Will Jesus accept you into heaven with 2% heresy and disobedience and mortal sin on your soul and mind? Does it make any difference that you only committed one small mortal sin "for Him", and not 5000 big ones?

Isn't one mortal sin still good enough for condemnation to hell?

Like kissing the Koran? Like wearing the Mark of Shiva?

Good thing hell was abolished by the spirit of Vatican II, isn't it?

Isn't part of the definiton of mortal sin that a person has to know the matter is wrong and of serious nature? How can the acceptance of preaching of authentic Catholic faith by sspx be considered mortal sin? They are not consecrating bishops every Sunday, they are preaching the catholic faith! Their irregular situation is a matter of concern but for many Catholics, it's far less of a concern than their local bishop's heresy and material schism. Better sspx in albany than Hubbard. How is this illogical?

Yes, of course. But, if the Mass is celebrated in a way that lessens the faith of the faithful, and it is locally, then what? When sharing facilities (altars, pews, etc) with protestants is accepted practice, when "lay ministers" are divorced, remarried, divorced and then remarried by protestant ministers with the advice and consent of the pastors involved, then what? You say most people aren't aware of the crisis, I say too many aren't even aware of the basics of the faith. Who to blame? The Ordinary is da boss, da buck stops there.
