Anorexia aka starving yourself needs to be addressed.

There is something seriously wrong with the elevation of fasting/abstaining for the sake of sanctity without ensuring the audience is aware of when that line has been crossed …

Some priests are so thirsty for power, they won’t even yield to educating teens the difference between the two …

It is SO very sad and sickening

.
The Catechism says this about the deadly sins:

Hope that helps.

Adding this:

I’ll just post the 5th commandment, but the entire Examination is good to read.
 
Of course it can be of grave matter. Any of the 7 deadly sins can be of grave matter and can qualify as mortal sin. To put it into perspective for you, Pride is ranked as the worst of the 7 deadly sins, while lust is the least serious. Gluttony is somewhere in between.
Where did you get that order from? Just curious.

Dante placed gluttony second after lust, and pride is the worst.

Lust
Gluttony
Greed
Sloth
Anger
Envy
Pride

From Wikipedia:

Ranked in order (worst sins listed last) like in Dante’s Divine Comedy (in the Purgatorio), the seven deadly sins are:
Lust (fornication) — Unlawful sexual desire, such as desiring sex with a person outside marriage. (Dante’s definition was “excessive love of others,” and this reduced the love that a person could give God).
Gluttony — Wasting of food, either through eating too much food, drink or drugs, misplaced desire for food for its taste, or not giving food to the needy (“excessive love of pleasure” was Dante’s definition).
Greed (covetousness, avarice) — Greed is when somebody wants more things than the person needs or can use. Dante wrote that greed is too much “love of money and power”.
Sloth (also accidie, acedia) — Laziness; idleness and wastefulness of time that a person has. Laziness is hated because:
Others have to work harder
Delaying what God wants a person to do or not doing it at all
It makes life harder for oneself, because useful work does not get done
It, like gluttony, is a sin of waste, for it wastes time, maybe because of pride
Sloth is a state of equilibrium: one does not produce much, but one does not need much either (in Dante’s theology, sloth is the “failure to love God with all one’s heart, all one’s mind, and all one’s soul”; specific examples including being lazy, being scared, lack of imagination, complacency, and not doing what the person should do).
Wrath (anger, hate) — Inappropriate (not right) feelings of hatred, revenge or even denial, as well as punitive desires outside of justice (Dante’s description was “love of justice perverted to revenge and spite”).
Envy (jealousy) — Hating other people for what they have. Dante wrote that envy is “Love of one’s own good perverted to a desire to deprive other men of theirs” (in other words, thinking that the person himself should have more, even if it means someone else will have less because of him.)
Pride (vanity) — A desire to be important or attractive to others or excessive love of self (holding self out of proper position toward God or fellows; Dante’s definition was “love of self perverted to hatred and contempt for one’s neighbor”).
 
OLD thread. From 2012

Please start a new one if one wishes to continue discussion.

OLD thread.
 
Why open a new one when the person who opened this thread hasn’t closed it ?
It is from 2012. The person is not ABLE to close it. Threads do not work that way. But time closes it in sense.

(one reason is that those who are involved years ago may not be participating anymore or not around reasonably to respond etc).

As I understand it old threads are not be be restarted.

Old threads are old threads - not something really to be opened up again… Rather one starts a new thread.

A thread has a particular life - with particular participants (it is unfair to start responding to someone comments for example that where made 2 years ago and the person is not around to discuss) - when time has passed - let it rest and start a new one if there is a question.

"If you bring back a dead thread we will generally delete your post and close it.

The Admins have the following policy in place and it can be found at this link .

Your cooperation and courtesy in not reopening old/dormant threads is requested:

-1. the issues that spurred them are often no longer “hot” or current topics, explaining why thread activity ceased originally

-2. posters originally involved in the discussion are sometimes no longer active on the forum and, therefore, unavailable to reply to comments added to the thread

Our experience suggests that, when a topic merits revival, it is best accomplished by initiating a new thread that draws on recent events and can be posted to contemporaneously. This eliminates the baggage of folks being frustrated by asking and not receiving responses to issues raised in early posts (because the new poster didn’t notice that the post he is quoting was made a year ago…or more)."

Rules and directions from the beginning are still the rules and directions…as are the reasoning behind them.

Please start new thread if wish to discuss this topic- thanks.
