What Catholic (ROMAN Catholic) Beliefs Are "Optional"? [View all]
A school of thought seems to pervade this group that certain doctrine may be rejected, based on conscience, and therefore, even though the Church may say certain things are sins, they are no longer sins if the Catholic rejects the teaching.
I have some specifics I would like to have addressed, pertaining to sin in this first post. To simplify the responses, please answer with "Never," "Always," or "It Depends," and if the last one, then please elaborate.
