Roman Catholic AnswerYes, missing Mass on a Sunday is a sin, if it is deliberate then it can easily be a mortal sin (for those who do not know, one mortal sin is all it takes, if you die with one mortal sin on your soul, you are denied heaven for eternity). It is covered in both the Ten Commandments and the Precepts of the Church, you must attend Mass on all Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation. You may not receive Holy Communion at Mass if you have previously missed a Sunday or Holy Day and have not been to confession.

Is it a sin to drink beer in a Church or on Sunday?

.Catholic AnswerIt is never a sin to drink beer, as long as it is not to excess, then it would always be a sin. Church is a place to pray so I don't think one would have an opportunity to drink in a Church. If you have given up beer for something, or for a fast day then it would be a sin to drink it. Sunday has never been a fast day.


I am a Catholic by birth but I don't go to Church on Sundays and would like to know what other church could I go to and not feel bad?

Haha...no other church! You have the opportunity to see bread turn in to Christ every Sunday and you want to go to another church? No other church has what the Catholic church has. I don't think you realize how special the Holy Mass is. It is a mortal sin to miss mass on Sunday. (In a ROMAN CATHOLIC church.)

Is it a mortal sin for someone who was Catholic to leave the Church and get married in a protestant church and have her sisters and brother in the wedding?

.Catholic AnswerThe short answer is "yes" it is a mortal sin. Leaving the Catholic Church is a mortal sin, it is called apostasy and is *very* serious. Getting married in a protestant church without permission is a serious sin. Leading others into sin is called scandal and is a very serious sin (your brother and sisters). Inviting anyone who is Catholic to this wedding would be several serious sins, starting with scandal. All in all, this scenario is just racking up serious mortal sins like they are going out of style. I would suggest that you call your pastor, make an appointment, and sit down and discuss all of this with him, and possibly make a confession at the same time, and see what can be worked out. By the way, there is no such thing as "was Catholic", there is only a Catholic who is not attending Mass and confession, that is a Catholic who is living in mortal sin, which, needless to say, has eternal consequences.

Can Catholics change religion?

A:Yes. If you wish to remain a Christian but join a different denomination of Christianity, it can be as easy as attending the church of your choice and talking to the local minister, who will guide you in joining his church. For other religions, such as Buddhism, simply go to the temple or other place of worship and discuss the matter with one of the priests or monks. Be aware that the Catholic Church will regard your move as a grave sin, but that will no longer be a matter of concern to you..AnswerYes and no. From the viewpoint of the Church, once you are baptized Catholic, there is an ontological change in what you are, you are now something different, a child of God, and, since God has made that change, nobody can change you back, so to speak. Thus, once you are baptized Catholic, you remain a Catholic until you die. From the surface viewpoint, you could stop attending the Catholic Church, and stop participation in the sacraments, and "join" another Church or no Church at all, but that would just make you a Catholic who was living in sin; it would change your practice of religion, but it would not change your religion.
