mortify Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 It's no different than going to a library, picking a book out, and copying a section you found interesting for your own benefit. Just because someone isn't making money off you doesn't make it stealing. I'd be interested to see any ecclesiastical statements regarding this issue (whether there are any), and then I'd like to know what motivated them to speak on such an issue. Just my opinion Mortay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aragorn34 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 (edited) I certainly don't mind confessing it, but I wanted to know if I am forbidden to receive Holy Communion without doing so (I may not be able to get to Confession before Easter). In other words, if it's only a venial sin, Confession is recommended but only optional. Right? Edited April 3, 2007 by Aragorn34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
got2luvjc Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 the Church says that we may recieve Holy Communion if there is really no opportunity for reconciliation beforehand, but a commitment must be made prior to recieving that you will go to confession as soon as humanly possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
