]]> Comment on Fun, Faith Filled Facts #9: Missing Sunday mass is a Mortal Sin? and so is….. by Joe B http://cafetheology.org/2008/08/27/fun-faith-filled-facts-9-missing-sunday-mass-is-a-mortal-sin-and-so-is/#comment-26145 Joe B Fri, 12 Sep 2008 00:04:15 +0000 http://cafetheology.org/?p=3676#comment-26145 I have to take issue with "Drinking under the age of 21" of itself being a mortal sin. If Drunkenness is a mortal sin and the person is old enough to know right from wrong, then it is a sin and the age qualifier is not necessary. But if a 20 year old has a glass of wine at dinner I don't think just because the government says the legal age is 21 he is commiting a mortal sin. Mortal sins are not dependent on the laws of man. Otherwise drinking under 21 is a sin today but if the age is lowered (and recently some college presidents urged states to lower the legal age) the action is suddenly not a sin? The legal age to drink is lower than 21 in some other countries and it used to be lower in the US. Does that mean whether a 20 year old having a drink is a mortal sin depends on the changing statutes of a particular jurisdiction? Of course, I am discussing having a drink or drinks without drunkeness. I have to take issue with “Drinking under the age of 21″ of itself being a mortal sin.

However, I would like a little clarification on your ending list of "Mortal" sins. Though certainly deeply sinful, not all of those strike me as ones regarding such grave matter that they would be considered mortal. Also, keep in mind that we can really only judge whether a particular sin is of "grave matter"--only one third of the conditions necessary for a sin to be a mortal sin. Well done, Genevieve!

Now they are manipulating abortion figures to their benefit. They go so far as to claim that liberal abortion laws actually reduce the number of abortions! of course the figures they cite can never really accurately reflect (if they do at all) the number of early chemical abortions brought about by the use of RU-486 and other abortifacients such as the Pill and IUD. By redefining what an abortion is (and ignoring the abortions caused by abortifacients), they continhjue to deceive people. It's our duty to point this out and inform people of the existence of abortifacient contraceptives.
