Breaking ANY of the commandments is a mortal sin.

I thought you were a Catholic, but with the above statement, I was mistaken.

“I thought you were a Catholic, but with the above statement, I was mistaken.”

You are weird. Do you have some funky priest? Apparently you didn’t get the memo.

We were given 10 rules to live by. Only 10... Which ones do you think are not important? Or, do you get to choose? Or do you think Church laws are more important than the commandments?

I’m guessing here, but I have been a Catholic longer than you’ve been alive...

I think this might be the misunderstanding:

James 2:

10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.

12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.(KJV)

Sin in fact is sin. Yes the scriptures tell us what God abhors most: injustice to widows and orphans. God also calls certain sins abominations (homosexuality).

The key term in James 2 is transgressor of the law.

Then the concluding key term from James is “judged by the Law of liberty.”
