If I understand their point correctly it's less around condemnation and more: the person is no longer alive. Interesting to consider the idea that there is a boundary. For example: are people in life support alive? Either way, all the more reason to make disciples now.
From my reading and limited understanding In Christianity the only person who can fuck with your soul is the Lord. Someone can poison you, kill you, do all kinds of awful stuff to you, and sometimes you even get rewarded for it. To my knowledge nobodies faggy little dark arts rituals mean shit compared to God. I am highly suspicious of anyone implying anything they give you removed your soul, and in Christian theology yes someone who’s paralyzed has a soul. Someone who’s brain dead has a soul. Paralytics are something Jesus personally dealt with in the books of Mathew Mark Luke and John.
That’s why abortion and euthanasia are such hot topics for certain people of faith because they believe in their immortal soul.
I also similarly wouldn’t assume we become soulless when we are unconscious for sleep, or surgery, or otherwise incapacitated. It’s irrelevant if it’s permanent or temporary. If they are alive they’re alive, and Christian also have resurrection so even if you’re dead there’s still life after death. None of what these Catholics are saying make sense, furthermore if they’re going against Rome, they are violating the First Vatican Council. So by their own silly rules they’re heretical and supposedly damned. (I’m not a Roman Catholic, but I’m aware of their rules)
