  12. 12: While being envious, jealous, and bitter are obviously not great emotions to feel, he is not inherently committing sin due to not acting upon his feelings. If he were to insult or physically assault one or more of the buff people, he may commit a sin(s), depending on the level of intent behind and damage that results from his actions.
  13. 13: a and b) Stealing is inherently a sin, but the morally gray circumstances could make this a mere venial sin. Since she left without incident, she could simply confess her sin at confession. Stealing again would be a greater sin, but it is most likely fine if she only steals once, learns from her mistake, and attempts to never intentionally steal again.
  14. 14: a) I'd simply suggest that she directly apologize to her mother as best as she can, assuming she intentionally yelled back.
  15. b) Dear mom,
  16.  
  17. I am extremely sorry for angrily yelling back at you. I now realize that yelling was not the most optimal solution to the situation, and that I should have calmly voiced my concerns with you. Is there anything I can do to alleviate your anger and help you move towards forgiveness?
  18.  
  19. Thank you and sincere apologies,
  20. [Best friend's name]
  21. 15: a) The entire group, including the former student, is at fault. While the former student may have faced pressure from the other members, she should have known that they were not good influences from the beginning, given that they attempted to rob a family.
  22. b) It depends on the exact circumstances. If the person made the decision/was forced to make the decision to commit a crime without being influenced by others, then it is solely their fault. However, if being conditioned to commit crimes was a significant part of their upbringing, the entities (parents, teachers, etc) that conditioned them are also responsible for their crime.

  24. 16: a) The police force of Hong Kong refusing to disclose that they have kidnapped and killed protestors is one example.
  25. b) The action of doing so is obviously wrong, but under the laws of Catholicism, one can technically lie to avoid further punishment and go to confession to absolve themselves of the initial sin and the sin of lying. If they learn from their mistakes and actively attempt to never commit the initial sin again, then it's fine by me.
  26. c) Yes.
  27. d) Since God (and the priests to which I confess) are not judgemental in anyway, I am perfectly fine admitting my sins and mistakes to absolve myself.
  28.  
  29. 17: a) Doubting the presence of Jesus may only be a venial sin, since it's not on the scale of completely rejecting God or Jesus as a priest.
  30. b) No, as the Eucharist is an actual sacrament established by Jesus.
  31. c) As stated by Jesus himself, the Sacrament of the Eucharist contains his presence.
  32. d) I last received the Eucharist sometime in March (i.e. right before quarantine began). I attempt to sacrifice/give to others as much as possible. I set some time aside when I pray before going to sleep.
  33.  
  34. 18: Jesus is the ultimate sacrifice, sent down by God in a great effort to bring humanity closer to himself. As both a holy and human being, he also represents the unity between us and God. Jesus is the ultimate role model, as he presented the most "right" morals and beliefs to us throughout his lifetime.
  35.  
  36. 19: God loves us, and thus wants us to be free of sin such that we may come to reside with him in our afterlives. We, as beings with free will, can choose to stray from the path that we wishes us to embark on--he is merely giving those who wish to go with him the knowledge that they need.

  38. 22: The action of doing so is obviously wrong, but under the laws of Catholicism, one can technically lie to avoid further punishment and go to confession to absolve themselves of the initial sin and the sin of lying. If they learn from their mistakes and actively attempt to never commit the initial sin again, then it's fine by me.
  39. Yes, since God (and the priests to which I confess) are not judgemental in anyway, I am perfectly fine admitting my sins and mistakes to absolve myself.
  40.  
  41. 23: It depends on the exact circumstances. If the person made the decision/was forced to make the decision to commit a crime without being influenced by others, then it is solely their fault.
