1. The Cathechism states: “Suicide contradicts the natural inclination of the human being to preserve and perpetuate life. It is gravely contrary to the just love of self.”
Explain how this church law affects those who had barbed wire syndrome at Auschwitz.
The Catechism also states: “We should not despair of the eternal salvation of persons who hve taken their own lives. By ways known to him alone, God can provide the opportunity for salutary repentance”. Explain how this church dogma affects those with barbed wire syndrome.
2. In Pope John Paul II encyclical Veritas Splendor, he writes that “Jesus brings God's commandments to fulfillment, particularly the commandment of love of neighbor, by interiorizing their demands and by bringing out their fullest meaning. Love of neighbor springs from a loving heart which, precisely because it loves, is ready to live out the loftiest challenges. Jesus shows that the commandments must not be understood as a minimum limit not to be gone beyond, but rather as a path involving a moral and spiritual journey towards perfection, at the heart of which is love.”
Explain how this excerpt from Pope John Paul II relates to Victor Frankl’s experience in what you have read in Man’s Search for Meaning
