I didn't pay much attention in catechism class, so I was always at a loss, to determine what was a mortal sin, and what was a venial sin. Venial sins were ok, it was the mortal sins I wanted to avoid.

If you had paid as much attention in Catechism class as you did to the Navigators, you'd still be a saved Catholic instead of ................?????

Thanks bro, but I am comfortable being a ?????. I was never a saved Catholic anyway, and I don't think there was even one of my Catholic high school classmates who was either, though there may have been one of two.
I didn't pay attention in catechism class, because I didn't want those priests and nuns spoiling all my fun. Remember, I was a man of the world. I tried to avoid doing mortal sins, but those venial sins seemed to lead to mortal sins. Praise God that the Navigators came along and told me the truth. I never heard it before.
My dad once asked me if I wanted to be a priest. I said absolutely no way. I was more interested in the girls than being a priest. He never asked me again.
I hate to keep saying it, but I don't like to do any sins, except the sin of having assurance of salvation. If people have no assurance, that's on them.
