Dear God not again.
Some unknown family from out of town is sitting in a pew. But not just any pew- no they are sitting on the south side six rows from the alter.
What is this world coming to?
I walk in with my grandma and notice right away- those bastards are sitting in my Grandma's spot. She doesn't say or do anything- it's church- people will stare. She just leads me to the pew behind the sinners...I mean...fellow church goers.
Don't they know the Holy Spirit only resides in that particular pew in that particular spot??
No, they don't, because they are selfish.
I might be over dramatizing but Grandma did complain about the incident for a week, mostly because she didn't know the family- a rarity for a women who has lived in the same area for more than 80 years. And this happens so many times- people get so annoyed when others take their seat at Mass that they don't realize it's not about where you sit- it's who you're there for. (This probably happens in every domination- another reason we are all more alike than different- but that's for another post)
As for what a Mortal Sin actually is- let's take a look at what the Catechism has to say:
1857 For a sin to be mortal, three conditions must together be met: "Mortal Sin whose object is grave in matter and which is also committed with full knowledge and deliberate consent.**** For more information on the conditions of mortal sin see 1858-1860 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
