Thanks again for these really good answers. I still have a lot more researching to do!

I have one more question however:

I have just downloaded a film from iTunes and did not realise that it does not allow you to burn it to DVD. Would it be a sin to remove this DRM so that I can watch it on DVD?
 
Sorry, I could not edit the last post, but have another question to ask!

If you think there is a 50% chance that you are in a state of mortal sin, should you refrain from Holy Communion, or should you only refrain from it if you know for a fact that you are in a state of mortal sin?

I think it’s best to talk to a priest about this, because sometimes if a person is really scrupulous, a priest tells them to only refrain from Communion if they 100% know they’re in mortal sin.

However in ordinary situations, I think it’s best to not receive Communion if you’re not sure!! just to be safe 🙂 I know it’s difficult missing Communion but what I do sometimes is I go to Confession during the week, and then attend weekly Mass 🙂

God bless

I think it’s always best to err on the side of caution (unless, as mentioned previously, you have issues of being overly scrupulous). Just think about 1 Corinthians 11: 27 - “Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will have to answer for the body and blood of the Lord.”

But, as Monica pointed out, it is always best to consult a priest when able to on these matters
