Pre-V2, it was God Almighty (The Church) who defined sin. Post-V2 it's the sinner who decides what is, and what is not, sin.
Venial sin, mortal sin, blasphemy, sacrilege and repeal of conversion as critical to salvation are all left to the conscience of the individual ( Unless of course you dare stand in opposition to the absence of practice and adherence to Sacred Teachings and Traditions of the One True Church.).
It's the Vatican who is encouraging worshipers of false gods and pagan beliefs to perform their satanic rituals on holy consecrated grounds in Fatima - all thanks to the guy from Poland in consert with his band of socialists who by their actions have proven their purpose is plowing under any remaining remnants of The One True Church.
Thanks to V2 the Sacrament of Confession is only necessary when one can not rationalize their way out of having committed sin.
It's not surprising that backsliding American Catholics ( whom I believe constitute more than a majority of the American Catholic Church ) 'feel' The Church should not deny baby killer proponents like Kerry the Body of Christ by way of a Consecrated Host. American catholics, like blind sheep ( blind to Biblical Study and Church law ), have been permitted to scatter in every direction - defining for themselves what it is to be 'Catholic'. The popularity of Brown's The Da Vinci Codes attest to the widespread acceptance of this heresy by American women who call themselves Catholic....thanks to the complete absence or milktoast response to Brown's attack on The Church from those who are bishops in name only.
The bishops of Rome and America embrace heretic priests in China allowing them to be celebrants of Holy Mass in the United States and study in Rome, while those who only want to continue the practices of Roman Catholicism - according to the dogma and traditions maintained for hundreds of years, before the insanity of V2 - are treated as outcasts; though they are not.
O Heavenly Father, send us holy priests. Saint Pius X, pray for us.
