释义 |
Background and viewsHarrison was baptised in a Methodist church and brought up in Presbyterianism. He spent a few years with a Lutheran mission in New Guinea, where he became a Roman Catholic in 1972. Harrison is doctrinally conservative. While opposing some interpretations of the Second Vatican Council allegedly made by progressive and Modernists, he also opposes what he considers excessive criticism of the actual texts of that council by some traditionalist Catholics. His main published work is Religious Liberty and Contraception (Melbourne: John XXIII Fellowship, 1988), in which he argues for the doctrinal continuity (non-contradiction) between Vatican II's Declaration on Religious Liberty (Dignitatis Humanae) and the earlier papal encyclicals on church, state and religious tolerance. He concludes that the kind of doctrinal development represented by Dignitatis Humanae does not, as some{{Who|date=September 2010}} have claimed, set a magisterial precedent for more radical changes such as a hypothetical future papal reversal or mitigation of Catholic teaching against contraception.{{Citation needed|date=September 2010}} Harrison is also one of the few young earth creationists among Catholics.[3][4][5] However, he does not share the absolute geocentrism of other Catholic creationists such as Robert Sungenis. Harrison is also an opponent of Sedevacantism and, in 2000, authored a tract entitled A Heretical Pope would Govern Validly but Illicitly. In this tract he based his argument on the 1945 legislation of Pope Pius XII concerning a papal election, Vacantis Apostolicæ Sedis.[6] The papal legislation declared, in part: "None of the Cardinals may in any way, or by pretext or reason of any excommunication, suspension, or interdict whatsoever, or of any other ecclesiastical impediment, be excluded from the active and passive election of the Supreme Pontiff. We hereby suspend such censures solely for the purposes of the said election; at other times they are to remain in vigor."{{Citation needed|date=September 2010}} CriticismSedevacantists have made rebuttals, claiming to refute the article A Heretical Pope would Govern Validly but Illicitly.[7][8] Richard Ibranyi (a sedevacantist author and speaker) wrote against Harrison.[9] References1. ^ {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100414030748/http://www.catholic.com/thisrock/2006/0612fea4.asp |date=April 14, 2010 }} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.rtforum.org |title=Welcome to the Roman Theological Forum |publisher=Rtforum.org |date= |accessdate=2013-04-30}} 3. ^Early Vatican Responses to Evolutionist Theology, Living Tradition, Organ of the Roman Theological Forum, May 2001. 4. ^Did woman evolve from the beasts?
