No, there are three levels of sin:
Mortal sin
Venial sin
Sins committed by Catholic Democrat politicians.
The last sins are insignificant, because when a Catholic Democrat politician commits them, even though they are mortal sins like abortion or sodomy, the bishops will still support them, give them communion, attend dinners with them, give them annulments, and officiate at their funerals.
If you want to have your mortal sins excused, become a Catholic Democrat politician like Biden, Pelosi, Leahy, Kennedy, etc.
**Sins committed by Catholic Democrat politicians.**
Which would be mortal sins because they knew of the seriousness of the sin and went ahead and did it anyway.
Since I don't know if ANY of those politicians went to confession AND since I wasn't listening in at their confessional, I don't know if they are forgiven or not.
NOT my call.
But, JUDGE AWAY, oldbill, this IS the FREERepublic.
The folks to blame are the morons who voted them in and KEPT them in, KNOWING their pro-Satan agenda.
