Gut informierte Eltern, geschützte Kinder — Elternnetzwerk-Kinderschutz und Prävention · Diese Website wurde geschaffen, um Eltern über das neue Rahmenkonzept „Sexuelle Bildung" zu informieren, das das Erzbistum Hamburg ab dem Schuljahr 2026/2027 an allen katholischen Schulen einführen möchte. Es geht weit über eine altersgerechte Sexualaufklärung hinaus. Es fördert ein neues Verständnis von Sexualität, Geschlechtsidentität, Ehe, Familie und menschlichen Beziehungen und widerspricht der katholischen Lehre sowie dem Erziehungsauftrag der Eltern.

Catena Aurea · Church Fathers
529 Commentaries

Catena Aurea · Joh 1
(lxviii. Moral. c. 6. [12.]) In Scripture language as, and as it were, are sometimes put not for likeness but reality; whence the expression, As of the Only-Begotten of the Father.

Catena Aurea · Joh 1
(xviii. Moral. c. 54. [88] rec. 28) It is plainly given us to understand here, that while we are in this mortal state, we can see God only through the medium of certain images, not in the reality of His own nature. A soul influenced by the grace of the Spirit may see God through certain figures, but cannot penetrate into his absolute essence. And hence it is that Jacob, who testifies that he saw God, saw nothing but an Angel: and that Moses, who talked with God face to face, says, Shew me Thy way, that I may know Thee: (Exod. 33:13) meaning that he ardently desired to see in the brightness of His own infinite Nature, Him Whom he had only as yet seen reflected in images.

Catena Aurea · Joh 1
(xviii. Moral.) If however any, while inhabiting this corruptible flesh, can advance to such an immeasurable height of virtue, as to be able to discern by the contemplative vision, the eternal brightness of God, their case affects not what we say. For whoever seeth wisdom, that is, God, is dead wholly to this life, being no longer occupied by the love of it.

Catena Aurea · Joh 1
(xviii. Moral. c. 54. 90. vet. xxxviii.) Some hold that in the place of bliss, God is visible in His brightness, but not in His nature. This is to indulge in over much subtlety. For in that simple and unchangeable essence, no division can be made between the nature and the brightness.

Catena Aurea · Joh 1
(xviii. Moral. c. 54. [91] vet. xxxviii.) Some however there are who conceive that not even the Angels see God.

Catena Aurea · Joh 1
(Hom. vii. in Evang. c. 1) He denied directly being what he was not, but he did not deny what he was: thus, by his speaking truth, becoming a true member of Him Whose name he had not dishonestly usurped.
