“There can be no doubt of the lawfulness of conserving and defending one’s own race,even in war, and the point of laying down one’s life, if circumstances demand this.”
- Fr. Bonaventure Hinwood, Race, Reflections of a Theologian
@chudhapa well yeah but heredity still disposes the body which informs the soul, so it really does shape intellectual and moral qualities to a limited but still real degree. so we can say race influences those qualities without making them completely deterministic
@chudhapa He himself says race influences and alters your intellectual and moral qualities, but only to some extent, as the idea of race influencing it to the full extent would be contradictory to Christianity.
