While the USCCB Fights For Illegal Immigrants, Some Bishops Have Other Things To Occupy Their Time

Edinburgh, Scotland, Jun 5, 2018 / 12:41 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- In a pastoral letter for the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, Archbishop Leo Cushley of St. Andrews & Edinburgh stressed the importance of the Sunday Mass obligation for Catholics.

 “It is true that many people think of Sunday as just part of the weekend, a welcome break from the usual routine, and perhaps a day for family, or sporting activities,” the UK archbishop said in the letter.  
“Naturally, it’s good to relax and make time for these things, but our culture has largely forgotten that Sunday is a weekly holiday because of its meaning as the Christian holy day,” he continued.

Cushley went on to emphasize the importance of attending Sunday Mass. He noted that missing Mass due to extraordinary circumstance, such as an illness, is acceptable, but under normal circumstances, “attending Mass on Sunday is a solemn and binding obligation.”
“If we deliberately fail in this matter, it is a grave sin and we must go to confession before receiving communion again,” he said.

The Seven Deadly Sins

BREAKING NEWS! MEN ARE DIFFERENT THAN WOMEN!

Drawing on data from what sins were confessed during the Roman Catholic sacrament of confession, Monsignor Wojciech Giertych, the personal theologian to Pope Benedict XVI, and Jesuit scholar Roberto Busa found that men and women sin in starkly different ways. Their work recently appeared in the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano.

While the names of sinners and confessors were kept from the two researchers, each priest did categorize each sin confessed as one of the seven deadly sins - lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, anger (or wrath), envy, and pride. The researchers found that the most common sin for women is pride, followed by envy. After that the most dangerous sins for women were, in order, anger, lust, gluttony, avarice, and sloth.

For men the leading sins were lust and gluttony. After those, the most difficult sins for men to face, according to Monsignor Giertych, were sloth, anger, pride, envy and greed in that order.
