| Is it a Mortal Sin for Catholics to not attend Sunday Mass or Holy Days of Obligation ? Question from Carol Messer on 01-07-2013: |
Is it a Mortal Sin for Catholics to not attend Sunday Mass or Holy Days of Obligation if able to physically do so? |
| Answer by Richard Geraghty on 02-17-2013: |
Dear Carol, To neglect going to mass is a serious sin. The Catechism of the Catholic Church quotes Christ, who say: Truly I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you." John 6,53. www.ewtn.com |
