All of my encyclopedias and history books must be wrong. http://s3.amazonaws.com/advrider/Oscar.gifWikipedia too (not that it’s much of a source.)

No that is not correct. All is welcome to receive the Eucharist. Please do not lie about my Church. But tell it like it is. In order to receive the Eucharist you must understand what you are receiving and in order to receive it you must not have any grave sin,
In not letting you receive the Eucharist is not turning you away, it is not letting you condemn yourself. All you have to do is go thru the RCIA class and become Catholic and understand what you are doing and then you are welcome.
THe Priest has a promise to God to teach the faith. You must understand what you are doing before you do it. The Priest just wants you to have full knowledge of what you are doing. IF you do a valid confession and are free from sin then you can take the Eucharist.
Its no different for us.[SIGN][/SIGN] And yes you are correct there is GOds grace at the foot of the Cross. And also another Grace he left us the sacramemt of confession. Peter said it clear repent and confess your sins, And eat the Body and Blood of Christ. It has never changed. It is the same today as 2000 years ago.

And not all Priest are doing the work of God. Jesus told us many will hide in his clothing. The devil is the master of deceit. All we can do is get rid of them when they are caught. The CHurch has never said that a Priest has never fallen from Gods grace and turned to sin. Bt until they are exposed they can not be sifted out.
Look at when Jesus was here. Did that change the fact that Judas fell out of grace and into sin. Its no different today. And just like in the days of Jesus its the same today when People give into the devil and sin inocent suffer.
But do you really think any Priest, or Person in that fact will get away with what they did. What did Jesus say. I believe he said anyone who hurts a Child it is better for them they they had not been born. They will face the Lord with their sin. And its horrible for the Good Priests who like the other Apostles did good, But its the Judas’s that people would rather talk about. Not our wonderful Pope. Or our wonderful Saints.
I don’t care if its a fact or not. ITs messed up thats what it is. And it is unacceptable for any faith. Just because the RCC is the Church that Jesus left us does not mean sinners will not try to bring it down.

Hi rinnie,
Just for the sake of this post, will you please list what the Roman Catholic Church teaches that are grave sins. Thanks!
God Bless!

Sure emeralcoast. To put it in my words, and to make it simple a grave sin is something that can stop you from getting into heaven. Its mortal.
Here is an example a motal sin is when you know its wrong, it can separate you from God but you do it anyway. Adultery is a good one. You know that its unacceptable to God. But you are in your right mind you know you should not do it but you put your will over Gods and sin.
Now cussing. ITs a sin, But say I say in anger you no good SOB. Its a sin. venial. Which I did not not think oh i should not call you that but I will anyway. ITs wrong but it just came out, I really didn’t mean it and did not realize I was sinning against God. But afterwards after the anger I knew I was wrong so I said hey I am sorry, I lost my temper.
But you can’t always be sure so in our faith its better to confess them all. But example number 1 can keep you from heaven. Does that make sense to you?

Here is the official teaching
CCC 1861 Mortal sin is a radical possibility of human freedom as is love itself. It results in the loss of charity and the privation of sanctifying grace that is of the state of grace If it is not redeemed by repentance and Gods forgiveness it causes exclusion from Gods kingdom and the eternal eath of hell. for our gredom has the power to make choices for ever with no turning back. However although we can judge that an act is in itself a grave offense we must entrust hudgment of person to the justice and mercy of God.
Venial sin is less serious matter he does not observe the standard precribed by the mortal law or when he disobeys the moral law in a grave matter but without full knowledge or with complete consent.

As I (hope) we found out, there is no truly Christian Church that supports gay marriage.
There is no such thing as gay “marriage”.
Marriage is between One Man and One Woman.
And, I am not anti-gay or anything of the sort.
Gays just need to come-up with another word, is all.
The word “Marriage” is taken.

Well Good question. Would a gay marriage not be considered a mortal sin?

If one did not believe that gay marriage was a mortal sin and their intent was to truly be married and not enter into a sinful relationship but truly intend on entering into a state of holy matrimony…is it still a mortal sin or does it move to venial?
As I understand there are certain things that must take place before a person truly is culpuble for a “mortal sin” and I believe “intent” is one of them…they must know they are sinning…is this correct?
This is a serious question.

“Gay marriage” is a euphemism wrapped in an oxymoron.
Homosexual behavior is objectively disordered. It’s sinful whether someone thinks it is or not.
Teaching anything otherwise is an act of malice.

So if one is “invincibly ignorant” about the matter of it’s sinfulness…they are still culpuble of a “mortal sin”?

If the truth were not revealed to him no. But Jesus did not leave us orphans. He left us the CHurch and the CHurch teaches that this is indeed a mortal sin.
It could be considered venial if the truth was not revealed. But once it was revealed the Person would have to repent confess and not continue in the sin. If they did, then yes Mortal. See you are beginning to understand the difference

I totally agree with you. But the point is it has been revealed to us through Jesus Christ and through the Catholic Church. That is the big difference.

416. In what does the natural moral law consist?
1954-1960
1978-1979
The natural law which is inscribed by the Creator on the heart of every person consists in a participation in the wisdom and the goodness of God. It expresses that original moral sense which enables one to discern by reason the good and the bad. It is universal and immutable and determines the basis of the duties and fundamental rights of the person as well as those of the human community and civil law.
The natural law is not revealed to man through the Church, but known to all.

Whatever it is you are reading must be wrong if it proclaims that there were no known Celtics practicing prior to the Roman missionaries coming to the British Isles. Is this what you are claiming?

Kind of a dumb question isn’t it. You know very well that it is a serious sin and a serious crime. Is this the only response that non-Catholic, protestants have? If the Catholic Church turns out to be Christ’s one true Church, and all Christian truths are contained within Catholicism, on Judgment Day, your response to rejecting those Christian truths found in Catholicism will be pointing your finger at other human beings who have sinned. Good luck.
