The evidence cited supports the existence of “Mine.” It doesn’t necessarily prove the existence “Mine forever.” Or “Mine after death.” Or “Mine even if I’m not using it.” Or “Mine because my dead grandfather said so before he died.”
Or
My grandfather at the time of his death gave it to me and it is now mine and I will store it, care for it and otherwise pay to maintain it.
Why don’t you tell us who else has a right to it?

get it. But the contention is a compliment, really. TD is a think-tank forum, effectively countering PhD academic "truths." Conservatively, 1/3rd of the posters here would literally eat a lib academic alive on political topics in his/her own classroom. In her pursuits, IMO, Cubs benefits from the board's contrarianism to liberal academics.
It’s possible I read her motivations wrong. I didn’t get the sense there were intellectually altruistic motives behind her questions and they seemed designed to extract info she needed to confirm her bias.
My apologies if I read the situation incorrectly.

Sounds like cubbies got cut out of the will or just descended from a line of poverty.

I seek them out. Most of the people in my circles are like-minded. I can anticipate their responses to questions

Not a satisfying answer.
Yes, for you, I would expect it isn’t satisfying.

She says she Catholic, but after this whole "thought" experiment, I highly doubt she's ever read any Pope Encyclicals dealing with the topics of socialism and communism.
Or anything about natural laws.

I keep telling my mom to sell her house and cash in her assets, travel wherever she wants to go and then come move in with me. I can make my own money and I certainly didn’t earn any of hers. My dad has a much younger wife who I’m sure is going to spend everything he has until her dying breath, which is really none of my business anyway. I’ve always been able to make my own money.

You say you’re Catholic but you’re kind of an a-hole.

You cannot believe the things you are talking about in this thread and the other thread and say you are a Catholic.
Read Pope Leo's encyclicals on the dangers of socialism and communism (the old, dead one not the current one) and get back to me.
You reak of relativism/post-modernism, which sadly has infiltrated our Church and im not even a traditionalist Catholic.

never claimed money isn’t real. In fact, I used it as an example of a legitimate social construct.

There is no universal standard of justice. There’s no universal understanding of what justice is, means, or entails. It’s essentially a platitude in this context.

I even bolded the operative word.

The existence of a standard and universal agreement about that standard are not the same thing.
Christians don’t even agree that capital punishment is or isn’t justice.

Ok thanks!
This response was not unexpected.

Marriage is a sacrament.
Do you believe the Sacrament of marriage is a human construct?
