So help me God[edit]

"So help me God" means what to those who believe there is no help to be had from God? --Pawyilee (talk) 04:25, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move[edit]

The result of the proposal was move per request.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 23:42, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Doctrine of mental reservation → Mental reservation – The current title is curiously descriptive. We have Evolution, not Theory of evolution. We have Gravitation, not Law of gravity. And we have Universalizability, not Concept of universalizability. I think this borders on a technical request; it seems to have resulted from a merge where Mental reservation was a more prudent destination. The only other topic with a similar name is Mental Reservation (album), which is easily dealt with through a hatnote (For the Scanner album, see...). The proposed title is also more concise. --BDD (talk) 23:39, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Mentalis restrictio in moral theology

The traditional teaching of moral theologians is that a lie is intrinsically evil, and therefore, never allowed. However, there are instances where one is also under an obligation to keep secrets faithfully, and sometimes the easiest way of fulfilling that duty is to say what is false, or to tell a lie. Writers of all creeds and of none, both ancient and modern, have frankly accepted this position. They admit the doctrine of the "lie of necessity", and maintain that when there is a conflict between justice and veracity it is justice that should prevail. The common Catholic teaching has formulated the theory of mental reservation as a means by which the claims of both justice and veracity can be satisfied.

To its source (https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/10195b.htm)

According to the common Catholic teaching it is never allowable to tell a lie, not even to save human life. A lie is something intrinsically evil, and as evil may not be done that good may come of it, we are never allowed to tell a lie. However, we are also under an obligation to keep secrets faithfully, and sometimes the easiest way of fulfilling that duty is to say what is false, or to tell a lie. Writers of all creeds and of none, both ancient and modern, have frankly accepted this position. They admit the doctrine of the lie of necessity, and maintain that when there is a conflict between justice and veracity it is justice that should prevail. The common Catholic teaching has formulated the theory of mental reservation as a means by which the claims of both justice and veracity can be satisfied.

This is plagiarism and should be dealt with immediately. The rest of the article's information should be compared with its corresponding sources.
