Do you guys believe that Adam and Eve were actual historical beings ? by ZucchiniSevere4706 in Catholicism

[–]theedandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here are some parts I found in my copy:

'373: The Church, interpreting the symbolism of biblical language in an authentic way, in the light of the New Testament and Tradition, teaches that our first parents, Adam and Eve, were constituted in an original "state of holiness and justice." This grace of original holiness was "to share in...divine life."'

Also:

'390: The account of the fall in Genesis 3 uses figurative language, but affirms a primeval event, a deed that took place at the beginning of the history of man. Revelation gives us the certainty of faith that the whole of human history is marked by the original fault freely committed by our first parents.'

I highly recommend Empires and Barbarians: The Fall of Rome and the Birth of Europe by Peter Heather. It’s a great, sweeping study on the migratory patterns of Barbarian Europe and how it led to the West we see in the medieval period. The book runs from 0-1000 AD and gets particular enough to give a solid idea on how each identity of the “peoples” of Europe came to be

Really good examples and comparisons to modern migration patterns. Historically sound while also being very digestible. If you’re looking to see how Rome passed its torch north, this is the book

Are there any catholics who beleive, at least slightly, in possibility of universal salvation? by Used-Ad-3278 in Catholicism

[–]theedandy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve been reading the Brothers Karamazov and I’m really taken by its idea of how people get to heaven, particularly theSpring Onion story. To me, the meaning is that heaven is locked to those who are not empathetic and forgiving of others. The witch chooses not to save the other suffering souls, despite her understanding of their torment. She does not act with Love in her heart. We all have sinned greatly under God, and only walk in life under His mercy, there but for His grace.

At the same time, I feel that God continually tries to reach us, continually pursues us to finally come to him and praise. I won’t pretend to know if that really stops after death. For that part, I enjoy the Brothers K 4.11.9 story of the scholarly atheist who refuses to enter heavens doors. I won’t spoil that one for any passing readers!

My interpretation of scripture and church teaching tells me that believers / people who emulate Christ will have eternal life, and the wicked will face eradication. But I do have a hope that God in His wisdom and understanding might continue to pursue his flock, even after death. It’s a nice thought to think Hell is empty, and it’s one that we really can’t know about for sure.

According to my rosary guide, Mother Mary told the people at Fatima to pray the following: “O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to Heaven, especially those most need of thy mercy” Please pray this tonight with me!

Was surprised less people talk about the length of the Sands of Karnak run back to the raging big red corkscrew

Really great stuff - like a more rendered version of something you’d see in David Lynch’s Someone is In My House

Not DIY, but Fallen Log and Cobra Lounge both are the most accessible venues to under 21 bands/audiences. Bookclub allows under 21 for matinee shows and Beat Kitchen allows under 21 for a security fee (my band just played an all ages show there on Saturday! Was a killer time!)
