That is a gloomy opinion. Yes some very scrupulous people come to these forums. Many of us live in love of God and in trust in God, therefore we have fewer questions that appear in these forums. I like many have never asked a question here, only either asked prayer for people or answered their questions or sought to encourage and enlighten,
but like many of us have never asked in fear, is this a sin, is that a sin.
Of course those with the questions are more vocal about their worries and therefore the anxiety shows out of correct proportion in these forums. Many of us go forward in hope, in trust, in joy, and also don’t get caught by the anxiety of sin because sin has far less hold over those who live from hope, love, and knowledge of Church teaching and the Bible. The addictions etc simply don’t take hold where people live in joy, love, trust, and hope. So such people don’t come to the attention of those seeking our Catholic shortcomings! Of course we all do wrong, and do our best to become better Christians, better Catholics, but we are most definitely not gloomy, negative people, most of us!
And gluttony is not just enjoying food, it’s eating beyond reason. It certainly is not a beneficial thing to health and well-being.
We can enjoy food, enjoy nice things, without over-doing it.
Gluttony can lead to illness and disease. It’s something one regrets. Excess, which is what the so-called daughters are based on, can cause regret, discomfort, unnecessary expense and health or other problems.
Enjoyable eating doesn’t lead to those things. We can thoroughly enjoy something, at the time, and without later ill-effects if we enjoy them with at least some degree of moderation!!!
Someone with verbal diarrhoea leads to people wishing to escape the person, and rather than building relationship as inter-discussion can, causes a person annoyance and a wish to escape the person who never stops talking. Such a person cannot listen.
So how are such things good?
