Why is the first Catholic commandment the longest?

Will you go to hell if you don't obey all Ten Commandments?
Not necessarily. For example, the fourth Commandment says to do no work on the Sabbath, nor to require or request others to do so or even allow an animal to do so, and is almost never honoured. Everyone who catches a train or bus, who buys a hamburger or even crosses the road at automatic traffic lights on the Sabbath is in some way breaking this commandment. No doubt, so is everyone who eats food harvested on the Sabbath, unless they check carefully when harvesting took place! Heaven would be a very empty place if this commandment had to be obeyed. The tenth Commandment, among other things, requires us not to covet our neighbour's slaves (manservants and maidservants), but this is one commandment I would willingly break if I found my neighbour holding slaves. In any case, it may well be that there is no heaven and no hell.
What does the last of the 10 commandments mean?
The last of the ten commandments is "You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor." This means that we should respect the property of others, and should not yearn for or attempt to steal others' possessions. As is the case with all ten of the commandments, we should remember that this commandment was only meant to govern the people of Israel. It was meant to be taken literally. It was not, as some Christian churches believe, meant to be a deeper, broader commandment for our lives that transcends to all cultures and time periods. Thus, the last commandment means only that the ancient Israelites should not long to own what is owned by others, seeing as disputes over properties can undermine the continuity of a culture. It is just another measure that the Israelites took to keep their society from falling apart.

Does the fourth commandment mean Saturday or Sunday when it refers to the seventh day?
The Sabbath of the Bible is Saturday. Christians adopted Sunday as their holy day when their cult absorbed the sun-god Mithras, whose day is Sunday, naturally. Christianity also took the Nativity story and many other important images from Mithraism. The Bible did say that Saturday is the Sabbath not Sunday. It says so in the fourth commandment "remember the seventh day to keep it holy". And Saturday is the seventh day, not Sunday. God rested on the seventh day, but Jews rest on Saturday, their sabbath. Christians (are meant to) rest on Sundays. EDIT: I believe that Sunday is the Sabbath, which would explain why Latino Cathloics start their week on monday, just as God did... Now Christians and Catholics celebrate the sabbath on Sunday, and Jews on Saturday, so it depends on how you interpret it, but I feel Sunday is the seventh day... EDIT: Sunday may seem like the seventh day. But if you really think about it, our calender is different from the Jewish calender and our calender states that Saturday is the seventh day, so the fourth commandment may be stating to the day of Saturday as the seventh day. Sunday, even thought Saturday is the 7th day, technically

How is Euthanasia involved with the fifth Commandment?
The meaning of the fifth commandment is: honor your mother and father. Euthanasia is better to ask for it in the sixth commandment which is not to kill. I am aware that when old people became old and sick the Hebrews or Israel took special until death and Euthanasia did not pass to their thoughts.
