Where there are worse ideas to be executed, the C of E will execute them. And how.

And by the way, you know you can’t get to heaven on roller skates.

The baby pasture wanted to watch TV. Dad told him, “It’s pasture bedtime, son.”

nully, mortal sin is based on your doing something gravely wrong, knowing it’s gravely wrong and choosing to do it anyway. You’re probably going to die if you jump off a burning tower, but at that point you may not have much if any choice in the matter of whether you’re going to die anyway. (See the World Trade Center, 9/11/01.)

Yes. Despite my lack of faith, the medieval Pope’s stance gave me some slight comfort that dark day.

“It’s pasture bedtime, son.”

LOL!!

[verga]

No less an authority than a medieval Pope declared that jumping from a burning tower (clearly an act of suicide) wasn't a mortal sin.

There is such a thing as a "Noble" suicide. a scriptural example would be Samson, a modern one might be Thích Quảng Đức, or the soldier that throws himself on a hand grenade to save another.
