The judgement of actions is the judgement of souls. The soul is the actor for the human person - . . .
Of course, that is outside of Catholic teachings, and an usurpation of God's sovereign rights. The commission or omission of any action deemed evil is not automatically a sin upon the soul, as three conditions have to apply; simply put:
- 1. A person has to know that the action is a sin.
- 2. A person has to want to do the action.
- 3. A person commits the action.
Hence, an insane person might commit the heinous deed of murder but if he thought he was merely squatting bugs or fighting some alien invaders then there is no spiritual culpability, as he may know that murder is wrong and actually commits murder, but doesn't will to commit it. Similarly, a child not yet within the age of reason would be guileless of sin if he wants to steal and goes out and steals, but doesn't know that stealing is wrong. God doesn't judge us imperfectly as a human judge does, since God understands our hidden motivations, and a human judge cannot look inside the human heart.
This is all very basic Catholic doctrine, and I am surprised that a self-ascribed CCD instructor chooses to contradict it. It is one thing for priests to uphold standards of conduct for membership in a religious organization, and another thing entirely for a layperson to weild the judgment of souls which belongs to God alone.
