It would be helpful if the "compendium" references actually -referenced- the catechism...don't you think? Whats the key? For example, Compendium 153 -is not- Catechism 153. Or, if it is......it's worse than I thought.......
Heres what is referenced as "Compendium 153"...in that article:
Here's the catechism, 153:
Here's catechism 152, compare this with your post before last, wherein you quoted the article....referenced as "compendium 152"
Am I missing something? Are they actually referring to the catechism? Is that, btw, how you arrived at your current opinion on human rights? You poured over the catechism? Hopefully no one will be expected to believe that...lol.
Now, heres The Compendium....152 and 153.....that's "Compendium of the Catholic Church", mind you...
Heres what is referenced as "Compendium 153"...in that article:
Quote:The fundamental source of human rights is human nature, which is to say, that nature as created by God. God, then, may be said to be the ultimate guarantor as He is the ultimate foundation of human rights. Human rights are therefore different from civil rights, the latter being based upon the positive laws of the State. What the State gives, the State may give away. But human rights are not given and taken.
Human rights are simply given by God. They are not to be taken by the State or by any human being without giving offense to God. "The ultimate source of human rights is not found in the mere will of human being, in the reality of the State, in public powers, but in man himself and in God his Creator." (Compendium, No. 153)
Here's the catechism, 153:
Quote:When St. Peter confessed that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, Jesus declared to him that this revelation did not come "from flesh and blood", but from "my Father who is in heaven". [Mt 16:17; cf. Gal 1:15; Mt 11:25.] Faith is a gift of God, a supernatural virtue infused by him. "Before this faith can be exercised, man must have the grace of God to move and assist him; he must have the interior helps of the Holy Spirit, who moves the heart and converts it to God, who opens the eyes of the mind and 'makes it easy for all to accept and believe the truth.'" [DV 5; cf. DS 377; 3010.] [552, 1814, 1996, 2606]...............................?
Here's catechism 152, compare this with your post before last, wherein you quoted the article....referenced as "compendium 152"
Quote:One cannot believe in Jesus Christ without sharing in his Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit who reveals to men who Jesus is. For "no one can say "Jesus is Lord", except by the Holy Spirit", [1 Cor 12:3.] who "searches everything, even the depths of God. . No one comprehends the thoughts of God, except the Spirit of God." [1 Cor 2:10-11.] Only God knows God completely: we believe in the Holy Spirit because he is God. [243, 683]Just to be thorough, I'll repost your chosen quote.
The Church never ceases to proclaim her faith in one only God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. [232]

Perhaps it's the page numbers on a specific printing? Or...I don't know, you tell me, why are these references so hard to hunt down?
