I’m not trying to be disrespectful, but I was not addressing this question towards infidels and heretics.Seriously

That’s very rude.
Seems like the “infidel and heretic” pointed YOU in the RIGHT direction.
Right.
And you seriously want to know, because you don’t know, if watching pornography without masturbating is a sin.
You could read the Catechism of the Catholic Church and see what it has to say about pornography.
You’re also obligated to keep a well formed conscience.
What’s your gut instinct telling you about watching porn?

Uh oh,
Yes it’s a mortal sin. Don’t go anywhere near porn!! It will drag you away from God and into hell.
In your heart of hearts, do you seriously think it’s ok?Ok, thanks but what about the other questions?Yes it’s a mortal sin. Don’t go anywhere near porn!! It will drag you away from God and into hell.
Seriously…this question makes me cross. Think, man! Of course it’s mortal.
This particular infidel is quite knowledgeable and tends to give clear, accurate answers to questions about Catholicism. She does a better job that many of the Catholics. It is rather embarrassing for us.
WOW.
You are an IDIOT!!!
Do not look at pictures of naked women. Do not watch movies with sex scenes. These things are wrong.
Well that’s a bit uncharitable as well. His question was idiotic, but there’s no need to call him names.
Great answer!From your own Catechism:
2354 Pornography consists in removing real or simulated sexual acts from the intimacy of the partners, in order to display them deliberately to third parties. It offends against chastity because it perverts the conjugal act, the intimate giving of spouses to each other. It does grave injury to the dignity of its participants (actors, vendors, the public), since each one becomes an object of base pleasure and illicit profit for others. It immerses all who are involved in the illusion of a fantasy world. It is a grave offense. Civil authorities should prevent the production and distribution of pornographic materials.
2396 Among the** sins **gravely contrary to chastity are masturbation, fornication, pornography, and homosexual practices.

It is a spiritual work of mercy to instruct the ignorant. This does not generally involve calling them idiots.

(And no, that was not sarcastic!)One thing that makes me ashamed about being Catholic is how so many of my fellow Catholic brothers and sisters are rude. Many of my Muslim friends would agree that asking whether something is sinful is never idiotic. Even though my Muslim brothers and sisters are of a different faith, I find many of them more respectful than the Catholics I’ve encountered. As for atheistgirl, I don’t know who she is. With her first post in this thread adding no content, I had to assume she was an infidel trolling.
