How about this example? I do not know if it is analogous, but it came to me. What if a man held a gun to your head and told you to kill your wife or he would kill you. You kill her. Did you commit a sin?

Dear johnb2004,

"How about this example? I do not know if it is analogous, but it came to me. What if a man held a gun to your head and told you to kill your wife or he would kill you. You kill her. Did you commit a sin?"

Keeping it simple, assuming there were no options to fight back or counterattack, no, I don't believe so, at least not mortally. When one is coerced to the point of death, one is not generally culpable of mortal sin.

But frankly, I'd rather die than see my wife die.
