But they also want the right to control how and when they do it, as they have to run the risks, so let’s let them have that. While these warning signs are not law per se, most canonists accept them when examining modern religious movements. The idea that life starts at conception exists because ( checks notes) one old guy living in Italy said so and the current guy living there also says so. The difference between a cult leader and Jesus is that Jesus is the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity.

The feeling of shame that comes after sin is useful insofar as it leads us to contrition and repentance.The outlaw had no legal recourse and the attacker would not be held legally accountable for his actions.

The ‘Satanic panic’ of the 1980s brought with it a wave of mass hysteria over cult Satanists ritually abusing children in daycare centres, something that seems entirely to have been the product of false memories.It’s a scientific evaluation that tells us how quickly we use one year’s worth of resources in the world. If anyone says that the good works of the one justified are in such manner the gifts of God that they are not also the good merits of him justified; or that the one justified by the good works that he performs by the grace of God and the merit of Jesus Christ (of whom one is a living member), the justified does not truly merit an increase of grace, and eternal life, provided that one dies in the state of grace, the attainment of this eternal life, as well as an increase in glory, let him be anathema. Such believers are scattered throughout the Catholic community and the vast majority of them are charismatics.

When in doubt, just lump the world’s largest religion in with fanatical fringe groups to win an argument. There are so many doctrines and practices and rituals in Catholicism that are nowhere mentioned in the New Testament.Some of these were Christian in nature, for example the ‘Jesus Movement’; others were heavily influenced by the pop-cultural ubiquity of pseudo-Eastern and New Age thought: the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (aka the Hare Krishna), modern Wicca, Scientology. If anyone says that after the reception of the grace of justification the guilt is so remitted and the debt of eternal punishment so blotted out to every repentant sinner, that no debt of temporal punishment remains to be discharged either in this world or in purgatory before the gates of heaven can be opened, let him be anathema. Canon law discourages a superior from acting as confessor or spiritual director to a member under his charge. There might not be Satanists lurking round every corner, lying in wait to kidnap children or sacrifice bunny rabbits to Satan, but the dangers of spiritual, emotional and sexual abuse in small-scale, unsupervised religious communities, particularly those isolated from the mainstream or dominant culture, is real enough. An indulgence is partial or plenary according as it removes either part or all of the temporal punishment due to sin.
