5/9/2007 - Catholic dilemma

This is sort of a pop quiz. I recently heard this on the radio from the mouth of a bishop in good standing within the Catholic church. He described a situation, and what good Roman Catholics do in that situation, following doctrines recently confirmed by Pope Benedict XVI. I wonder if any of my regular visitors know the answer. It isn't a difficult question, just something you may or may not know.

The situation: a ship capsizes in the Pacific. Two Catholic sailors wash ashore on a desert island, along with canned food, a can opener, a GPS device, and a lifeboat. With the GPS device they determine, that they could row the lifeboat to the nearest populated island in three weeks, but they also determine that they have just about enough food to support only one of them for three weeks. What should they do and why?

5/9/2007 - Catholic Dilemma

Posted by SilverWind

Well I do not know what the new doctrines of the Pope are, but I will give my opinion anyway. To me it seems that they both ought to just stay together upon the island, becasue if the are Catholics, they should not be afried to die anyway, to ascaned to heaven is suppose to be a good thing for them, so they should stay together instead of one leaving the other to die alone and saving himself.

Yep, they have to stay on the island and pray for rescue, or a safe passage into the afterlife. They can't decide that one of them is going to stay behind and die, because that would be suicide and that's strictly forbidden. They can only stay behind together and leave their destiny in the hands of God. That for some reason is not considered suicide. The Catholic church does not condone sacrifice in this matter.
