grave matter

[vince2paul]

hmm… I was explaining about mortal sin in a mailing list, when someone asked, ‘what is grave matter?’
Is there any guidance of what consider grave matter?

CCC 1858 Grave matter is specified by the Ten Commandments, corresponding to the answer of Jesus to the rich young man: “Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and your mother.” The gravity of sins is more or less great: murder is graver than theft. One must also take into account who is wronged: violence against parents is in itself graver than violence against a stranger.

Thanks! I only remember that I can view online CCC after I posted it.
Well, I guess I’m too dependent on this forum now.
