Also worthy of note, though it may seem obvious to many: the Galileo Affair has absolutely nothing to do with the question of whether the Earth was flat or round. A surprisingly high number of people (including many Catholics) somehow believe that Galileo's revolutionary claim was that "the Earth was round, in contrast to the dominant opinion at the time that the Earth was flat", a statement which is amazingly wrong. The fact that the Earth is round and not flat was known since Antiquity (being easily proven through basic geometry) and had never been forgotten (see for instance Dante's The Divine Comedy: Hell is a cone going through the spherical Earth, down to the center of the spherical Earth (which, once crossed, means that gravity is reversed), Dante and Virgil emerging on the Southern Hemisphere). | |

Purgatory, as Catholic teaching goes, is not a third place where souls go after they die. Don't confuse it with other portrayals on television, either. It's a place/state where the souls of folks who are headed to Heaven are cleaned up of the effects of their sins before they enter the Pearly Gates. Catholics believe that the damage we cause from forgiven sins leaves tarnishing on the soul. As St. Paul notes, purgatory removes such impurities "with fire" before the soul can enter Heaven, for "Nothing unclean can enter Heaven." A good analogy of Purgatory is what happens if a young child is given a drink, purposefully spills it, and regrets it. The child can say "I'm sorry", and the mommy says "That's OK". But there's still a mess to be cleaned up from the effect of the spill. You can also think of purgatory as the "front porch" of Heaven, where God gives you a thorough scrub-down of any remaining impurities. Your mom loves you and wants you to come in for supper, sure. But you're going nowhere if you're tracking mud inside. | |

Much debate is possible about the attitudes of various Christians toward sex, and there have been very many problematic statements made and repressive attitudes held by Christians. However, a work does fail Religious Studies forever if it claims or implies that The Bible or any mainstream Christian denomination (including Catholics and mainstream fundamentalists such as evangelicals) actually teach that you shouldn't have sex because Sex is Bad. As opposed to "you shouldn't have sex unless you promise to stay with the person forever." You are also wrong if you believe that the Catholic Church teaches that sex is solely for procreation and that all forms of birth control are wrong. As of Humanae Vitae and Evangelium Vitae (official doctrinal letters issued by Pope Paul IV and Pope John Paul II respectively), the Church teaches that sex has two purposes: procreative and unitive (bringing the couple closer together and helping preserve the marriage). The Church is opposed to artificial contraception, maintaining that artificial methods disrupt both the unitive and procreative aspects of sex; however, natural methods, such as Natural Family Planning do not disrupt these aspects and are permissible if the couple has important reasons (physical, psychological, material or others) to limit the number of children or to postpone conception of a child. Specifically, Catholicism requires 4 facets for the sex to be considered a "good" act. It has to be Relational, Unifying, Humanistic, and Fecund. It can satisfy that through the law of double effect though, meaning intent, course, and principle can lead to it even if the result is not the production of life. Doing less is considered a privation, or lessening of the act (sort of like cutting down a redwood forest for the sake of obtaining a single toothpick). That said, natural family planning is a sufficient method. note This thinking actually did have pragmatic reasonings behind considering that, for thousands of years, artificial contraceptives, at best, didn't work. A quick look at TheOtherWiki will show you that ancient contraceptives were generally a haphazard mix of toxic substances that could easily kill a person if taken in large doses, so it makes sense the Church would take a stance against the practice. Especially when you realize that the oldest, safest, and sure-fire way of naturally preventing pregnancy in those days was the pull-out method. Seriously, it's even in the Book of Genesis. . | |
