Do you suppose the adolescent dissenters at Natl. catholyc Fishwrap will take note that our hip, post-Vatican II pontiff still believes there is such a thing as a mortal sin?
Pope Francis noted that June 26 is the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture. “In this circumstance I reiterate the firm condemnation of every form of torture and I invite Christians to oblige themselves to work together for its abolition and to support victims and their families.”
“Torturing people is a mortal sin!” he exclaimed. “It is a very serious sin!”
Yeah, I'm guessing that's a no.
Also, I think Mark Shea gets to have a big head about this, since he's been decrying our military policy of torture for some time now.
