That the "future Church" would have different doctrines? Sister Carlotta was basically saying that non-Catholics can be saved as well, if through ignorance, or some appropriate excuse. Which is true. And it wouldn't change in in the future.<br />And yeah, perhaps I should excuse him considering he's not Catholic. But it still really bugs me. :) I wasn't blaming him so much as just venting my annoyance at the general ignorance of what the Church ACTUALLY teaches.<br /><br />Petra: Hopefully you'll like them. There seems to be a lot of disagreement about whether they're worth it or not. But personally, I thought the first two Shadow books were great, and I'm still glad I read the third one even though I didn't like it as much. There were still some really good parts. So I'm planning to eventually read the whole lot of them, and some of Card's other books as well.REDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11119540412455106441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722215513883191203.post-68408790509001102132013-02-15T11:43:54.703-08:002013-02-15T11:43:54.703-08:00Great review!

I do wish people would actually look at the Catechism and other Church documents before they attempt to explain what they think the Church says.Petrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13155924019089937579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722215513883191203.post-17773752987351748462013-02-15T07:00:28.185-08:002013-02-15T07:00:28.185-08:00P.

Keep in mind, too, that Card is a Mormon and so he may not be up-to-date (so to speak) on everything.Aquinas' Goosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338521183689896720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722215513883191203.post-63563037868906159162013-02-15T06:55:30.062-08:002013-02-15T06:55:30.062-08:00I think what card is doing there is making a comme...I think what card is doing there is making a comment on the "future" Church (and possibly commentary on the 'current' Church reception). If you go on to read <i>Speaker for the Dead</i> you'll find much Catholicism and hints of Catholicism. Remember Card is not writing about our current world.Aquinas' Goosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338521183689896720noreply@blogger.com
