[Mark17]

a lie, in almost every case, is not a mortal sin....

So, let me see if I can interpret what you are saying here. If, in almost every case, a lie is not a mortal sin, that must mean, that in some rare cases, it is. What kind of lie, would be a mortal sin? I wonder if Mother Teresa would be up a creek, if she committed ones of those lies?

I thought you were an ex-Catholic? Why do you have to ask?
