Why Does God Allow Tragedies Like Plane Crashes? https://www.catholicshare.com/why-does-god-allow-tragedies-like-plane-crashes/ The Nature of God and the Reality of Evil. The question of why God allows tragedies like plane crashes touches on the theological problem of evil, a central concern in Catholic theology. Evil, in Catholic teaching, is understood as the absence or privation of good, rather than a substance or entity in itself. God, being infinitely good, does not create evil, but permits it as a consequence of human freedom and the natural order. The (CCC 309-314) explains that God’s providence governs all creation, yet allows for the possibility of moral and physical evil. A plane crash, as a physical evil, may result from human error, mechanical failure, or natural phenomena, all of which operate within the laws of the created world. God’s omnipotence does not mean He micromanages every event; rather, He grants creation a degree of autonomy. This autonomy allows for both human choices and natural processes, which can lead to tragic outcomes. The Church teaches that God’s permission of evil is not arbitrary but part of a larger plan that human minds cannot fully grasp. Genesis 3:17-19 illustrates how suffering entered the world through sin, yet God’s love remains constant. This perspective frames tragedies as part of a broader divine purpose, even when that purpose is mysterious.
