If I forgot it was Friday and had ham for breakfast did I commit a sin?
Hello everyone,I laughed a lot at the fried chicken.
I've recently found Catholicism and within the last few months it feels as if I've been drinking from a fire hose. I fell pretty hard for it as soon as I opened myself up to it. I was never anti-Catholic at all, and I guess you could say I was LARP'ing as a protestant before, desperately trying to feel anything amid the guitar solos and unserious nature of the worship. My girlfriend grew up in a Catholic family but was never baptized and is agnostic so I'm trying to pull her over currently.
Anyway, I had my first experience of the Latin Mass last night and was blown away by the reverence and solemnity of the worship. It was everything I thought it should be. Even in my naivety, it always made more sense that everyone was turned toward Christ and not facing one another.
That's it. I also like fried chicken.
Good morning everyone, I'm new to the forum. I am a Catholic revert and recently discovered tradition within the last year which was even further solidified when I attended an SSPX Ignatian retreat in March. I'm married with three young children. My wife is also a practicing Catholic but has not yet embraced tradition as I have. I would like to hear from any others that are in a similar situation with their spouse and how they have handled it.Gently explain to her what you just wrote to us...
I quoted the CCC to show that even the new church has something right. This idea that you cannot commit mortal sins if you are ignorant is not logical. It's like that meme of the Eskimo who says why did you tell me about God if I am condemned? Why bother educating people about sin if their ignorance keeps them from mortal sin. It also appears contrary to scripture, St Paul says drunkards will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Yet most people do not know that drunkenness is a sin, surely these people will be condemned for their drunkenness and their ignorance won't change that?
I wonder how accurate is the translation of what I quoted, or is it just the SSPX's words? The google translation just doesn't come across the same. The SSPX translation looks a bit odd, but otherwise can strongly imply that Paul VI knew how the smoke of Satan entered the Church. But, if someone were to look up the quote, they will find it was reordered and composed from a summary to sound like a direct quote from him. That kind of ruins their credibility, not a good start for a pamphlet to convert people.
For the anonymous who quoted "the new CCC":I quoted the CCC to show that even the new church has something right. This idea that you cannot commit mortal sins if you are ignorant is not logical.

This is not a real Catholic catechism. This is the Novus Ordo catechism. People won't take your arguments seriously if you quote Modernist books, and you take a serious risk of learning some grave errors by reading this horrible books.
Be aware of Modernism.
