1659 St. Paul said:
“Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the Church…. This is a great
mystery, and I mean in reference to Christ and the Church”
(Eph 5:25, 32).

The holiness of the divine name demands that we neither use it for trivial
matters, nor take an oath which on the basis of the circumstances could be
interpreted as approval of an authority unjustly requiring it. When an oath is
required by illegitimate civil authorities, it may be refused. It must be
refused when it is required for purposes contrary to the dignity of persons or
to ecclesial communion.

To
understand this doctrine and practice of the Church, it is necessary to
understand that sin has a double consequence. Grave sin deprives us of
communion with God and therefore makes us incapable of eternal life, the
privation of which is called the “eternal punishment” of sin. On the
other hand every sin, even venial, entails an unhealthy attachment to
creatures, which must be purified either here on earth, or after death in the
state called Purgatory. This purification frees one from what is called the
“temporal punishment” of sin. These two punishments must not be
conceived of as a kind of vengeance inflicted by God from without, but as
following from the very nature of sin. A conversion which proceeds from a
fervent charity can attain the complete purification of the sinner in such a
way that no punishment would remain.83

To be human, “man’s response to God by faith must be free, and…
therefore nobody is to be forced to embrace the faith against his will. the act
of faith is of its very nature a free act.”39 “God calls men
to serve him in spirit and in truth. Consequently they are bound to him in
conscience, but not coerced. . . This fact received its fullest manifestation
in Christ Jesus.”40 Indeed, Christ invited people to faith and
conversion, but never coerced them. “For he bore witness to the truth but
refused to use force to impose it on those who spoke against it. His kingdom…
grows by the love with which Christ, lifted up on the cross, draws men to
himself.”41

The Lord’s day, the day of
Resurrection, the day of Christians, is our day. It is called the Lord’s day
because on it the Lord rose victorious to the Father. If pagans call it the
“day of the sun,” we willingly agree, for today the light of the
world is raised, today is revealed the sun of justice with healing in his
rays.39

Since Easter, the Holy Spirit has proved “the world wrong about
sin,”29 i.e., proved that the world has not believed in him whom
the Father has sent. But this same Spirit who brings sin to light is also the
Consoler who gives the human heart grace for repentance and
conversion.30

The command of Jesus to repeat his actions and words “until he comes”
does not only ask us to remember Jesus and what he did. It is directed at the
liturgical celebration, by the apostles and their successors, of the memorial
of Christ, of his life, of his death, of his Resurrection, and of his
intercession in the presence of the Father.165
