Social Teaching of the Catholic Church Christanon 12/21/18 (Fri) 18:03:59 9af6f7 No.744955

I got to stufy more the social teaching of the Catholic church, and got around to reading some encyclicals of the Popes

What about the modernism on the Chruch?

I read some encyclicals of Pope Leo XIII such as Rerum Novarum (http://w2.vatican.va/content/leo-xiii/en/encyclicals/documents/hf_l-xiii_enc_15051891_rerum-novarum.html) Libertas Preastantissimum (http://gardenofmary.com/on-the-nature-of-human-liberty-libertas-praestantissimum/)

But the Centesimus annus encyclical from Pope John Paul II is too modernist and bluntly socialist in some passages.

And clearly goes against the ideas of Pope Leo XIII I think.

What do my fellow Catholics think? Have you delved into Pope encyclicals?

We will all be nuns and priests on the new earth, friend.

Am not a Catholic. So this is only an outsider's comment.

The Church isn't a fossil but a dynamic body animated by the spirit of God. Discernment of the truth evolves over time. It doesn't mean that official teachings can contradict each other even if they come from two distinct eras (although context and language matter), but it does mean that the truth is progressively discerned as the members of the Church as a whole become more spiritually mature and experienced. This will culminate in the eschaton.

You shouldn't be distressed that a 20st century Pope finds a different way to express the truth and divine revelation than a 19th century Pope. Such a thing is allowed. Our perspective, if it is enlightened by the Holy Spirit, is not to be discarded, which is why even the saints disagree on how to express certain things.

Also, it is the job of the bishops to receive and interpret what previous bishops and councils taught. Let them handle it, if you are or are becoming a Catholic. You can always discuss it with your priest anyway, no?

Wow, that's a good question, but I'm going to say no probably not.

I believe our bodies will be perfect so there will be no need for any pooping or peeing.

Very interesting questions, my autismo friendo.

Papal encyclicals aren't infallible you know. Papal infallibility have only been invoked like 2 times since it was defined

I think eating would be a choice, not something that is required. Something for celebrations, an occasional activity for those who wish to do so.

It would be like for us now when we have an alcoholic beverage.

>Papal encyclicals aren't infallible

Then how do we know which are the right ones that we should follow?

Councils, ex cathedra, are marked with Papal Infallibility, Papal Encyclicals are marked with "religious assent", making them things worth knowing and (provided it does not contradict Scripture or Tradition) believing.

We should generally follow them all, however bearing in mind that they are not infallible and just the writings of one man.

It's really not a hard concept to grasp idk why we have to repeat this every time

So when they apperently contradict each other there is room for discussion?

Many of writings of John Paul II arguably contradict Leo XIII

You don't need to agree with the social teaching as far as I know.

Its a good thing imo not not mandatory.

Otherwise there could not be catholics in some right wing parties (a Catholic that joins a left one gets excommunicated)

Infallible statements by Popes has been norm even before the Vatican I and since the council there was three infallible statements. The immaculate conception and the assumption of Mary and when JPII said that women could never be priests.
