When I was a catholic, I committed a mortal sin about every two minutes. I committed so many mortal sins, I could not keep up with the perfect acts of contrition I needed to do to get saved again. As soon as I got saved again, I would commit another mortal sin, and lose my salvation again. Before too long, I figured I couldn't stop committing mortal sins, so I thought I would just enjoy the sins, pretty much like all my high school classmates. It was eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die. Later, I found out that even the smallest venial sins, are all mortal sins, and one tiny little sin, is enough to send someone to Hell. I said thanks, but no thanks. That ain't going to cut the mustard for me.
What country,what diocese and during which years was this very unusual catholicism taught?
That is why the way is narrow. No one said it was easy to follow Christ. We all have our crosses to bare, some harder then others. You will always be Catholic if you were baptized Catholic and your life is not over, so God must not be done with you yet. I, along with other Catholics who read this, will pray for peace in your life and for whatever God’s will is to give you that peace.
I guess when catholics "brag" about how hard it is to be catholic this is what they're talking about.
IT would have to be a very frustrating way to live.
The absolute fear of dying without having been to a confession must be terrifying to the catholic.
If I were catholic I'd be camping out at the door of the priest and keeping that dude within about 30 feet of me.

Paul understood the battle with the flesh when he wrote in Romans 7:24-25...wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then on one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin.
