Felicitations, Fellow Philosophers!
Last month's meeting was quite enjoyable. Many thanks to the Kostiuk family for hosting our meeting! Father began the meeting with prayer and the continuing discussion of Cicero's Discourses on Old Age, as Odysseus the Box safely passed on his journey from Areopagite to Areopagite. When he came in to land by Father Ward, his unloaded cargo included:
- When, how, and why was Areopagus started?
- What is Heaven like?
- Is it morally wrong to be involved in the animal rights movement? (valuing animal life as being equal to human life)
- Is it a sin to kill someone in self-defense?
- How should one deal with Catholics who do not act like Catholics and are extremely "diverse"?
- How do you defend the authenticity of the Bible?
- What happens to your guardian angel if you go to hell?
- How often should one receive Holy Communion? I had heard that one should not receive the Holy Eucharist more than once a day.
- Is it better to a have a false religion than no religion?
- I would like to know more about intrusive thoughts. (e.g. what are they, how to deal with them)
- Is it moral to kill someone to stop them if you know they are going to kill an innocent person? (this would be before they are actually performing the act)
- Does the Garden of Eden still exist?
Have a Blessed Lent, Everyone!
In Christ,
Evelyn
