Also, we read in the Book of Genesis that animals were created to be at the service of man, for food and to help with work etc. yet they are to be cared for with respect, because they are creatures of God. Nevertheless, if you inadvertently caused the death of an animal through negligence their is no *serious* sin involved, because it was not done maliciously. For sure your sorrow and contrition for the incident and the fact that you formally confessed this incident you can be assured at this point that God has forgiven you, and that the incident was not a matter of serious sin.<br />May God bless you and your loved ones,<br />Glenn Dallaire Glenn Dallairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14335880223972671663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402685764467628731.post-70699695772118045272015-10-31T23:44:45.127-04:002015-10-31T23:44:45.127-04:00Through negligence on my part with no malice I cau...Through negligence on my part with no malice I caused the death of an animal I went to confession and the priest made light of the event, is that because the church doesn't believe animals have souls or because he could see how deeply sorry I was?

Hi Anonymous,
To reply to your question, the Cath...<br />Hi Anonymous,<br />To reply to your question, the Catholic church has NEVER speculated or even ventured a guess in reagrds to the age of the earth--The Church leaves such matters to the scientists. One thing is for sure, those christian denominations and individuals that speculate and say that the earth is such and such years old ARE WRONG to make such a pronouncement because the Bible (for which they base such speculations)is NOT a science book and the Holy Scriptures were written with the only concern being spiritual matters for the salvation of souls. <br /><br />So, to answer your question, the Catholic church has no opinion as to how old the earth is.<br /><br />Best wishes and may God bless you and your loved ones,<br />Glenn DallaireGlenn Dallairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14335880223972671663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402685764467628731.post-65299752236860683922012-11-29T11:14:38.143-05:002012-11-29T11:14:38.143-05:00Just a simple question for everyone here: how old ...Just a simple question for everyone here: how old is the earth?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402685764467628731.post-81930609162756666702010-12-05T02:23:34.879-05:002010-12-05T02:23:34.879-05:00There is a statue of St. Francis in Assisi surroun...There is a statue of St. Francis in Assisi surrounded by a grate so that no one can touch the statue.

I went over and read it.<br /><br />There's another animal story with regards to the Saints. This one was in Scotland. I think it was St. Giles, whose name is on the Protestant Cathedral in Edinburgh. <br /><br />He was living as a hermit in the woods when a hind [another name for a deer] was running away from a group of hunters. The deer sought refuge in Giles' cave, and it protected him from being shot at by the hunters' arrows. Because of this, the hind and the arrows are St. Giles' emblems in art.<br /><br />I forgot about St. Rocco [Roch] and the dog who saved his life! There's another 'dog and Saint' story as well: St. Margaret of Cortona was living in sin with a nobleman in his castle in Italy. He went out hunting one day; and when he failed to return, his dog came back to let Margaret know in his 'doggy way' that something was wrong. The dog led her to a spot in the woods, where it dug under a pile of leaves. The dead body of her paramour was found, murdered. This was the cause of her conversion. She left the castle with the son she had by the nobleman, she became a penitent in the Third Order of St. Francis, and became a Saint!<br /><br />Barb in NYAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402685764467628731.post-11521667772715490852010-12-04T09:36:15.048-05:002010-12-04T09:36:15.048-05:00Hi Barb!
