Oh but it is possible to make such a declaration. Absolutely possible and utterly responsible for a pastor to do so.

Well, you and I disagree on this. No pastor should presume to declare someone in mortal sin when even the Church itself 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.
