I think the wording of the poll options needs to be corrected. Birth control is not necessarily a mortal sin, but a grave sin. It may become a mortal sin if the 3 requirements of a mortal snie have been met.

That’s another thing: I’ve noticed that the more traditional catholics are more likely to just call something a mortal sin than to bring up the three conditions. Everyone used to just assume that the three conditions were met for Catholics.
 
The three conditions required for mortal sin have not changed. They are exactly the same today as they were 500 years ago, etc. Somehow in the last 50 years though we’ve come upon the “knowledge” that mortal sin is so rare and it hardly ever happens, or maybe even doesn’t happen. Ah the poison of a liberal mindset at its worst. Satan is probably having a great time with this! :eek:

In all fairness, that’s pretty rare. Most priests that I have known have taught the very same thing about mortal sin as 500 years ago. There are certainly some bad theologians who mis-state the facts, but there are also many priests who understand and teach the truth.

I hope so. But someone still needs to tell my RCIA director to fix herself.

I’d love to read about your experience in RCIA, have you posted them in a thread? It would be fun to see you pointing out the doctrinal errors that are almost certainly being taught to you 😃
 
I’d pick #1, but as others have pointed out, Birth Control MAY be a mortal sin, but there may be circumstances where it is not (one partner has an STD???).

Our Church is dogmatic, but has an infinite supply of compassion and forgiveness. I can only observe, I’ll leave the judgements to God.

Welcome. I am a convert 47 years ago LOL. My husband of 39 years is in RCIA now 😃 . He just took longer then most;) .
From what you have written you seen to have a good grasp of the Faith already. What I tell my husband is to ask about anything he hears that seems not to jive with what he knows is truth. Hard to do but sometimes it is a learning experience for the RCIA leaders.

I haven’t done one yet, but I’ll have to get to it someday… probably when RCIA is over. I’ll have plenty of things to talk about, trust me. 😉

Yikes…are you in RCIA??? That’s really destructive!

It definitely wouldn’t be the first destructive thing that’s been said in my RCIA class. The session on “loyal dissent” comes to mind…

Thank you very much. It has been brought up that I might get to have Confession and First Communion early: January as opposed to April. I’ll have to wait until April to be confirmed, but I am hoping to receive our Lord for the first time in January. I can’t wait! I have wanted to receive our Lord in the Eucharist for what seems like way too long a time!
