I mean yeah for Catholics it is, but if you don’t fw that then it’s as irrelevant as someone telling you that your meat isn’t kosher. She appropriately categorized it per her beliefs and you can ignore it. NAH.

Eh as a Catholic she’s not wrong, but as long as you confess the sin you can be forgiven 🤷‍♀️ “mortal” makes it sound like you’re gonna burn forever no matter what

I’m so sick of this “holier than thou” culture.

Oh me too I commented because I’m sick of that attitude as well. I meant it’s technically a sin in the Catholic Church, since sex acts that aren’t procreative aren’t allowed. But like you can just confess and it gets forgiven, so no Catholic should treat someone like a bad person for performing an act that Jesus himself would forgive

That’s still bullshit. Nobody has like the right power to forgive, but Jesus technically so why would I confess it to some random guy?

Like not to mention, what about me like masturbating is somebody else’s business?

Well cause Jesus gave his Apostles and their successors authority to forgive sins, so it’s not just a random guy. But that doesn’t really matter, bottom line is Catholics believe masturbation is a sin. But it’s not their job to shame others for sinning since we’re all sinners at the end of the day

It’s not! Unless you’re Catholic which it doesn’t seem like you are. Maybe your sister was trying to help idk, but it was lowk weird and invasive to say that to you

Okay it’s still rude, bruh. She knows I am not religious and she had constantly tried to press her beliefs onto me since literal childhood.
