(970 posts)Researching these subjects suggests a kind of infantilism, that makes it harder to face sins.
Some ethics encourage that. If you sin, but aren't adult enough to face it or understand it, then you are to be forgiven. Since you "know not what you do."
Which encourages a kind of false, willful and therefore culpable blindness or ignorance.
To be sure, educated people know that Ethics and Life are a vast and much-contended field of study. And few things are certain. But the problems and sins of the Churches are so vast, that today, in its case, we should remove the benefit of the doubt for, especially, the churches.
