"BS buffers" LOL!

Yes, the bar has constantly been lowered. I remember the days when Catholics who wanted to receive Communion on Sunday went to Confession on Saturday. I know, I know. I have heard about the "laundry lists of sins." But what I was hearing a few years ago, not so much anymore at my more conservative parish, was that it is almost impossible to commit a mortal sin. Forgiveness comes from the Act of Contrition during the Mass or even by receiving Communion. Since it's almost impossible to commit a mortal sin, why bother going to Confession ever, unless you have murdered someone or committed adultery?

I know that those priests and bishops who care wonder why folks don't go to Confession anymore. The reason is the wishy-washy modernist teaching that's being shoveled out to Catholics.

I thought that premarital sex was also a mortal sin- That would eliminate quite a few going to confession- Not to mention missing sunday mass/holy days of obligation, homosexual acts, drug use ect.
