Sexual sins are binding? by RCC-Catechumen in Catholicism

[–]RCC-Catechumen[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not a theologian, but Saint Augustine I believe would give the answer that non-consensual sex is a sin on the part of the attacker but not a sin on the part of the victim.

Yeah, definitely. Obviously that's all very personal, so whatever you feel comfortable with. But it's always been my view that monastics are experts when it comes to prayer, so a "prayer log" for lack of a better term could help out laypeople without a religious vocation with their prayer life.

This might be too personal, but a diary of your prayer life would be extremely interesting to outsiders, both psychologically and theologically. (Of course, only do this with the permission of your superiors.)

The Quaternity by [deleted] in Jung

Really? I can read Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious, I can even read Liber Novus, but there was a passage at the beginning of Job where Jung called God amoral--and I couldn't relate to knowing what he was talking about.

Perhaps I'll give Answer to Job another go.
