luisdizon@catholiccom (1 of 2) Baptism removes original sin, but not all the effects of the Fall.
In Catholic theology, concupiscence isn’t itself sin in the baptized. It’s the lingering disorder of fallen human nature: the inclination toward sin that remains even after sanctifying grace is restored.
@fraynelson (1 de 2) Apreciado Padre, gracias por abrir el discernimiento.
Quizá la clave no sea callar ni amplificar, sino cómo hablar. Detrás de cada fenómeno hay personas concretas, y nuestra primera actitud debe ser siempre la CARIDAD.
(Sigo en el siguiente...)
@fraynelson (2 de 2 sigue)
Podemos reafirmar con claridad la ANTROPOLOGÍA CRISTIANA y, al mismo tiempo, evitar burlas o descalificaciones. Verdad y respeto no se oponen.
Tal vez nuestro mejor aporte sea claridad sin agresividad y acompañamiento sin confusión. Y ud. así ya lo ha hecho antes.
@crean_fr (5/5) We should critique ideas rigorously.
We should not imply verdicts the Church has not rendered.
Serious theology requires precision, not escalation.
@crean_fr (1 of 5) Fr. Thomas cites a private remark from Crd. Ratzinger suggesting Rahner’s theology might one day require conciliar condemnation.
That is a serious statement. But we should be careful how it is used.
@crean_fr (4/5) If Rahner’s positions conflict with defined doctrine, the argument should show precisely where. That is how theology proceeds.
Invoking possible future condemnation raises rhetorical intensity without clarifying the doctrinal issue.
@crean_fr (3/5)It is also worth noting that Ratzinger publicly defended and supported von Balthasar, even writing the preface to his book on hope and praising his theological work. That historical fact complicates attempts to frame all post-conciliar theologians under the same suspicion.
@crean_fr (2 of 5) A private letter is not a magisterial act. Ratzinger never publicly declared Rahner heretical. The Church never censured him. He died in full communion.
Speculating about a “future council” risks turning theological critique into anticipatory judgment.
@americamag Helpful critiq, but caution: Catholic theology can't be reduced to either Christian Zionism or its negation. Scripture must be read Christologically, yet the Church also affirms Jewish dignity and rejects supersessionism. Theology must not become a proxy for partisan geopolitics.
@ChristopherHale Important read, but caution: calling this a “Catholic left” imports partisan labels into the Church. CST transcends U.S. binaries. The Church’s mission is not to build political blocs, but to proclaim the full moral vision from life to migration to religious liberty.
@RyanTAnd Catholic teaching:The Jewish people remain beloved of God; antisemitism is a grave sin (Rm11:29). JesusChrist fulfills Israel and the promises. The modern State of Israel is a political one, not a biblical mandate. Land promises are fulfilled in Christ, not geopolitics (Jn 18:36)
@BishopBarron Catholicism rejects communism & unrestrained capitalism.
Communism denies the soul & absorbs the person into the State.
Capitalism without moral limits reduces the person to a consumer or tool.
The Church defends human dignity, solidarity, & subsidiarity against both.
CA 13; 40.
@BishopBarron Catholicism rejects both collectivism & individualism.
Collectivism: the person belongs to the system.
Individualism: the person belongs only to himself.
The Gospel: the person belongs to God & is made for communion.
The human person is subject, not tool, of society.
GS 25.
@fraynelson@elhigadodmarita Rony no hay más ciego que aquel que no quiere ver. Cómo cuidarnos, hacer la tarea de entender lo que el Magisterio propone y estar dispuestos a salir de la burbuja. La pregunta: es posible hacerlo a punta de leer tweets y videos que repiten lo que dice mi burbuja de información?
In a recent tweet, the Pope acknowledged the good happening through Catholic media.
But he also addressed something that’s been bothering me for some time:
The faith developed online is not enough.

@MagisCenter I mentioned before in FB, but in case you didn't got the feedback the magisterial corpus of info needs update, check what it answered when I asked about Dilexi Te and even provided the url
