By Gavin Ashenden, Catholic Herald - The latest reconfiguration of Catholic theology to emerge from Rome has come in the form of the document Dignitas Infinita, on human dignity and gender identity issues... Some of the background thinking to the document emerged when the Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, mused at the press conference launching it that one of the reasons why freedom of will and original sin had been downplayed in the document was that the Pope still liked to ponder on the question of whether perhaps, hell might be empty.

By Scott Hahn, St. Paul Center - In sprinkling the blood of the covenant on the Israelites, Moses was symbolizing God’s desire in this covenant to make them His family, His “blood” relations...
