No pastor should presume to declare someone in mortal sin when even the Church itself [sic] is not willing to go that far.

The Church herself entrusts her priests with just such faculties to make just such admonitions to their cures.

The Church absolutely does not allow mere clerics to make such judgments.

I'm surprised at you, Siobhan. You'd allow some liberal priest to tell you you were in mortal sin?
