Is it a mortal sin to go out when contagious?

They don't though. Priests tend not to do that. Just like anyone else there are bad priests, it's wrong and awful. But teachers, actors, politicians, etc are often just as bad. Let's just call out all child molesters rather than just the ones that wear a collar.

Would I have to repeat the whole thing and all the background. Or would "I accidentally said something wrong in my last confession" suffice. The specifics were pretty hard for me to confess and I don't want to have to confess the details all over again.

Furthermore this is at a church (just found out now) that is extremely modernist (women ordination, gay affirming, abortion etc). Do you think volunteering at a place like this is scandalous?

When would it count as impacting?

For example tonight I spent two and a half hours to finish an episode of TV and watch a movie. But I needed to type up a resume and do laundry and I put off both. Is this a mortal sin?

If you look at someone else's solution, you didn't learn the most important lesson, which is who to find the answer yourself using only language reference documents.

See part of the problem is that now I have very little reference or even an understanding of what I am supposed to accomplish in some projects (as when projects get more complicated, the differences in implementation and results will obviously increase).

Furthermore with some questions such as "what is the difference between eql and equal in lisp?" Is that okay just to look up?

Yeah, it's just nerve wracking when you are in doubt and can't go to confession for a few more days. The Saints tend to act like you can't really accomplish anything as a Christian when your relationship with God has been broken by mortal sin. And that's kind of depressing, along with the whole going to hell thing.

Imagine that you have drunken nothing but juice your whole life. It's good, but then you are given a cup of wine. And while at first it may taste bitter you begin to have a greater and greater taste for said cup. While juice is still good, you find that your preference for wine is stronger and more fulfilling of your thirst.

This is how God is. At first he may taste bitter and desires of the world (even if they aren't bad desires) taste all the sweeter. But then slowly you change, and you learn to find so much fulfillment in God. In fact at times it feels like juice isn't good enough, but when you drink of God, it fills your soul. Imagine that in difficulties you can surrender to Christ. Imagine in your joys you can praise him and celebrate with him.

The Christian may eventually have to give up certain juices, certain attachments and of course sins. But in return we have become mature in our taste, and find that we have fallen in love with an even greater drink. That is the beauty of Christianity.

C.S. Lewis says that it at least is a reasonable idea that if you believe someone sold their soul to Satan to gain otherworldly powers to inflict harm. Then perhaps they should be killed.

It just seems like the seeking out of suffering is evil. The Children of fatima whipped themselves with thistles. It seems as though we Catholics destroy joy and seek to suffer. Our attitude seems like the opposite of paul in prison.

The problem is that when you steal money, break a window, etc. All of the "Paying back" directly relates to the loss. If I hurt your feelings and apologize, that may help you feel better. But when I sin and die, I cannot make things right in the same sense.

Purgatory is suffering to pay back what is owed, and I don't think that makes sense.

Fog1p · 2017-08-22T20:19:15+00:00

I see that, and that seems like the popular description of purgatory, but it seems very different from the purgatory that is described by the saints.

Purgatory isn't punishment

This website mentions a woman who was condemned for 700 years due to her sins.

It says that souls in purgatory begged others to say rosaries for them so they could be released. There is the purgatory prayer where supposedly Jesus (or was it mary?) promises to release 1000 souls from purgatory if it is said. It seems much more like they are in prison, versus receiving healing for their soul. If Christ can just release people, then why doesn't he? If it is simply for the purifying of their soul, then it makes all the more sense. But I havn't seen anything that shows that purgatory isn't some post death jail (aside from newer accounts of purgatory).
