What?!
Sharia is a system of ...Sharia Catholicism?<br />What?! <br />Sharia is a system of how Islamic government should operate and specific punishments given for specific sins.Sharia does not advocate monarchy in the sense that you describe it, Sharia advocates for a Caliph which is not just a secular head but also a religious one. The Caliph legitimizes its own power meaning that power being abused cannot be prevented.<br /><br />Traditional Catholicism only specifies monarchy as the form of government but does not give specific punishments for specific sins. Thus it is not sharia-like. Monarchy in Catholicism is only a secular power which is legitimized by the Papacy which is the religious power.In this system if a monarch abuses his power he would be excommunicated and likely dethroned by his own people. <br /><br />Again traditional Catholicism is not anything close to sharia. No one is going to be required by religious law to be stoned to death for adultery, though a punishment may be put in place the punishment would never be backed religiously and thus be unmovable. In Sharia specific sins are punished with specific punishments which are religiously inspired.<br />In Catholicism specific sins are condemned but they aren't given specific punishments neither are they even required to be punished by the State. <br /><br />Catholic government- The Church states what is wrong. The State decides whether or not it should be punished(by government) and in what way.<br /><br />Sharia government- The Quran states what is wrong and that the State should punish it in extremely specific and detailed ways.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08248540898161266405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-63458133245167163842016-07-17T21:49:37.188-05:002016-07-17T21:49:37.188-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.RainbowBubbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04523043602718005834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-26726877275091259192016-07-17T07:00:02.365-05:002016-07-17T07:00:02.365-05:00Thank you Mad Monarchist !
While you refer to you...Thank you Mad Monarchist !<br />While you refer to your article as 'Brief Thoughts on the Terrorist Attack in Nice"...I would add...they are profound and highly accurate thoughts as well!<br />In my experiences, I find so many are utterly shocked at the word Sharia Law and all that it implies.<br />I would say to them, that it was Catholic Sharia that led to much of the progress that we see in the world to this day....all in all a good thing.<br />It is my opinion that France, would be an entirely different place, a safer, less divided place, if the Monarchy of Sharia-type Catholicism were in effect.<br /><br />respectfully, Observer Julesjuleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06558180413271953792noreply@blogger.com
