That's a really good list. Thanks NYer. I think most of us are guilty of something under most of these on a regular basis. I know I am.

But I went in with some of these from a really good examination of conscience and was told by the (wonderful, btw) priest that I was too hard on myself and they are not mortal sins. He told me to stick with the ten commandments and not to look too hard. If something is repetative and I am intentionally doing it to hurt God, it's a mortal sin but something like over indulging on goodies for the Holidays is not.

I think that some of these lists just go too far. Especially when there are some parishes that finding confessions is a hit or miss thing. I think that it gives undo guilt and may keep someone from the Eucharist when a Good Act of Contrition will cover it.

Okay, flame away, I'm ducking.

"Most of us"??

ALL of us -- save for the Perfect One 2000 years ago.

One itty-bitty "sin" is one too many for access to Heaven without the innocent blood of the Lamb of God.

Btw, I second the motion -- that was a great list, NYer.
