I want to do a podcast on the conversion boom! Looking for someone to collaborate with.

To commit a mortal sin, three precise conditions must all be present at the same time. The absence of even one of these conditions reduces the act to a venial sin or renders it no sin at all. These conditions are drawn from the longstanding moral theology of the Church, rooted in Scripture, Tradition, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The first condition is that the matter of the act must be gravely wrong in itself, that is, it must concern something that is seriously contrary to the moral law. Grave matter includes actions such as deliberate homicide, adultery, fornication, blasphemy, perjury, serious theft, deliberate hatred of God or neighbor, missing Mass on Sundays and holy days of obligation without a serious reason, and other acts that directly violate the Ten Commandments in a significant way. The gravity is determined by the object of the act—what the person is choosing to do—not merely by the consequences or the subjective feelings involved. The Church teaches that some actions are intrinsically evil, meaning they are wrong by their very nature regardless of circumstances or intentions. When a person freely chooses such a grave matter, the first requirement for mortal sin is met. The second condition is full knowledge. The person must have a clear awareness that what he or she is about to do is gravely sinful. This means the individual must know both the moral wrongness of the act and its serious character before God. Ignorance can diminish or even remove culpability, but the ignorance in question must be invincible—that is, the person could not reasonably have known better despite sincere effort. Feigned ignorance, where someone deliberately avoids learning the truth to excuse wrongdoing, does not lessen guilt; in fact, it can increase it. Similarly, affected ignorance, chosen to escape responsibility, fails to excuse. True full knowledge requires that the intellect clearly perceives the grave moral evil before the will consents to it. The third and final condition is deliberate consent of the will. The person must freely and completely choose to perform the gravely wrong act with full awareness. This consent must be free from substantial external coercion or internal compulsion that destroys freedom. While strong emotions, habits, fear, or psychological pressures can lessen freedom and therefore culpability, they do not automatically remove it unless they render the act involuntary. For mortal sin, the will must give its complete and unreserved assent to the evil proposed. A half-hearted or reluctant agreement, where the person is still struggling against the temptation and would prefer not to sin, does not meet the threshold of full consent. Mortal sin requires that the person says “yes” to the grave evil with the whole heart, deliberately turning away from God in a fundamental way. When all three conditions—grave matter, full knowledge, and deliberate consent—are simultaneously verified, the sin is mortal. Mortal sin is called “mortal” because it destroys the supernatural life of grace in the soul, severing the relationship with God and making one worthy of eternal separation from Him if one dies unrepentant. It is a radical rejection of God’s love and friendship. Venial sins, by contrast, wound charity but do not destroy it; they weaken the soul’s union with God without breaking it entirely. Even venial sins should be taken seriously, as they dispose the soul toward more serious falls and hinder growth in holiness. Catholic moral theology emphasizes that these conditions must be evaluated with prudence and honesty before God. No one can judge the interior state of another with certainty, but each person is called to examine his or her own conscience carefully, especially before receiving any of the sacraments of the living, especially Holy Communion. The remedy for mortal sin is sincere repentance and sacramental confession, through which the grace of justification is restored. The Church offers, by the direct will of Christ, the Sacrament of Penance precisely because human beings fall and need God’s mercy, which is always greater than any sin when received with humble and contrite hearts. In daily life, the faithful are encouraged to cultivate a well-formed conscience through prayer, study of Scripture and Church teaching, frequent reception of the sacraments, and spiritual direction when needed. Regular self-examination helps one recognize when an act might approach grave matter and guards against the subtle erosion of freedom or knowledge that can lead to serious sin. Ultimately, the Church's teaching on mortal sin underscores both the dignity of human freedom and the gravity of our choices: we are capable of truly choosing for or against God, and our eternal destiny depends on the direction of that freedom, sustained by His grace.

@ShebaPushStart @RealCandaceO Both the Jews and the church fathers. It could never have been written by Enoch as it claims to be in any fashion. That alone discredits it from being divinely authored. Historical context, yes. Canonicity, no.

@FlyingPhoenix86 @RealCandaceO Who decided it wasn’t canon

So weird. We just discussed the Book of Enoch in my last book club meeting. Particularly the description of what each fallen angel introduced to humanity. (Although it is not a part of canon, Catholics are permitted to read it.)

(If you know The Dune series this isn’t a crusade of people versus other people groups but a crusade of people versus abusive Terminator like machines.) I dig it! 🤷‍♂️

@FaceLikeTheSun @MarioNawfal It could never have been written by the claimed author. It can provide some historical context for Genesis (as could the epic of Gilgamesh) but it is not canon for good reason.

It’s not older than the Old Testament It wasn’t removed from the Bible for being too crazy Yes it recounts details about Genesis 6 Why is everyone suddenly an expert on the book of Enoch And why are the actual Christian and biblical scholars who studied this for 30+ years being ignored?

🇺🇸 Joe Rogan and Matthew McConaughey dive into the Book of Enoch... Older than the Old Testament. Removed from the Bible for being "too crazy." In it: fallen angels descend to Earth, mate with women, and create the Nephilim. Giant monstrous beings who devour humans, animals, and each other when food runs out. McConaughey's take: "That sounds like us." Trump just announced he's ordered Hegseth to start releasing UFO files. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna just posted one cryptic message: "Read the Book of Enoch." Something is happening... Source: @joerogan @realannapaulina Clip: @hazardboysmedia

It is not canon for a reason but it can provide a historical context for Noah’s Flood.

@RealCandaceO being spawned today. Go check out chimeras, same sex embryonic projects, etc. Christ says the last days will be as Noah’s. How a demon and woman would mate seems bizzare but we do know of secret occult practices that perhaps were done in Noah’s time that caused it.

@RealCandaceO the product of fallen angels (demons) and women. This seems to be what Jude alludes to as well. St. Augustine held to the Seth/Cain view but many of the Church Fathers held to the interpretation in the book of Enoch. Ironically today it could be argued Nephilim are ⬇️

@DisaffectedPod Facts

You know why normal (heterosexual) culture is so obscene, depraved, and broken? Because you all adopted the sickest, most narcissistic subculture's practices. Astonishingly, you adopted gay male culture. EVERYTHING disgusting straights do is straight out of Chelsea. -J

Premarital sex is sin. Yes, even if she’s your girlfriend. Yes, even if you plan on marrying her. Yes, even if you’re engaged.

@NotMikeHarlow I gave up trying to attempt to sanitize and make positive the impossible. Gay culture is cancerous to body and soul because the entire lifestyle is self annihilating. The only answer is to embrace a life of celibate chastity in Jesus Christ concerning same sex attraction.

Gay culture is poison. It is an upside-down world where anything positive and healthy is vilified, and everything toxic and self destructive is glamorized. There is nothing that is more ingrained in you than to feel shame for wanting to find a loving monogamous relationship.

Drone footage. A Christian town in Lebanon. Gone. Israel did this. With our tax dollars. We are funding this. 💔

A Christian cannot be pro-choice. A Christian cannot be pro-trans. A Christian cannot be pro-gay.

Gay male couples adopt boys at massively higher rates: 81.8% boys in one study (vs ~50% for hetero couples). Preferences and outcomes show clear skew to boys. Gay adoption isn't 'love,' it's child abuse that exposes kids to environments with elevated sexual abuse risk. Ban it.

Every child needs a mother and a father. It should be illegal for gays to purchase children through surrogacy.

THE TRUMPS WANT EPSTEIN VICTIMS TO TESTIFY UNDER OATH HERE I TESTIFY UNDER OATH ON MY BIBLE WILL THE TRUMPS PLEASE TESTIFY NEXT?

Infertile couples bear the complimentarity of motherhood and fatherhood by design. They can and often should be encouraged to adopt. There is a privation but the natural anthropological model of parenthood is there. Homosexuals couples have no parental attributes whatsoever.

Our greatest enemy as Christians is hell—the loss of souls—not political losses. And we know from the 1917 apparitions in Fatima (the greatest private revelation since public revelation ended with the death of the last apostle) the biggest trap of our times to lead people to hell is communism and modernism, especially as promoted by the Catholic hierarchy. The threat to souls is not Trump (though he has certainly said some stupid things lately.) It's not even the Jews (even though I admit after living in Jerusalem last summer that the state of Israel is very evil.) Rather, the yawning pit to hell is opened because the Catholic hierarchy is promoting Marxism ad modernism (especially the heresy of religious indifferentism.) That's Our Lady of Fatima's warning, not mine (at least according to everyone who has read the Third Secret, including both conservatives and liberals.) Maybe we should pay heed to Fatima—the most unusual and extraordinary miracle since the Resurrection of Christ—given specifically for our times, instead of finding easy scapegoats that distract us from eternity.
