What is the doctrinal position on Sins of Omission as they pertain to God? That is, why is it that God is not guilty of Sins of Omission in allowing, with foreknowledge and power to stop, suffering to exist?
In the sake of honesty, I'll go ahead and say that I am not Catholic--or even frankly Christian--but I nevertheless am not here to start debate: I leave that to the turd throwers on the Religious Debates forums. I'm genuinely interested in the doctrinal position. I was raised Roman Catholic and to this day I am deeply influenced by and in awe of Roman Catholic theology. My personal conception of the Divine has been deeply influence by St Augustine and St Thomas Aquinas, and I consider Catholic theology to be among the only really tenable Christian philosophical bodies.
Feel free to respond in detail and at length if necessary. I will read it.
Thank you all.
