Not if you have your own private “throne room” and it is posted with a no trespassing sign.

Is it a sin to keep bringing muffins to my parkour coaches, even though one of them described them as “like crack for me”? 😱

Addiction specialist Father Cody Pendant says this is a classic sign of an enabler and very sinful. For your penance, you must leave a batch of your irresistible muffins outside the Sacred Penitentiary, ring the doorbell and run away.

At the Sign of Peace at Mass, hoping to discourage hand shaking and physical contact, is it a sin to bring out hand bell and vigorously ring it while exclaiming, “Unclean! Unclean!” ?

No.

Is it a sin that someone’s question about sin causes one to laugh?
 
Is it a sin to wear a turtleneck and thermal underwear under a sundress? Is it a sin to wear polka-dots, checks, and plaids in contrasting colors? Is it a sin to go up and congratulate complete strangers for obscure things that they’re not sure they did?
 
Yes, yes, depends on the context. If you congratulate them on a successful bank robbery they are not sure they did, well, that could get dicy.

Assuming that this is done in pursuit of modesty, it is highly commendable, be it winter or summer.

I need a pedicure, but I’m short on cash. Would it be a sin to sign up for the Holy Thursday foot washing at my parish with this ulterior motive in mind?
 
Not sure. Are your feet smellie?

Would it be a sin to fight a war using bombs made of 6-week old unwashed socks?
 
Falls into the chemical weapons catagory. Some may be weapons of mass distruction.
 
Is it a sin to try to have a himalayan salt lamp made from blessed salt?
 
Not usually. Bishop Sherpa has specifically allowed those blessings. The exception is if the salt has lost its flavor, in which case sin could be involved.

It is not a sin, especially if you happen to be a well-known apologist with Catholic Answers.

On Palm Sunday, if the homily after the long Gospel reading goes on longer than the actual Passion narrative, is it a sin to use the blessed palms we were given to engage in a mini sword fight with the person in the pew next to me?

He said to them, “One who does not have a sword should sell his cloak and buy one… Then they said, “Lord, look, there are two swords here.” But he replied, “It is enough!”

If there are only two swords, or palms, it looks like you are all good. No sin.

Is it a sin to fund the Notre Dame Cathedral reconstruction by selling advertising space on the new roof?

Monsignor Mark Etting, looking up from his Catholic Answers® catalogue, put down his steaming mug of Mystic Monk® coffee and pondered the question. Swallowing a mouthful of savory Trappist Preserves® on delicious Monk’s Biscotti®, he washed it all down with a swig of Chimay® Trappist Ale and replied, “No sin.”

During the Good Friday fast, is it a sin to imagine and write about delicious food and beverages?
 
Drink all the delicious beverages you want. However, you can only eat grass for the rest of the day.
