I am sure many, many millions of people have 'broken' all ten commandments.
Particularly since the majority of people that do not recognise them as commandments.

Can a person be saved by keeping the ten commandments?

How Jesus sets us free?

Why do Catholics not follow the Ten Commandments?
On the contrary, good Catholics not only follow the Ten Commandments but use them regularly as part of their daily examen of conscience. We are taught to use the Ten Commandments to prepare for our regular confessions, and as a guide to live our life. Our Blessed Lord not only supported the Ten Commandments but made them much more exact. If you pick up a good Examen of Conscience for a Catholic you will find pages and pages of questions to ask yourself on following each of the Ten Commandments. In our RCIA we are taught that if one can't come up with a full ten minute confession JUST from the First Commandment, then you are not even trying - all of us break the First Commandment soon after we get up in the morning and all through the day.

What statement describes the Jewish ten commandments?
There are two slightly different versions of the 10 commandments, one in Exodus, one in Deuteronomy. Jews generally refer to the 10 statements, since some of the statements are not in the form of commandments. The 2 versions of the 10 commandments differ in whether we are commanded to keep the Sabbath or to Remember it. Jews believe that the 10 commandments are only binding on Jews, while the 7 Noachide commandments are binding on all mankind.
Why is it OK for a Catholic man to break just about all of the 10 commandments as long as he goes to confession on Sunday?
All humans are imperfect, therefore we all sin. Catholics believe God will forgive us if we confess our sins to him AND if we are really and truly sorry for them. We are also expected to make a penance, which is a good action meant to reconcile the sin in question. This does not make the sin itself right, but it's only fair that you try to make up for the sin through action. It is not okay for someone to break the Ten Commandments, and going to confession to justify a sin would not grant forgiveness even if someone believed it did.
Did Jesus give the Ten commandments?
No, the Ten Commandments were given to Moses by God on Mount Sinai, according to the Bible. Jesus did not give the Ten Commandments, but he emphasized the importance of upholding them in his teachings.
How does Catholicism relate to Judaism?
Catholicism is Judaism fulfilled: All of the original Catholics were Jews who recognized Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, as their promised Messiah. All of the 613 commandments in the Pentateuch are categorized as either moral, ceremonial, or civil. This is how those commandments from Judaism relate to Catholicism. The moral commandments: for instance, the Ten Commandments - all of the moral commandments are binding on all men at all time in all circumstances. The ceremonial commandments: for instance, you shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk, the Passover, etc. These commandments were all meant to foreshadow the Messiah. It is a mortal sin for a Christian to observe any of the ceremonial commandments as it would saying that you didn't believe the Messiah had arrived. The civil commandments (St. Thomas refers to this as the judicial commandments) these may or may not be valid depending on your local government. It is not a sin to pass one of these commandments and enforce it, examples from the Pentateuch would be practically the entire 21st chapter of Exodus.
