[Buddha-l] FW: Check out The Right's Stupidity Spreads--a WIDER view

[sjziobro at cs.com]

It isn't a matter of succumbing to Catholic dogma, but simply a matter of recognizing what constitutes actual, binding teaching on Catholics so that one may rightly judge whether or not Santorum is a faithful Catholic.  This seems reasonable, intellectually honest, and required in light of the fact that Prof. Cole rather arbitrarily claims as de fidei what in fact is not.  Whether you agree with any particular faith tradition, aren't you, as a rigorous scholar, nonetheless concerned with properly delimiting what adherents of that tradition consider seminal?

Well-- I strongly suspect that non-Catholics aren't ready  to succumb to the
dogmatic technicalities espoused by the Roman church. Only the true
believers in Catholic dogma and official hermeneutics would be bothered by
such distinctions.

Reminds me of the dogmatic insistence on caste parameters and claims of
transcendental purity and eternality of the highest Brahmanical shastric
rulings in India.

Joanna,
 

 This is an interesting site in many aspects.  Cole noted nothing that is
binding on the consciences of Catholics, and so Ric Santorum cannot, with
intellectual honesty, be conceived of as rejecting what is de fidei, that
is, doctrines that require of Catholics the assent of faith.  What Cole
illustrates, however, is the attempt of the American Catholic bishops to
utilize principles from the Church's social teaching, beginning with Leo
XIII's encyclical on capital and labor, Rerum Novarum, which he issued in
May of 1891.  Context here is important, because Catholic social teaching is
highly suspicious of State intrusion and control in the various Socialist
and Communist variants effectively embraced by the Democratic Party here in
the USA.  It is also critical of some of what comprises the GOP platform.

Regards,

Stan
