May be they are waiting to cannonise South Africa's first cardinal, Owen McCann, who was the founder of this paper. <br /><br />Thus,possibly, others at the newspaper, by default, may automatically be elevated to the altars on high!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6267813899560041797.post-85505250356370814122012-02-16T17:16:33.891+02:002012-02-16T17:16:33.891+02:00John, the problem is that the editor cannot see pa...John, the problem is that the editor cannot see past his preconceived idea that this is a personal attack on him, though I have never met him. <br /><br />The reality is that the Southern Cross has no justification for remaining silent on this important subject and its silence must lead any reasonable person to ask why this Catholic newspaper has remained silent when almost every other newspaper has published some or other article on this subject. <br /><br />I can find no reason, no mater how hard I try, to justify the silence of The Southern Cross on this important subject and so I must draw my own logical conclusions about their silence.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07098007440868887687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6267813899560041797.post-79671863488116615492012-02-16T10:21:06.666+02:002012-02-16T10:21:06.666+02:00It would appear that the Scross decided to delete ...It would appear that the Scross decided to delete your comment made on the article of “Catholic Conscience” Mark. You clearly must have rubbed the editor the wrong way.<br /><br />Funny, they don’t delete comments that are against Church teaching, even comments that are outright distasteful and insulting are kept posted.<br /><br />Truly shocking, though not at all surprising.John E Cunhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00936434655056046271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6267813899560041797.post-32924807782021160432012-02-15T14:33:55.598+02:002012-02-15T14:33:55.598+02:00"Conscience" is also a convenient word w..."Conscience" is also a convenient word which excuses the adamant contrary behaviour of any heretic, Gnostic, Arian, liberal or licentious person. <br /><br />“Conscience” is often used to excuse downright bad actions, even murder, theft, robbery, suicide, conspiracy, etc.<br /><br />A "conscience" which ignores the Ten Commandments’ or which bypasses it, is not a "conscience" but the malfunction of knowledge, reasoning, and intelligence required to fulfil the Divinely revealed laws which fulfil the laws of cause and effect. Thus by ignoring these Commandments natural law and ordinary integrity is easily dumbfounded into chaos and unnecessary suffering and rejection.<br /><br />A "conscience" which is built on misinformation which fails to seek truth and correction is a "dishonest" conscience which undermines one’s true Heavenly potential.<br /><br />By mixing "free will" with "conscience" and, by this, then, proceeding to justify Sin is an abomination of the purpose of Being.<br /><br />The strings of a good conscience are pulled, shaped and formed in a life-time by sound catechesis; excellent morals; a love of neighbour; love for the Church; a profound life of Grace; living the communion of Saints with the Immaculate Mother according to the Divine Will of the Blessed Trinity; being / becoming profoundly opposed to Sin and Evil because these are the destroyers of bodies, souls, conscience, and morals, malicious destroyers of countries, nations and states. <br /><br />I look forward to your comments about the Southern Cross’s views about conscience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
