Quote:I suggest watching Forgiving Dr. Mengele, its on Netflix, its about a Jewish woman who realizes the power of forgivness and forgives the Nazis. She was at Aushwitz for a long time.
I saw that and understood (but disagree with) her position. I understand The Jewish position that justice is not about vengeance.
PLUS I really do understand (but disagree with) the Christian position of "hate the sin but love the sinner" . At the Catholic boys school I attended,I was taught there are no unforgivable sins.
However, the issue is not that those rock spiders were forgiven, but that the Church put itself above the law to protect those creatures AS POLICY. (IE the position that canon law trumps civil law) The church CHOSE to protect itself rather than its weakest,most helpless members;children. THAT is despicable and unforgivable.
Your position of a Catholic apologist,defending the indefensible reveals you as a fool with limited capacity for independent thought.
