Quote:This is interesting. Do you know if this is a common teaching in the Catholic church or was isolated to your school?
My school did not have its own peculiar interpretations of doctrine as far as I'm aware.I've always thought the protestant notion of unforgivable sin to be absurd--IF God possesses infinite qualities of love,compassion and forgiveness, he must and willl forgive literally ANY sin,as long as forgiveness is sought.
That is end of my limited interest in this topic. I have not been a believing Catholic for over 40 years. Today,my interest is mildly academic.Mainly,my feelings are of a visceral loathing for the Catholic Church as a corrupt and parasitic institution, which is a carbuncle on the arse of humanity.I have a much lower opinion of the evangelicals and other dogmatic fundamentals.
